I don't know how serious of an issue this issue... but I just noticed spam on the wiki...

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Google_Summer_of_Code

Notice the "QR Code" and "Hallowen Contact Lenses" links?

Sanctity of the information on the wiki is really important...

I've reverted the changes, and torched the offending account.

-M.

We get SPAM on the wiki regularly.  Since the premise of a wiki is 'to allow everyone to contribute', this means we _will_ get junk.  We (you, me, everyone) all need to 'watch' pages and make sure we keep it under control.

If some information must be tamper-proof, then it should be hosted on www.eclipse.org, not on the Wiki.
