This wiki is a version of MoinMoin version 1.0, patched to work with Python 1.5.2, the only version of Python available on SourceForce web servers at the time. See BaptisteLepilleur's web page to see how he did it.
Backups of this wiki are done on a nightly basis (around midnight UTC) and can be downloaded from http://cppunit.sourceforge.net/backup/. It appears the backups are out-of-date...
This wiki is under attack by spammers, trying to increase their page ranking on search engines. Some are a little annoying, adding links to the end of the page. Some are more annoying, creating new pages with nothing but spam content. Some are destructive, replacing whole pages with spam.
This version of MoinMoin has little protection from spammers. The most recent version, 1.3, has several features to fight spammers:
- The Revert Action - returns a page to a previous (pre-spam) version
- The Delete Action - deletes pages that are nothing but spam
- Access Control Lists - restricts the actions that users can take (not recommended for public wikis)
- An Anti-Spam Feature - blocks certain words, URLs, etc., when the spammer attempts to add them to a page.
Until recently, it was impossible to run the latest version of MoinMoin on the SourceForge servers. However, on 12-05-2004 they upgraded their web servers, including an upgrade to an up-to-date version of Python. See SourceForge for details.
Until this wiki is updated, you might want to save local copies of any big changes, in case a destructive spammer comes along. See SpamStrategy for other tips and tricks for fighting spammers.
