I have this idea that I should be able to write a security policy for
MoinMoin which uses SpamBayes to judge the appropriateness of any given
submission. It would be more accurate and faster than the current default
security policy in MoinMoin. I started to work on it and have something
that seems to be working on the SpamBayes side of things, but I can't get
the MoinMoin side of the equation to balance.
My messages to the moin-user mailing list have so far fallen on blind eyes,
so I'm broadening my search for a MoinMoin expert who would like to help me
finish off this demonstration. If you're interested in pursuing this idea
here are a couple URLs:
* The current code:
http://spambayes.cvs.sourceforge.net/spambayes/spambayes/spambayes/MoinSecurityPolicy.py?view=log
* My messages to moin-user:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.wiki.moin.general/4381/match=spambayes
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.wiki.moin.general/4488/match=spambayes
The motivation for the concept is in the docstring of the module as well as
in the messages, so I won't belabor the point here. As one of the current
"editors" of the Python wiki I can tell you the current scheme of using
lists of "naughty words" to identify potential wiki spam is far from
perfect. There's also the motivation found here:
