Hi Andi,
I think the problem with spam that arrives when having a popular wiki that
permits anonymous edit can not always be secured from spam.

Since this is a brainstorm, some easy solution could be:
- required a registered user
- require the use of cookies, detect proxys, user agent, IP, etc
- require a minimum of 60 seconds between posts from the same user
- use moderated post wiki
- all edits that have been done in a 60 seconds window, should be chaked for
 common words, spam checks, etc. Then release the edits to the wiki.

As you may have noticed, DokuWiki was hit by large automated spam
attacks several times recently and we need to think how we can prevent
this in the future without loosing the openess of the Wiki.
