Hi,
I wrote and maintain a few astronomy related wikis on wikispaces.com.
They are membership based and I only let trusted members in. For
everyone else the wiki is read-only. No spam problems. Cost is zero.
An example is http://deepskystacker.wikispaces.com . You'll see the big
red warning not to ask to become a member. It's pointless :-) People ask
all the time and I simply ignore it.
Of course we could have a philosophical debate about what a wiki is
without being 'open' but I simply use it as an easy to edit information
store that search engines index. Being able to collaborate with specific
people rather than the 'internet at large' is also great.
Ultimately of course it's 100% the prerogative of the pskmail
maintainers to do as they wish. My only feedback is that bad information
is worse than no information. I've been terribly confused with the
pskmail information and have not been able to make it run yet. After a
few months rest I think I'll give it another try. Anything the team can
do to cull incorrect or outdataed information would be great for all new
users.
Many thanks to all of the multipsk contributors.
