This would let us track who changes what. And I am not aware of any bugzilla system being affected by spam. But if this is not possible, then any solution that will let anonymous users contribute to the wiki while not making authenticated user lives more complex and that is robust to spammers is fine with me. At this point it's up to the trac system administrator to continue. Axel, what can you offer? -- Jean Delvare
