==OpenEdit and spam/vandalism==
SklogWiki is, and will hopefully remain, OpenEdit. However, due to a recent spate of vandalism,
the main page has been protected, and the [http://recaptcha.net/ reCAPTCHA] system has now been installed.
The reason for installing the CAPTCHA rather than blocking the offending IP is that the  perpetrator(s)
seem to have access to a wide range of IP's, which are most probably "zombie computers", indicating that the
damage is almost certainly caused by a badly written viral "wiki-bot".
===Types of spam/vandalism encountered===
*Insertion of "link-spam" in existing or new pages, particularly in index.php
*Replacing each of the + characters in the page source with a blank space.
*Deleting almost all of a page, except for a couple of hundred characters at the beginning.
*The formation of six (random) character user accounts, whose first and fourth characters are in upper-case.
