Fair enough. MoinMoin seem to have put a lot of thought into the
anti-shite features of their wiki -

I respect the fact that you're the server admin Colm, but could you
loosen up a bit? I don't think anyone else here wants to make it
difficult or frustrating for people acting in good faith to be able to
participate in the scoil.linux.ie community. In particular myself and
Nils, who were the first to volunteer to do something with the site,
don't want people to have to email admins looking for accounts.

Personally taking all the presented opinions into account I think the
only fair way forward(or fair compromise if you perfer) is to have a
system where users need accounts, but those accounts can be obtained
relitively easly, and relitively automaticly, for humans acting in
good faith.
