Re: [Phpgroupware-users] wiki issues

[Chris Weiss]

I've run across several open project wiki's that have ben defaced by
both spewage such as this and advertisements.  It's just part of the
territory.  No matter what project, if I can dertermine the "Real"
content from the crap, I'll remove the crap and place an "edit note"
that the crap is what I removed.  It's the "responsable" way to help.
