Updated the Wiki to the MediaWiki 1.16.0-version. Update of the SemanticWiki-Bundle did not work so for the time being it is not upgraded
The introduction of the Captcha wasn't too successful. Some bots still edited pages. But at least matters did not become worse.

Added a Captcha to the user creation to make it more difficult for spam-bots to register

After frequent freezes of the Wiki decided to do an update of the software

During the OpenFOAM Workshop in Zagreb two suggestions were made concerning the Wiki (and promptly implemented):
- Special Interest Group-pages were communities of users interested in similar applications or techniques can form
- A mechanism to tag pages according to the version of OpenFOAM for which they are valid: Version Information Templates

An extension to the Wiki that prevents spamming by heuristic methods has been installed and seems to work (denied a number of spamming events already). The only problem seems to be that it classifies certain RSS-Readers as spammers and blocks their IPs.

A lot of spamming has been going on. The Wiki is undergoing some maintaince, to prevent such things in the future, sorry for the inconveniences you might eperience.

Again a spam-bot visited this site and added Links to Spam-Sites. The changes have been removed and precautions against this happening again have been taken.
On the positive side: the spam-bots think that modifying this site is worth it. What a compliment.

An individual that calls himself Buba5 (the name speaks for itself) erased the complete FAQ and this page. If you see him, tell him mummy is looking for him and he's a bad boy.
