[sword-devel] spam problem with wiki

[DM Smith]

One of the other techniques is to show an image of text and have the 
user accurately enter the text.
This allows anyone to edit anonymously, but not without personally 
making the change.
This would prevent bots from spamming the page.

I would like to see either this or your suggestion. I've been cleaning 
up about 20 pages a week. I'd rather not have to clean up any.
