One of the sources of information on Ruby that has a lot of
accumulated knowledge is the Ruby Garden Wiki.   However, I have
reached the point where I consider it broken beyond repair.  The
amount of Wiki spam was bad enough, but at least I could mark that
as being posted by spammers and this seemed to stem the tide a bit.
Now I've just looked and there are loads of completely spurious
pages created, like Rb_P, most of which claim to have no revision 1.
I can't get rid of them.  Maybe, even as a person who can approve
postings, I don't have enough privileges to do so.

So should we just make it read-only now?  Requiring that users have
an account is no use unless we are stringent about who we accept as
having an account.  Otherwise we'll get the "spam from temporary
email address" problem replicated.    

Is there anything else we could do?
