hi all. i've mentioned before that i'd like to include better comment spam 
filtering in the next contributed plugins release. i'm hoping to get some 
feedback on which comment spam plugins you think should go in, and how.

mako's akismet plugin is definitely a candidate, as are the captcha plugins. 
pyblosxom doesn't yet have a plugin that allows site owners to moderate 
comments themselves, but that might eventually be another candidate.

i've also noticed that comment spam has dropped to nearly nothing on my blog 
since i started requiring javascript. that might also be worth including as an 
option, especially since it can work alongside filtering plugins like akismet. 
it would mean that commenting requires javascript, but that's pretty 
reasonable at this point.

right now, i'm leaning toward including akismet and javascript. what do you 
all think? how many plugins should we include? what should the default setup 
be? should we continue with the inevitable arms race after the first release?
