I agree that a wiki is more suited to civicaccess than a blog.  (A blog is a good idea, but should perhaps go under a different name, for the reasons Mike listed.)

I am willing to install a captcha-enabled wiki software next week, either on the existing server, or host it on mine.

If no one objects, and the person in control of the server and/or domain name can get in touch with me, it will be done.

we've had 2 different responses to "have a blog"
-mike lenczner says: it should not be directly related to <a href="http://civicaccess.ca" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">civicaccess.ca (ie it should have a different domain)
-others say we should set one up for the project...

in any case the wiki is clearly not a useful tool anymore - whatever good content was there has long since been turned into spam.

   I suggest that in the interim that the WIKI be closed so that the  
existing site won't harm the reputation of our movement.

<a href="http://civicaccess.ca/wiki/PostalCodes" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://civicaccess.ca/wiki/PostalCodes as it, like most pages on the  
site, are just SPAM.   The site should either require passwords for 
editing or be closed.   I understand that there isn't volunteer  
resources at this point, which is why I'm recommending it be closed.
