Well after about 4 months of operation, the new Gambit wiki seems to be a success. Remember that the old wiki was being vandalized on a regular basis. Now that a captcha is required for all edits there has been no vandalism of the wiki. Moreover it seems that the wiki main page is accessed roughly 100 times per day, which is not too bad (I just hope it is not 99% failed vandalism attempts!).

I have just installed a recent distribution of MediaWiki and PHP, and the reCaptcha extension. In order to do this I had to use a different machine (dynamo.iro.umontreal.ca) and copy all the pages from the old wiki to the new wiki.
When a page edit is saved a visual captcha will now appear to make sure the edit has been submitted by a human user.
Please let me know if you find broken links, missing information, or other issues.
