Malware attacks on ThoughtWorks
Andy Yates
As you may already know, ThoughtWorks is currently the subject of a
malware advisory across a number of our sites. Whilst we are working
to discover what the cause of these issues is, we will need to take
down a number of sites where spam links / malware have been
discovered, including some that you may care about. We will endeavour
to bring things back in to service as soon as possible - and thank you
for your patience in the meantime.
For the short term, we will be redirecting ccnet.thoughtworks.com to
http://ccnet.sourceforge.net/CCNET/Documentation.html, and will be
closing off external access to http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/
I know that this community, in particular, has been very careful about
removing spam links to the site, and I can only apologise for the
inconvenience that this will cause. I am keen to figure out a good
long term solution to the issue, and welcome your thoughts and
comments on how we might be able to achieve that. If you have any
concerns, please feel free to contact me directly.
with thanks for your understanding

While I cannot speak for the resident developers or the community at
large, other wikis use a combination of registration, captchas and
vigilant user banning/reverting for combatting attacks. More advanced
measures include edit rate limiting, and forbidding the addition of
external links by "new" users.
Would it be possible to organize a recent (and clean) copy of the site
to put up on SF? the pages there are like from 2005 or something.
Good luck with the hunt, David

there is a documentation link in the upper left corner on your dashboard.
That has the documentation of your version.
About the docs on sf.net, any preference on a system?
mediawiki?
or something else?
and since we're now looking at the options of sf.net,
would enabling git also be good idea ?
I only worked with git on github, I've got no experience with git on sourceforge.
Any input greatly appreciated
with kind regards

Thanks, I was looking for the 1.6 releasenotes though, which didn't come
with my 1.5 ;-) In the end I found them in the 1.6 zip.

Using git would end all discussion about the quality of sf hosting,
since it would be pretty painless to have mirrors of the repository on
github and wherever. (Yes, I _am_ a git fanboy ;)

But i also vote to switch completly to git, the sf.net svn is damn slow.
