Corruption on the planning Etherpad?

[W. Trevor King]

While looking at the planning Etherpad [1,2], I'm noticing
corruption/spam like:

  P or r rr please see The The The The Following Parr Links

Looking at the history [3], the corruption/spam seems to land with
verison 5408 (saved 2014-07-19).  Maybe that particular commit is just
a translation to Spanish?  Anyhow, things get hard for me to read
starting around there.

I think a global-write-access scratch pad works well for temporary
stuff like our lab meetings, but for this sort of long-running
document (with a published URL), I think it makes more sense to use a
something moderated, like a Git repository, to publish this sort of
thing.  I don't think that would be too awkward, since you can
delegate moderation by having the main repository just link to
per-site and per-project repositories (for sites and projects that
want faster updates than the centrally-managed repository can
provide).  We already have a versioned blog where we could keep the
centrally-managed page [4,5].

Alternatively, we could just hash this sort of thing out on the
mailing list, and leave it to readers to filter the spam.

Cheers,
Trevor
