From my point of view there is more than one alternative :o)). In short: 1. We want (new) contributors contribute without hassles 2. We don't want spammer's contributions We could solve that through changing the workflow (this is not a quick solution though): - Make the "edit" button visible for all visitors. - Check the authorization of the editor while saving (if not logged in). - offer a simple account creation method: "Enter Your mailadress here - we will contact You. Your *first* contribution will be approved before beeing published" - send the *publishing request* to the moderators/wiki admins. - after approval send "Your contribution has been approved and published <link>" mail to the contributor Several advantages: - Very low barrier for the first contribution - attract Contributors who turn away even beeing faced with a captcha - The approvers can see and estimate *the contribution* while deciding to approve or discard the request. - The contributor has human contact and we (humans) can contact the contributor :o)) - one more simple task (easy hack) to participate the project in a helpful way. Disadvantage: - more work to filter the *first contributions* This is just a rough edge draft of how it could be done the "community way".
