Some words of caution: Reddit went open-source in 2008... except for their spam measures. This led to Webtoid and a couple others, all of which were completely eaten by spam within weeks. Rather than go full open all at once, it might be useful to open modules or portions and then expand as you gain confidence in stomping out exploits. It might also be handy to add a "@dev@" user that y'all can follow. Is that the case with hubski? As it is, I usually bug mk and thenewgreen and if I remember forwardslash and insomniasexx but now that there's five of you it'd be handy to ping the lot of you with site-related questions that we see in general discourse. Welcome, Rob. you're a good man.
Thanks. That's a good idea, but I'm not sure hubski is really modular enough (yet). We could publish sets of functions, but I doubt anyone would do more than glance at it, until we release enough to run the app. Which is basically everything. Hubski is only like 15k lines of code. A tag might be better suited than a user. I think we all follow #bugski. Maybe we should complement that with #devski or something. But yeah, for our side of posting things, I think hubski serves that purpose.it might be useful to open modules or portions and then expand as you gain confidence in stomping out exploits.

I deal with spam over hundreds of servers in the US, Iceland, Amsterdam, and Singapore as part of my job as a sysadmin. If you guys run into trouble I'd be happy to have a conversation on things we have found work best for our users (Barracuda systems is also located in A2 I'm sure there are people there we can get on the hubski train if needed)
So,how would you be dealing with spam? Sounds like a good idea.A tag might be better suited than a user. I think we all follow #bugski. Maybe we should complement that with #devski or something.
