[vlc-devel] mailaddress harvesters.

[Derk-Jan Hartman]

I have noticed a increasing amount of SPAM since i joined the VideoLAN 
team.
i traced large parts of this SPAM back to the AUTHORS file and the 
Mailinglist archives.

I advised the mailinglist managers a while ago to mask the adresses in 
there archives, and this is being worked on at the moment i was 
informed.
I now changed the /team page to replace @ in the listing of developers 
to -replacewith at -. I chose this string because it is clear to most ppl, 
yet confusing for automatic mail-harvesters.

Since there are also many email-addresses in the source code (and again 
the THANKS and AUTHORS files) i would also like to propose to put a 
.htaccess on CVSweb with login/pass anoncvs/anoncvs. I know it is not 
handy, but i think it would be better.

Would someone be so kind ?
Or does anyone have arguments against this?

I know i can't fight of all spam, but i would like to keep it to a 
minimum.
