Since installing reCaptcha we have allowed anonymous edits.  You have to
do the word recognition if you want to add a new link to a page or
things like that.

For the last 5 months or so, there hasn't been any wiki spam.  I'd
prefer to take a little bit of a wait-and-see approach to see if this is
going to be anywhere near as bad as it was before we implemented
reCaptcha.
