Perhaps as an anti-spam measure we could require answers to some
simple Scheme questions; for instance, in order to create/edit a page,
one would need to correctly input the answer to a question such as:

 What is the result of evaluating ((lambda (x) (/ 42 x)) 7) ?

While very quick and simple for any schemer to answer, I'd say a
spammer who is able to answer that (almost) deserves his edit
privileges ;-)

Just a thought.
