That seems like a kinda cop out answer, because those documentation/project pages[1] hardly ever have a depth of technical details apart from links to etherpad discussions and the code is already in our public SVN repos which is where anyone (well I know I would) would look for info if they planned to work on our new methods to calculate methods of scamming the system. -Peachey [1]. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/WMF_Projects
