The password is a good idea, however, right on the home page you tell 
what it is:  "...There is a password to edit this wiki, in order to keep 
the spam down. It is the name of this raytracer without the hyphen in 
all lowercase letters..."

Kinda defeats the purpose of using a password, doesn't it?

I don't have any realistic suggestions on how one could be distributed 
either.  Giving it out here in the newsgroups is okay, but also rather 
limiting.  I certainly would never suggest that the use of the Wiki 
should be limited to *only* those who peruse these groups.

Just my (not very helpful) thoughts...
