This is useful because links to your own site are definitely not spam, so should not be counted against the user. This is important for a deployment like Drupal.org, where issue comments might have many links to different posts around Drupal.org. We don't want contributors getting blacklisted :)

This is built against the 6.x-1.x git version? I was looking to do a basic test, but wasn't sure what to apply the patch to as I wanted to do D7 testing (not D6).

There is no 7.x version of spam. This is built against 6.x.

I knew that there was no official release, but I hoped that someone had gotten a bit closer (I haven't looked at @marleythedog's sandbox).

Getting back to Drupal.org though & #1293186: Spam - meta: better spam-combating suggestions

You're still a week or two away from having a viable GPL Mollom alternative?

There's really no point building something like this for D6 as we should be launching the D7 version of Drupal.org in the next month I would hope.

That should probably be discussed in the other issue, but long story short: I'm tired of dealing with spammers. If we have a temporary solution in place and it goes away because of the D7 upgrade, then maybe people will be inclined to help with porting the modules. Spam.module is not a complicated beast, so it really shouldn't take too long to port. I also think your estimate for a D7 launch is a bit skewed.

In any case, I'm not going to sit around and wait any longer. I've spent far too much time on spammers and others have spent a lot of time on it too. No more waiting. Worst case, we have to go without spam.module for a week or two while I port it.

Aaaaand that's all off topic for this issue :)
