Mollom

Henri Bergius has integrated Mollom into the Midgard open source content management framework. From Henri's release announcement: "When enabled, all posts sent to Midgard either on-site or using the email import tools will be passed to Mollom for assessment. If Mollom finds them spam or ham, they will be moderated accordingly. This should save a lot of time policing the site."

Midgard provides an object-oriented platform for building data-intensive applications, and ships with its own content management system built on the Midgard framework. Its CMS solution features an interface for installing components that provide additional functionality, like Mollom's spam-filtering web service. The Mollom component will be available in the soon-to-be-released Midgard 8.09.3 version. Thanks Henri!

Ruben Vermeersch has released a Zend Framework library for Mollom. From Ruben's release announcement, "Mollom checks your comments and provide CAPTCHAs if it's not 100% sure (about 2% of all comments). This takes the hard work of removing spam out of your hands, with the reassurance that no good content will be blocked."

The Zend Framework is an extensible set of components for building Web 2.0 applications and web services, with more than 7 million downloads and 500 different contributors. Ruben's contribution of the Mollom component allows Framework users to take advantage of Mollom's unique approach to blocking comment and post spam. Thanks Ruben!

Ed Tabara from 1SmartSolution wrote an Adobe ColdFusion library for Mollom. Read more about it on Ed's blog post. Thanks Ed!

Matthias Vandermaesen maintains the Mollom plugin for Wordpress. The plugin is available from the Wordpress.org plugin directory and can act as a replacement for Wordpress' default spam plugin. Matthias just released version 0.7 of the plugin, which comes with full translation support, making it possible to translate and use the Mollom plugin in your favorite language. Great!
