Its also worth noting that if there are pages that we need maintained w/o changes for legal reasons (in particular, http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Download, but perhaps others?), we can just Protect them in mediawiki. Protected mediawiki pages can only be edited by those with an administrator bit set. On 6/19/06, Seth Nickell <snickell@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
On the principle of providing for the possibility general community openness (i.e. lets not have barriers even if we're not getting a bunch of people jumping in quite yet), I'd like to propose opening up the wiki... i.e. not requiring manually approved accounts. I think this raises some legitimate security concerns... about the best response I can provide is that these just haven't been major practical issues amongst wikis in the open source world. Defacing of wikis, about the worst I've actually heard of in any projects I'm connected to (and even this is rare), is very easy to revert. Sometimes I think prudence and responsibility can be bad for having functioning open source projects, which are inherently a little hacky and fly-by-night in nature (even the very important ones that end up running critical systems, ahem) ;-) -Seth -- Fedora-directory-devel mailing list Fedora-directory-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-devel
