Thoughts are: * When we move to the click-through CLA, would we be able to force the 9300 users to click-through? * Would we want to? That would encourage people to agree to something without knowing about it. * So, if we are never going to push a click-through on those accounts, they will have to be re-created anyway for a user to actually gain edit privs. * However, many people probably signed up thinking they could edit, then learned they couldn't. * People might be pissed if they got vaporized without some word about it. Therefore .... 1. Send an announcement (f-announce-l) that we are doing an account audit and cleaning: * All account without watches and/or edit privs will be removed * The UserName shall be purged, so it is available again later * Link to page with more explanation. 2. Can we post for ... 24 hours? 48 hours? a short announcement everywhere on the Wiki? Change the theme or something so there is a notice that points to a page explaining the above. Otherwise, sounds like a wise idea to me. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
