The stumbing block is the spam issue, and I think if we write a simple mailman like registration module (for example in PHP :) we could have people register once and then use wiki/trac/tickets/svn etc. as you like (not as flat as it sounds, but with some lm-sensors heads elevating permissions as needed, e.g. self-registration allows wiki/ticket editing, and svn write access needs a bit flip by an lm-sensors leader etc) Hans, maybe your PHP friend expert (is that Romain copied in the Cc?) would be interested in this general purpose registration module stealing some methods from mailman? -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
