I remember, that we had once real trouble with spammers. In our attempt
to fight against the spam, we deactivated the personal pages. This
might be still a result of this action.
Sure, this could be :-(
Maybe Marko can tell something about this? He is something like our
"main administrator" for the website and knows pretty much about plone.
At the moment (and for me in general) it is a bad idea to use the
private folders in the member area of this site.
One reason are the ugly proxy errors show in the members area several
times (result of the hard coded restrictions as only method to get this
site under the actual plone version more stable an resistent to
spammers), the other reason is that all data in the member area will be
lost if we switch to the new plone version.
To get the main content to the new site is a hard enough and will take
longer than planed by me :-(.
Another fact (more philosophical than technical): For me a 'privat'
section on a community site makes no sense.
Why? Keep in mind that this site is for community work an that's why it
should be used to work together. All documents (also drafts) should be
available for all volunteers to prevent double work.
There is no (!) reason for personal folders on this site. If the content
is confidential or related only to one person this site is the wrong
place for it.
If there are reasons to prevent the public from drafts or other contents
(like manuals for the use of the site) please use the folders in the
main sections where the mangers can set permissions and the different
document states provided by plone.
In fact the current problems on the members area are bugs as I said it
before, but there are no time ore resources to fix it.
So please do not use the members area until we have the new site online.
Regards
Marko
