+1 Frequently I've thought "sod it" and gone elsewhere when confronted by a Yet Another login form. Given that any change is mailed to the relevant project list, so from an oversight POV, making an anonymous bug entry seems no different to editing a Wiki page. So is there any reason we shouldn't enable anonymous issue posting/commenting, if projects want it? Alternatively, the 'Create Issue' link in JIRA can be exposed by commenting out the permission check in includes/decorators/bodytop.jsp. Users clicking on 'Create Issue': http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/secure/CreateIssue!default.jspa will be asked to log in, and then redirected back to the create issue page. --Jeff > That said, you're right, the apache bugzilla does do that doesn't it. > > Hen > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
