I am experiencing the same problem. > When I see somewhat broken contribution, I am not brave enough to revert > them. They seems to have good idea. Yes. And it is sometime difficult to find a way to correct contribution in a way so contributors don't feel like "you" are reverting/undoing their changes. > I have been somewhat successful with google user name.

Humm that's a good idea, but I don't know how to implement them, without making people upset that we "publish their email". Some random ideas... Solution 1: Tick-in the option "Publish my email (not my wiki homepage) in author info" in users' preference pages. + That's easy to implement (I guess). - This option is going to make many contributors upset. Solution 2: Automatically create a wiki-homepage for each wiki account, then configure users' preference page so each user is subscribed to it's own page. - Probably more difficult to implement. - The system could be abused to send spam. + The email isn't exposed. Solution 3: Develop a tool to expose the email, for wiki users only. + we restrict who can have access the email account - We still publish users email account. Solution 4: Extract the accounts' email, then published it on a [Debian|Alioth] machine. Solution 5: Wait for Lenny's version, and use openID (I am not completely sure it would help). ... or something else. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
