None at all. Regarding registration ... note that issues.apache.org/jira requires it in order to create or modify tickets. But it's only an e-mail verification thing. Maybe we somehow combine ticket creation and registration (at least e-mail address submission) into one step? Something along these lines: the ticket-create dropdown and form would be available to anonymous users, but before submitting the ticket, we'd ask them to either log in, or provide an e-mail address -- thus implicitly registering, and we'd follow that up with e-mail verification. I would not allow comments or other ticket modifications from anonymous users. -- Brane -- Branko Čibej Director of Subversion | WANdisco | www.wandisco.com
