An "edit this page" link would make is *sooo* much better to tie the

With one of those 'don't crawl me' request parameters, I assume? And a

engines, do we?


why not? showing a login page to a search engine is not going to make
that big of a difference


Well, at the moment, all content in Daisy is visible to the world. I
don't like this. Were it protected in some way, I would agree with you.

It can be protected in pretty much any way you want, anyone with admin rights on Daisy can do it.

Anyone who arrives at the wiki initially has the role of "guest". People can self register, this makes them "user". After this rights have to be defined and assigned by an admin.

In addition we can limit access to only live documents, i.e. published and to particular collections. It's also possible on a per page basis but administration of this is cumbersome, the ACL interface is not really geared up for this.

So the question is, with respect to read access to the "live" documents and to the "in development" docs (write access is already defined):

1) should we keep access open to all users (including guests)
2) should we allow access to users (self registration possible)
3) should we only allow access to people approved by the community

My view is that we restrict read access to published docs to "users" and encourage people to comment on the docs rather than edit them.

The we have the existing doc-editors and doc-committers role for editing and publishing.
