-1. I do not see benefits from proposed change and I do not want to administer people (esp. not having administrative tools like a list of all registered user names etc.). I think there will be more overhead with managing people than the current one with reverting vandalism. With users requesting contribution rights one has to react in several hours and make decision on unclear grounds. With vandalism the actions are more clear, do not take much time, and I do not see a problem in reacting in ~24 hours. There was only one epidemic in the last year when a dozen of pages were changed at once. I think that there are other simple changes that can and must be implemented. 1. Protect certain pages like FrontPage from editing by anyone but AdminGroup. 2. I think we must review / drop the PoweredBy page. Some time ago (about two years ago I think) I split the page into three lists: a) Sites b) Hosting providers c) Surveys and other publications The experience of the last two years is a) Sites is a big list that is loosely maintained (almost never updated) and is hard to verify whether the claims are true. That is it is hard to verify whether some random site uses Tomcat, that it is safe, that it should be allowed to the list, or that it is pure spam... I propose to drop the "sites using Tomcat" list. Maybe write something like "we dropped the list on January 2012, because..." (not sure about wording). b) The hosting providers list is maintained. There were a dozen of updates during this year and it is easy to verify whether there is public offer on the site or not. I propose to keep the list and move it to a separate page. c) The surveys - some are outdated. I would like to keep the list, but I'd prefer to see some contribution to it. That is if anyone knows some more up-to-date information or publications to list there.
