Contact and download might make sense too. the policy i think that is worth having is: until it becomes a problem, there is more harm than good in restricting edits (beyond needing a registered account). until the cost of dealing with the bad outweighs the benefits of the good, then let it be lax. the worst that happens at the moment is there is a git revert and some stuff is up on a page for a little while. if we restrict we end up with zero contribution. that is the model we had before. you needed git commit access. we had ZERO contribution. not a single person wanted to help. people volunteered at times to be "web master" then vanished immediately. the restrictive model is a failure as it results in a basically un-maintained and un-contributed-to website. that is, to me, proven fact as it has been our state for a long time. trying to "prove a point" by being a pain, just makes me go "well that's immature" and think far worse of the person. if it's some anonymous spammer or man-child trying to show off i can go *sigh*, revert and move on as i don't know them, and frankly, i don't care. if it's a community member that i expect better of... that's another matter. :) to prove my point - look at all the commits to the www in the past few weeks from a range of people simply doing things like fixing typos. they were never contributing before, and now they are. we've had 122 commits and 1 of them was spam. that was reverted and account of user deleted. let's wait and see. as i said - that's not an invitation to make a point. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
