Thank you. In Dokuwiki, what we need to do is make user account creation require admin approval -- in other words, once you get the account, you can edit, and all the filtering happens on the "get the account" step. I've now tweaked our Dokuwiki configuration so that only admins can grant accounts. I realize this might seem paranoid to some people, but open wikis -- including specifically Dokuwikis -- get spam-saturated very quickly, and open user registration is not a barrier. There is no point waiting for it to happen; we might as well prevent it now. >On a different note.

Yes. It would be nice if there were a link on every license page pointing to a single shared page about "how to discuss licensing issues with others at the OSI"... Ahh, exactly what you propose below. See below. >I'd suggest to replace the former "Log in to enter a comment" section >with a line like: >"If you have questions, please see the <link>FAQ page, or check the >license-discuss mailing list archive." Perfect. I've added this FAQ item now: http://opensource.org/faq#license-discussion Luis, we can point to it from license pages. Simon, note that I also made sure http://opensource.org/faq#licence-discussion (with a "c") works, for those with British reflexes :-). -Karl _______________________________________________ License-discuss mailing list License-discuss@opensource.org http://projects.opensource.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/license-discuss
