Re: Wiki write access

[Erik Hatcher]

I just forwarded this thread over to the Jakarta PMC list to inquire 
about other wikis and whether this is a reasonable requirement for 
write access.  I'm fine with it personally - but it is still only a 
minimal road-block for vandals.  Enforcing a "valid" e-mail address is 
probably asking for too much - I'm not sure though.

I understand that all Lucene users should be able to modify the 
wiki's
contents, but at least, they should be forced to create a user 
profile
beforehand.
I am pretty certain this behavior is by design.  Even requiring a
profile wouldn't prevent vandals creating a bogus profile.
The diffs are sent to the e-mail list for this very reason - 
oversight.

I think that requiring a user profile with a valid email address and 
password
usually would reduce possible spamming (like mailing list 
subscriptions), as
you can easily identify the culprit.

However, I was just curious about this.
