Hello John, It looks like whoever registered gets allocated collection data disk storage space. If you signed in anonymously, it looks like the logic is "who's collection space will you be entitled to modify - we need to identify which collection is yours". It looks like the anonymous option he mentions is anonymous to remain anonymous to other members, but not to your own collection space.
It looks like there is no anonymous browsing of collection data if you don't contribute your own data - or at least have space assigned to you which you can. That would require a second type of passive use registration and programming to support it. It looks like when he invites "non-members" to register just to enjoy the encyclopedia, he is really meaning, "if you aren't a member, I invite you to become one." (Then you wouldn't be a non-member anymore...) Maybe if you ask, "Will it be possible to browse the encyclopedia without looking at individuals collections and without being a member?", you could get some additional clarification. I understand your question, probably because I am a non-member. That's my take on it.

It's always necessary when you program a website with a database behind. Security is important. take care susan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kashuba, Ontario, California" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Pelé Pierre-Marie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "MeteoriteList" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 22, 2006 3:23 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] Re: Encyclopedia of Meteorites : New features > Pierre-Marie, > > It's clear that registration is free.
