There is no technical reason for needing to re-sign. In the absence of direction from the PPMC, they won't need to. When Terry created the test copy, he included a step to scramble the existing passwords, thus making the wiki copy effectively read-only. There is no technical need for this. > > Q2: If folks re-use existing user names, can they, in fact, get to the > same info as before with the same rights?

As a "bureaucrat" (wiki role) I can add or delete rights for anybody. I would expect to get some direction from the PPMC on this, but I am assuming that the ranks of administrators ("sysops" in popular parlance) and bureaucrats should be winnowed of non-active members, which is most of them. In theory, the PPMC could tell me to add a couple of new bureaucrats, remove my own rights, and go back to being an ordinary user. Which I could and would do, though I would recommend against it. --/tj/ > > >> >>> Does Apache Infra plan to change dns resolution of user.services.oo.o >>> and wiki.services.oo.o to point to the ooo-forum.a.o and ooo-wiki.a.o >>> domain names as of this transition? >>> >>> (2) downloads.services.oo.o goes away this needs attention.
