Thanks, Matthew.  This strikes me as something the enterprise community
might also want to chime in on, so I'm cc'ing the mediawiki-enterprise
list.  Please discuss onwiki.  Thanks.

I've posted at

.
I encourage people to publicize the RFC on other wikis.

2013-02-11 Thread OQ
I  really don't see the drawbacks to making the settings more configurable
as long as it defaults to currently configured settings for a wiki. As long
as what would trigger a forced password change can be controlled by the end
user of the software, I can't think anything that should stop development.
