Your site is perfect for illustrating my concerns about the "open by default" configuration of xwiki. I was able to register an account (I used my real email, but it could've been a fake one), and was able to make a comment on your page here: http://shept.org/docs/Shept/Features Did you really intend to leave that page open for comments? I would guess not, since you turned off comments on your WebHome page. I find it very scary how easy it is to leave doors and windows open. I can shut the doors I find open, but I have no way of confirming that I have closed all the doors, especially the back doors that I do not know about (eg whatever is in the XWiki space) cheers Paul _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
