Hi Luc and everyone.

I was on honeymoon and didn't care for the wiki since about a month ...
Sorry for that.

Your points are correct. I also forgot to login sometimes. But to force
logging in is against the wiki philosophy: If ppl want to leave just a
small comment for a tip or fix a typo, registration would be a burden
many wont take.

If spamming gets too much (and remember, we chose wikia because they have
good spam detection techniques) we should do what you propose.

I would propose to leave things as they are, and observe the commits for
some time, then decide whether anonymous guys do more contributions than
spam.

Sorry,  I don't understand what you mean by implicit chart?
