Sumana Harihareswara <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|REOPENED |RESOLVED Resolution| |INVALID --- Comment #29 from Sumana Harihareswara <[email protected]> 2012-04-19 15:30:59 UTC --- The discussion at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Request_an_account#Account_Request_extension.2C_revisited finished as follows: "So, it seems fairly clear that there is no real enthusiasm for enabling this extension. This seems to be based around the fact that ConfirmAccount actually lacks a lot of the features that ACC connects, although it was an improvement over the tools available in 2008 when the initial discussion happened. It would require far more developer resources than initially thought. We're going to be trying to work out if there are actually security issues that need to be worked through, and will start a new bug to deal with those specific problems if information dictates that we should; in the meantime, please do contact us if you're aware of specific problems with ACC. If any of you have programming experience or skills and want to work with us on fixing ACC problems, please do come to either the Berlin Hackathon 2012 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Berlin_Hackathon_2012 or the Hackathon at Wikimania this year; we'd love to have a group to extend and improve ACC, although I know that a lot of people are already (and have been for a long time!) helping make the software better. In the meantime, do give us a shout if you can point to specific rather than general issues, and drop me a message if you want to be kept in the loop.
