This was my favourite choice, too, but the problems that we discussed about this approach were: - this does not allow to easily provide access to non-members who are interested in contributing to a particular project (if someone is motivated to contribute, it probably does not make sense to force him to become a member) - on the other hand, if one is working on a particular project involving contact names, does it make sense to automatically give access to anyone just because they are members of Wikimedia CH ? (*) Or, in one word: it is inflexible. Unfortunately, as Rupert mentioned, Mediawiki is not ideal for restricting access in a finer-grained way than "member/not member". So how can we improve on this ? At the moment, for the particular project we were discussing, we created a wiki on another server, but this does not scale very well. Frédéric (*) I have had the problem where I was discussing by email with someone, trying to get some content released under a free license, when someone uninvoled jumped in the discussion to give his opinion -- no need to say that I did not like this, and it did not make us look good -- so I am a bit wary about wide access for contact data (for the record, it was not someone from WM CH or living in CH). _______________________________________________ http://wikimedia.ch Wikimedia CH website Wikimediach-l mailing list https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediach-l
