[Foundation-l] Single login - decision 2004

Fri Nov 12 12:24:40 UTC 2004

Well i just chased down my first ever vandal (221.219.60.170 on
en.wikibooks) and i think that which ever option is taken, its going
to make tracking down cross wikivandals far easier. also if we did
that, we could presumably have a cross-wiki recent changes page which
might help protect the smaller wikis by giving them the protection
from the RC patrol from the big wikiprojects. I personaly support
version 1 or maybe 3. Anyway, best of  luck to the developers.
Is it possible to create a list now of how many clashes there would be
with option 1? so that whomever(s) makes the decision are informed.

paz y amor,
rjs
