Security

Actually, this is on purpose. We're thinking that visitors can use them to add annotations, complaints etc. We usually review all edits to the wiki in any case.

As for which pages only select few are allowed to edit, this is marked on a page per page basis (I fixed the one you edited the other day.)

Closing it.

Oh, great. But I wouldn't like a casual visitor to freely edit my annotations. And if there are many, you may overlook the changes? Reopening it as wish.

Well, only users registered at dsource are allowed to edit, which restricts quite a bit already. The problem as I see it (I'm usually the one who take care of the edits), is that you don't know who want to annotate, and I don't want to require them to ask permission, since that may be more of an effort than what it's worth, just see Wikipedia at large. The change log will in any case be there if someone should be mean.

If malicious changes should become a problem (so far you're the first ;), then I will consider changing the permission setup (I have given it quite a bit of thought already). As for annotations that are coming in - we may need an improved organization in any case (and many comments should probably be integrated in the API docs themselves) - which may involve a writeprotected page (approved annotations so to speak).

Closing again :) (Note that any more granularity in the permission system will be hard to handle in the current Trac, and more than I wish to administer.)

I agree. Thanks for your time.
