Hi all, I have one minor annoyance in the ConfirmAccount extension - there's no email notification when people apply for a wiki account. I see that there is a config option "$wgConfirmAccountContact" which you can set to an email address/alias, but there is not any way to have an email sent to all bureaucrats that I can see. It looks like it could be pretty easy to add that feature, though - any interest? Alternatively, we could add infra@ as the address where new requests get sent (I don't imagine we'll get a lot of them). How does that sound as a plan? Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Neary Community Action and Impact Open Source and Standards, Red Hat Ph: +33 9 50 71 55 62 / Cell: +33 6 77 01 92 13

Seems reasonable to me. I can't see us getting flooded with legitimate requests, and if we get flooded with illegitimate requests some time down the track that is something we would want to address separately anyway ;). Steve

Steve _______________________________________________ Infra mailing list Infra@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/infra Not everyone on the infra list can confirm an account. It would be better to send it to all bureaucrats then to send peoples personal information to an open list with a public archive.

Fair point. We should check what gets sent in the email. If it's something along the lines of "there are requests in the queue", that would be better (although annoying for list members). If it's got an email address in it, that would be bad. Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Neary Community Action and Impact Open Source and Standards, Red Hat Ph: +33 9 50 71 55 62 / Cell: +33 6 77 01 92 13
