Cool, I added myself, and now I can login to Trac :slight_smile:

I think it's reasonable that these be only accessible by authenticated
users, and also that SSL be required for the second one.

Ideally, the user creation (and membership) stuff would be done via the
CMS directly, but a standalone membership app would have its own
benefits.

Anyone anywhere can sign up now? This gives them instant access to add content to our CMS! I will go through and rip out any privileges for basic authenticated users right now.

I have heard of a new drupal module to allow this and am keeping my eyes on its progress..

Tyler,

Well, that was poor planning on someone's part!

I will go through and rip out any privileges for basic authenticated users right now.

good plan.

Yes, though as I mentioned we still should be looking forward to something
better integrated including stuff for users to edit their profile etc.

But hopefully this relieves the immediate time pressure.

Depending on how simple the python script is, perhaps someone like Kanhaiya could look at porting it to PHP so we could insert it into CMS ??
