My additional wish would be a way to contact one time contributers. There are several ways to achieve this:
- Creating a field "home wiki" on the resistration form.
- Making email adresses mandatory & auto activate email notification
So why do you think people won't create throwaway email addresses? They do that all the time now.
Then we might also have to activate email confirmation.
People throw it away after receiving the confirmation, or when they're done with uploads.
Exactly what problem are you proposing to solve, anyway? If it's identity, then you're talking government-issued IDs, and I'm pretty the Foundation doesn't want to be in the business of collecting and securing all that personal information. If it's verifiability, then if I stole the picture the first time, I'll just keep up the pretense in subsequent email inquiries.
