Re: [Wikimedia Education] join user group without google

Although what points Ilario is relevant, my main concern (as Avery points out too) is more the use of Google forms with *mandatory* fields to fill than the privacy policy of the user group and/or the "centre for Internet & society" (although I agree that more clarity on that point might help too) In short, if applying to membership means compulsory give away of pieces of information like phone numbers to Google, then I'm not in. Alternatively, if google document it is, then the least would be to NOT make the fields to fill up mandatory. -- *********************************************** Alexandre Hocquet Université de Lorraine & Archives Henri Poincaré Alexandre.Hocquet(a)univ-lorraine.fr http://poincare.univ-lorraine.fr/fr/membre-titulaire/alexandre-hocquet ***********************************************
