Yes, leave and forking is our main problem. Sure. I think that to make easy
to fork will be something like to show the exit way to some people.... well,
let me think one minute....Yes! excelent!

disadvantage. But for privacy/security reasons I
don't think that WMF
should
give the fork a copy of the databases that
includes the userids and their
logins. Perhaps this could be finessed by having the WMF create a bridge
to
allow wikimedians to activate their existing
account at the forked wiki,
and
the forked wiki would presumably not allow
editors to otherwise create
accounts using names that had edits imported from Wikimedia.
Simple: make it so you can use Wikimedia logins as OpenIDs (or even
just as OpenID delegates, so you can point your Wikimedia profile to
an existing OpenID provider).
