What does 'authentication' mean to you? Normally this means a password
check to ensure that someone logging in as a particular user in fact is
that user. Obviously this is something we already have... ;)
External authentication system plugins would also be nice, and some
people have been starting on that; for instance there's an LDAP
authentication patch which should be a good starting point if someone
wants to take that up.
and email notifications
(i know the 1.4 plans on this features), that i think are being slown
down by the WIKIPEDIA ...
What is your oppinion ???
I'd say your opinions are not supported by fact. Wikipedia has nothing
to do with the work on the e-mail notification feature; there are
general issues still to be resolved with it (code style,
generalizability, maintainability, correctness, extensibility,
internationalization, etc), and Tom is *still working on it* -- it's
not finished.
