[WikiEN-l] Privacy Study Looking for Volunteers

[WereSpielChequers]

Perhaps we should move to a different licensing model for future IP edits. CC0 for IP edits would be a more sensible license for edits by an IP where in many cases no-one could attribute the edit to the individual who made it. If people don't want to release their edits as CC0 they can always create an account.

Regards

Jonathan Cardy
