[WikiEN-l] Privacy Study Looking for Volunteers

[Brian J Mingus]

I don't see a need to change the copyright. Just switch from the IP address
to something that doesn't allow you to personally identify the user, but
allows the user to claim ownership over the post if they want to, by
recording some bit of information. I think a cryptographer could design a
nice scheme here. This scheme should be such that neither WMF nor the
public can identify the editor, but the editor can prove that they are the
one who wrote the post.
