I don't know what information "some volunteers" have access to, who
qualifies as "some volunteers" (does the board qualify?), or why it matters
whether or not a person is a volunteer.

By access logs I meant HTTP access logs.  It's pretty clear that without
taking extraordinary measures, what you're editing is not anonymous.  But
some people are probably under the impression that what they're reading and
searching (and linking from) is private.

The IP addresses of logged-in editors are visible to volunteer CUs;


En-masse, or one-request-at-a-time?

deleted revisions and log entries are visible to all volunteers admins.

Transparent?
