Dear all,

regarding Christmas netbeans wiki attacks we decided to prefer clean
content to free registration. Based on this we've disabled registrations
on this wiki page.

We are also working on the solution which can prevent spam or bot
accounts creation.

As short term solution ILM can create all the accounts manually based on
email sent to [email protected] alias. ILM is able to support
this solution during January. If this solution becomes a longer term
solution we need to ask somebody from Netbeans for help with manual
registrations.

As long term solutions we consider these possibilities:

- 	add special module for authentication (registration
	mail, verification code etc.), it looks it doesn't exist in 			JSPWiki 
community, we need any coder to write it
- 	delegation of manual registration to other responsible team or 		 
person from NB through [email protected] mail alias
- 	return back to unsecured solution as it was till now (insecure
	solution and high risk - we don't recommend this)
- 	special edit of source codes of JSPWiki to automatically reset
	password and log out newly registered user and send him new 			password 
via email (this should be probably done by some Java 			coder)

The enhanced registration module looks like the best choice, but we need 
someone to code it. We are waiting for your input and also for possible 
help with coding Java and other JSPWiki modifications.

We will inform you about progress.

Kind regards

Matej Pilat
