[IxDA Discuss] theory behind login screen of IxDA ?

[Esteban Barahona]

I now only use the web fron-end in this mailing list (unless if I'm
posting a new thread; which I don't know how to do on the
gamma.ixda.org interface)... it's a preference of real web
communities instead of everything-over-email.

I get the sign-in form the first time (liking that it uses my real
name); but my second thought was "how insecure".

However with minor changes it can be great:
1) add a "signing from a public computer" box, forget the IP after
the session
2) add an option to authorize-deauthorize IPs*
3) make cookies that never sign-out on certain computers, so that a
dynamic IP is not an issue.

*and delete all posts made from a deauthorized IP... but I think
deleting posts (IMO, a must-have feature for forums) is not possible
