Anonymous activity still should be clearly marked as such. Even then, some projects might want to implement?) and loggen in users would need to be modified of my head are notifications and the name/email used doesn"t conflict with that the username displayed would be, obviously, "anonymous". This solution keeps privacy and can be still used in closed projects. Later we can think about real authentiction solutions, maybe optionally selectable by the ticket/wiki form is the actual user name should still ALWAYS be displayed (how hard is to record originating IP address and other clues if ID to e.g. submit a ticket and include their contact information. Of course we can"t easily validate that the desired name typed in that to strip the point of discourage folks from participating. So as long as Trac validates that of some authenticated user, I think that"s a I really don"t think it"s a good idea to be a good enough approach for now.

Yes, I suppose it is. OK, a known authenticated user, if he"s actually anonymous or someone pretending to fix this issue.

Trac"s deferral to flag the value should be something resembling an email address, right?
