== Proposal 05-Mar-2006: RealNames ==
First, let me say that I appreciate anyone and everyone working on this project.  I do want to propose that we make it a site standard to [http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?UseRealNames Use Real Names] or work anonymously.  Best, [[MarkDilley]] | <small>[[User talk:MarkDilley|talk]]</small>
: Could you say more about this, Mark?  I ask because I'm totally supportive of UseRealNames for meatball or any other project where "community" is more of a focus than producing information for the public.  For any wiki, I feel a lot more comfortable interacting with a person with a real name than with a pseudonym, though if I knew who that person was in real life, I might feel differently.  I also feel more comfortable working with a logged in person, no matter what name, than I do working with an IP address.  Reputation is tied to that login name, not just to the real person behind it.  I am really looking forward to more conversation on this.

Well Ted, I think you said it.  Community is more a focus than the production of knowledge.  I do think that we have to allow for anonymity though.  So, as I agree with you that I personally would rather people sign in, I think that allowing people to participate, but [[OptOut]] of the RealNames (proposed) site guideline, is important.  IP addresses are unfortunately a part of that.  Best, [[MarkDilley]] | <small>[[User talk:MarkDilley|talk]]</small>
After quick discussion, working on [[RealNames]] [[MarkDilley]] | <small>[[User talk:MarkDilley|talk]]</small>
