: Could you say more about this, Mark? I ask because I'm totally supportive of UseRealNames for [[MeatballWiki]] 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 [[ | Well Ted, I think you said it.

So, as I agree with you that I personally would rather people sign in, I think that allowing people to participate, but [[Opt out]] of the RealNames (proposed) site guideline, is important.
