It already does usernames, but only in the sense that it gives you a
field on the edit page to type one in.  Note that this is no less
secure than the way usemod does it (anyone can register a new user
number with an existing username).  It is a little more hassle, but at
least it means that "Roger who doesn't use cookies" can put his name
in now :) Actually the only reason I do it like this is that I don't
care enough to spend the hour or so writing the code to sort it out
with cookies when I can just type "Kake" several hundred times.

Agreed, thanks, I'd forgotten that - it's on the CGI::Wiki to-do list
now.  Is it essential for grubstreet as it stands at the moment though?

Argh, OK, is this essential?  I know we already have RSS feeds of the
recent changes; are people going to want to kill me with blunt knives
if we move over to CGI::Wiki before I've implemented RSS?  "Yes - get
on with it" is an acceptable answer.

Ta for the feedback - others please shout if you care; now is the time
to say what's important to you so I can actually get it sorted before
we swap.
