I'm not sure. Marking it as the script somehow (`ikiwiki-cgi <ikiwiki@sitename>`)? seems to make sense and would make it easier to manage. -[[harningt]]
\ No newline at end of file +[[harningt]] + +I've been thinking a bit about the GIT attribution in ikiwiki... + +If no email set, I think "$USERNAME" is reasonable... no point in the +'<>' causing clutter. + +If no username set... then something like '@[IPADDR]' makes sense... +(not in email brackets). + +In the case of OpenID login.. I think that's a special case... I don't +think attempting to munge something meaningful out of the OpenID makes +sense... but I think some massaging might need to be done. + +Ex: I've noticed in the current mode where logging in w/ +harningt.eharning.us/ shows up in the logs w/o HTTP and if I login w/ +http://harningt.eharning.us/ is shows up w/ the http... causing some +inconsistency. I think it oughtta make sure that it has the properly +discovered, canonicalized form (ex: if there's a redirect to another +site (harningt.eharning.us -> www.eharning.us) then technically the +target site is the 'real' openid (at least according to how most OpenID +RPs take it). + +... + +For OpenID edits, I think there should be a way to tell it what +username to show in the preferences dialog (so you can have a 'normal' +$USER <$EMAIL> setup.)
