[wikka-community] Tracking contributors IP addresses

[Dario Taraborelli]

(moving the discussion to the community list to give the good example ;)

As part of the antispam features to be introduced in 1.1.6.4, it  
recently came up in a discussion on IRC that it'd be nice to enable  
tracking of IP addresses for any kind of modification (at least edits/ 
comments to start with).

It just didn't occur to me that WazoO already contributed some  
interesting code/DB modifications that we could easily adapt:  http:// 
wikkawiki.org/TrackIPaddressMod - thanks WazoO!

Now that the 1.1.6.4 antispam branch is in place we should consider  
opening tickets for 1.1.6.4-specific features/task, including this  
one, if we all agree this is a feature that should be implemented.

More generally (and after 1.1.6.4 is out) it would be interesting to  
log not just edits and comments but also page creation (useful to  
identify new pages), page deletion (currently page deletion doesn't  
leave any trace in the DB) and possibly ACL/ownership changes. I like  
the way Trac logs all these different events. There's already a  
ticket for this enhancement: http://wush.net/trac/wikka/ticket/143
