As of Jul 21 2009, the corehackers wiki requires users to create an account before editing or creating content. We made this policy change for a lot of reasons. I’ll focus on one of the positive ones. I want to be able to give credit where credit is due. If a random IP address uploads a fantastic new FAQ or howto, I can’t provide attribution. Having usernames gives us a way to provide attribution and give credit where it is due.
Hmm… Speaking of attribution, we really should put a CC license on the wiki content. The question is which one. I lean towards CC-BY. If you’d like to weigh in, please toss me an email.
