Except that official docs are written by people who really know what
they are doing ("experts") whereas the whole point of this Wiki is for
any user to contribute tips. Still, I'm happy to give it a try.
One procedural concern is how we can authenticate Wiki contributors
since I've been told UI prohibits hosting Wiki pages with anonymous
content (which is understandable). We will get back to you all on
that. Unless of course someone else wants to volunteer to set one up.

I think the internet world at large understands the caveats on relying on a wiki.> One procedural concern is how we can authenticate Wiki contributors > since I've been told UI prohibits hosting Wiki pages with anonymous > content (which is understandable).

Can't it just be hosted elsewhere if that's an issue? On Wed, Mar 11, 2009 at 6:15 PM, Chris Lattner <clattner at apple.com> wrote:> > On Mar 11, 2009, at 9:13 AM, Vikram S.

> Ugh, that is annoying.Yeah, I think there were only 3 accounts in the past wiki: John's, Reid's and mine. The procedure of obtaining an account for non-UIUC person was not so easy, afair... --- With best regards, Anton Korobeynikov Faculty of Mathematics and Mechanics, Saint Petersburg State University
