Private categories

This aspect covers the addition of private categories to public wikis. These categories would be visible to site members, and/or moderators, or administrators only. This aspect also covers the extension of site permissions to a new group, "trusted users".

User	Amount pledged

RobElliott	300
Helmuti_pdorf	50
pieterh	100
leiger	50
Total pledged:	500.00 USD

To make a pledge for the 'Private categories' aspect, use this form and confirm your pledge by PM to pieterh. Your pledge will be checked and published within a few hours. Your pledge is a soft contract; you can cancel it at any time by using this form. When you make a pledge on an aspect, Wikidot Inc. will, after producing new functionality within that aspect, contact you and ask you to make a payment of part or all of your pledge. You may still at that stage refuse and all your pledges will be canceled.

Cheating

So, technically, I could pledge $10,000 USD for this thing, then when it's developed, I'll just withdraw my pledge.

Do you have any ideas about how to combat this type of situation? Perhaps a marker against someone's name, so that if they cancel a pledge, they need to wait a month before they're allowed to pledge again for any aspect?

Pledges go through me before they're posted. If there are many small pledges on an aspect, a few people who change their mind does not matter. If there is a large pledge, I'm going to need convincing before we take it seriously.

The Scope of this Aspect

RobElliott 04 Oct 2009 19:12

At the moment this aspect seems to cover giving all members permissions for all private categories on a site. However, although it would add to the complexity, one thing I would like to see is that the permissions for each private category can be assigned to specific members. So it's not that all members can see all the private categories but that each private category can have its own assigned group of members.

My pledge

There are a few things that don't work as well as hoped (need to make a list and post it in the projects forum…) , but this is still pretty much completed. Is there any specific way to pay for these pledges yet? I'd prefer PayPal, personally.
