This change would take quite some effort and I'm not sure it's worth it to be honest: On the one hand there are people not willing to give a valid email address. This won't change by forcing them to do so. I think they would use services like anonbox.net for one time mail addresses. On the other hand such a change would complicate the setup of new nodes: Users might abort the process at different steps:
Then there are a lot of questions coming to my head:
As stated above I'm not sure it's worth the effort. Also I feel such a change could increase the number of support emails and decrease the number of new nodes being setup. Is there a special reason for this request? Perhaps another approach could help. |
In our community we are facing the issue that many nodes are set up in kind of commercial use completely anonymously and w/o coordinates. We love the "frei" in freifunk but we want to have a way to be able to talk to our node owners. I share your thoughts in general but our issue currently is not the growth rate of our network but potential misuse. If nothing like this is on your radar I agree that the effort is not worth it for you. |
Are you coming to Berlin for the WCW? I'll be around probably so we could discuss possible solutions there. |
In case a community wants to be a bit more strict and make sure that a node owner is reachable via mail (the mail address is valid) it should be possible to make the mail confirmation mandatory even before the vpn key is activated.
