I want a site where I do not INVITE people, I just add them.
Mar 31 2008, 6:44 AM EDT
For a known limited group - all the franchisees in our business - I want to just be able to add them from the start, with known identities, known emails, even initally set passwords.

Is that possible ? will it be possible ?

I think E-mails are safer but good idea. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Think I just found a more active thread discussing the same topic - http://www.wetpaintcentral.com/thread/567940/Private+Sites/post/3742677/Private+Sites
with a pretty good entry by budde. Hope that gets up.

Far as I'm concerned you could delete this thread now.

That thread has to do with private sites and the invitation process to private sites. I'd prefer to keep it about that.

Wetpaint is an opt-in service. What you're requesting would change the nature of how people can join Wetpaint wikis in a fundamental way. I'm not saying that it's impossible, but there would be a lot of issues to work out for such a large change.

Off the top of my head, we'd need a user-management feature for Administrators, another join/invitation path for people that got added, a temporary role designation for people who were added, but haven't accepted, and then make changes to all of our notifications to make sure that people who haven't accepted don't get email they never wanted.
