Do you think there may be a compelling argument for granting anonymous apply privileges here? There are many ways to implement this and I won't claim to know the easiest, but I will outline a few that I can think of: 1) setup a dedicated email address and write a procmail recipe that attempts to apply any patches and emails back with the status 2) apache has a few different ways to allow authenticated and non-authenticated HTTP requests to write to the filesystem (darcs push over http is theoretically possible, right?) 3) perhaps darcs should/could have, or benefit from, a webdav or webfs mode (I consider this suggestion controversial) Since the wiki already supports applying patches via its web interface, why would I suggest this? Because not everyone is using a web browser to access our darcsit wiki. Trent being one such example. Is it worth the effort? I would say, only if it helps us advance the state of art with darcs *or* is super simple to setup. Therefore, my vote is on #1. I'm not claiming that #1 is trivial by any means, but the manual does sketch how to do it for a regular user: http://darcs.net/manual/node5.html#SECTION00540000000000000000 Food for thought. I'm in no way volunteering for this and I would completely respect/understand a decision to not make this change. Jason
