wearing steel toe-cap boots through metal detectors is a bad idea
apfelwein (frankfurt/hesse cider) is bitter but palatable. for some reason, it is offered diluted as well as neat. when i drank some at the funfair i was mocked as if they could not believe a foreigner would have neat apfelwein. this would make sense except it tastes quite weak.
some wikipedians aren't geeks!
a crazy man wants to start up sign language wikipedias, featuring video footage of people signing articles. this i think will be very interesting to edit!
tlh.wikipedia.org has a limited life expectancy
richard stallman is still mad
i should make openid support for mediawiki
jimbo can dance.

a) I don't see any difference between this and having user accounts. OpenID is just a technical system to make sure that you only have to sign in to one website, and it can then vouch to you for others.

c) I would ignore anything that Mark Williamson says.

Yeah, but we can still ban them and IP check them and suchforth. It may even be possible to allow people to have local display names in the User: namespace.
