For one, that's because originally the user guide translation site was unrelated to the haiku-os.org site and has its own user/login management. There are also a set of roles to consider; different permissions for translators, authors and language managers. For the pootle localization site it's the same thing.
Okay, though one could still join those one day no matter the roles :-)
Also, it was considered that keeping the documentation publicly hidden, we won't run into issues when topics for future Haiku releases become public before the release is out. I guess that's not really to keep future features a secret, but to avoid confusion.
Being an open source project, security would indeed be rather pointless. I think it would suffice if you could choose the release you are wanting to work on or see -- that's something we'd need some day, anyway.
Could you do me a favour, Axel? I have created a user for you (axeld) at http://i18n.haiku-os.org/userguide/ (password's in your mail). By default, your role is "Not assigned". Can you check if you can view pages (that'd be great, we wouldn't need a new role for "Read-only"), and if you can edit pages in block or full mode (that would be bad...)?
I don't have permission to see anything with that role.
I can delete your account again, if you want...
At least I can't do anything with this role, anyway ;-)I'd be very much in favor of no longer requiring a login for viewing only. It's okay to hide things a bit, but I doubt anyone would look at i18n.haiku-os.org for the documentation of the last release.
Anyway, I put up that wlan page at my public dropbox (a pain to navigate with Web+, impossible with BeZilla...) at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21023348/Userguide/en/workshop-wlan.html
Just two remarks: 1) We are already at FreeBSD 92) "Haiku does however include an easy script..." -- while I'm not a native speaker, I'd say it's either a simple script, or an easy to use script? :-)
Otherwise it looks nice to me. Bye, Axel.
