3) given people are starting to step up and actively work on 3, its quite possible that we will reach a point where connect can be killed, maybe even before we have better access / time to deal with spam accounts. There is potentially not much point in cleaning up connect if it looks likely that we will be able to kill it in the next month or two, as its hardly something that new users are going to find we haven't advertised where it is well for a long time and existing users only ever go there to apply for membership which can now be done via email anyway. Which brings me to a thought bubble of I wonder if we just kill the front end or make it only accessible internally to the hero's or even just remove the dns entries for connect so its only findable for the people who still really need to use it.
Oh, yes, I agree, mostly.
However, in discussions with cboltz, tampakrap, and lcp yesterday, we thought that with some of the proposed solutions, some cleanup would help when porting information to the new system.
At any rate, it could not hurt, and it looks to me like Carlos and Stefan are doing a super job.
I don't think you need cleanup for porting the openSUSE membership info, because basically you only need the list of users that belong to the "member" group, and their user data. But I noticed there are other groups with many members, like for example "KDE team", "ambassadors", "Marketing team"... I don't know if they are used for something or not. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
