login on the wiki is still the primary brake against users.

I don't really understand how it works.

of course I must login once :-)

after that I need to be active not to be unlogged. But the non-activity time is short. sometimes so short I haven't time to end the page I write. and the login question happen to make me lose a page

after a quite long time (an hour or so, if I try to connect, I'm connected without passwd. How many times exactly?

Would it be possible to use cookies to make this automatic along 2/3 days?

to be practical, Mozilla gives me a passwd menu, so login is easy, but have no spellchecker (at least no installed) and konqueror have a spellchecker, but asks me to type the pass each time.

if not too rough for secirity reason, automatic login should be quite a good thing. (it's the case on the french Alionet forum, I have never to type a passwd)

thanks jdd

I have the same, so for long edits I use external editor like Kate that has ability to highlight mediawiki formating (Tools -- Highlighting -- Markup) or edit a copy on local running mediawiki and then just copy all to the opensuse.org. Apropos automatic login KDE has kwallet application that stores passwords. Once per session wallet has to be opened and than applications can look for passwords as they need them. This will not prevent timeouts and lost edits, but makes overall logins easier. -- Regards, Rajko.
