Thoughts are:
* When we move to the click-through CLA, would we be able to force the
9300 users to click-through?
* Would we want to? That would encourage people to agree to something
without knowing about it.
* So, if we are never going to push a click-through on those accounts,
they will have to be re-created anyway for a user to actually gain edit
privs.
* However, many people probably signed up thinking they could edit, then
learned they couldn't.
* People might be pissed if they got vaporized without some word about
it.
Therefore ....
1. Send an announcement (f-announce-l) that we are doing an account
audit and cleaning:
* All account without watches and/or edit privs will be removed
* The UserName shall be purged, so it is available again later
* Link to page with more explanation.
2. Can we post for ... 24 hours? 48 hours? a short announcement
everywhere on the Wiki? Change the theme or something so there is a
notice that points to a page explaining the above.
Otherwise, sounds like a wise idea to me.
