i *do* understand - quite well i think...blowing up the (far frombeeing perfect or complete) mldonkey client with a multi-user system (which has to be included to almost every part of mld) to introducemany (not only security-) problems. And i think as this list is read by the developpers its the right point to discuss something like that. (i myself contributed some patches too with one already included in the source - im far away from calling myself a dev but as i sticked to mldonkey right from the beginning im concerned about this development of not concentrating on the real important things (downloading/uploading/server+client+source management) but working on fancy interfaces and mu-systems)
Yes you're right, discussion is needed. And i think in last instance it's the devs choice to implement a feature/whatsoever or not. I personally see more pro-s than con-s for a mu-system. You don't have to give an account to anybody, right? And what's the difference between receiving an e-mail/ICQ-message/... and adding a file to your list, or let your buddy do this on his own? If it's something you don't like, well you're the admin, you can remove this file if you think, it might harm you.
Yes, it might not be so easy to implement, but it's worth the discussion, as the beginnings are already in the code.
Maybe mu-system/nice interface isn't so important for the client to work, but every contribution / feature request is important. Because if you punish people for sharing their ideas, you might miss _the_ idea for important parts (source-management etc.), because the person having this idea is feared of getting flamed at. And i consider the new_html_gui the one of best thing happened (feel free to flame me)
