something simple like:

Personal Preferences vewiable in edit (details in TWikiVariables) < hide>

• Horizontal size of text edit box:
  • Set EDITBOXWIDTH = 70
• Vertical size of text edit box:
  • Set EDITBOXHEIGHT = 17
• Default state of the link check box in the attach file page:
  • Set ATTACHLINKBOX =
  • Set WEBTOPICLIST = Codev . { Home | SvenDowideit | HowDidThisGetHere | Edit | Readme | Changes | Index | Search | Go }

• TWikiPreferences has site-level preferences of TWiki.
• WebPreferences has preferences of the TWiki.Codev web.
• TWikiUsers has a list of other TWiki users.

Another thought. I find I often want to reference information about people who are not (yet) TWiki users. However, if an entry is added to the Main page, it prevents them from later on creating a login. This suggest that it might be better to keep information about the person separate from the "logon" related data.

Sven: Hiding preferences can already be done with the standard HTML <!-- comment --> . Note that the 01 Dec 2000 release does require the comment to be on one line. The latest Beta allows you to span it over many lines.

John: We have the same problem at work. May be DefineUserTopicBeforeRegistration, a new brainstorming idea?

except that I was thinking of not using html, excellent, and thanks
