Description Matthew Flaschen 2013-07-20 01:35:34 UTC 
We should support comments by anonymous users.  This will require a schema change.

We can probably take the same approach as the revision table in core (see tables.sql).  It has two columns, one with a user id (like we have), and another, rev_user_text .
Comment 1 Tyler Romeo 2013-07-24 20:05:57 UTC 
I should also note that since anonymous users don't get the OKFN JavaScript right now, they can't even view annotations, let alone add them.
Comment 2 richa jain 2013-08-17 16:55:39 UTC 
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/78251 supports the creation of annotations by logged out users.
Comment 3 richa jain 2013-09-24 18:05:57 UTC 
merged.
Comment 4 Matthew Flaschen 2013-12-05 02:53:38 UTC 
It turns out there is a built-in way to get an anonymous user's IP from JS.  For anons, it is returned from the API with action=query&meta=userinfo .

I'm just putting this here for future reference.
