Hy,

Do you adress the Wiki pages, or the cocoon-docs ?
For the Wiki-pages, this property could indeed be
deleted from the pages, since the author(s) is(are)
kept in the history of a page.

Hmm... I think, it is really better to know, who does the work. Although
the work as a whole indeed is a comunity work. I don't like the idea of
anonymity. Besides this i think, people are proud working on this
project and i think, they have all rights on earth to be personally
named...
But everyone has also the right to keep in the anonymity.
For me the decision is up to the author.
