It's nice to have you on board ;)

{snip-to-be-included}
Def: Snips can be included by wrapping curly braces ({}) around the
snipname of the snip to be included.

Nope, not yet. Currently you'd have to write the authors. This will
(hopefully|most likely) change in the (near|middle|far) future.
(Choose the phrasing you prefer ;).

There's one key part missing at the moment, after that has been done,
vanilla itself, will be able to handle a public dynasnip repository.

Just to be sure that we envision the same: You want your space access
restricted (e.g. modification only for registered users) *but* du-
jour (the weblog) shall be open for discussion to everyone. E.g. a
non-authenticated user shall be able to post a comment, but shall not
be allowed to edit arbitrary snips.

If that's what you want and ask wether it's possible: Yes it is. The
modifications needed to du-jour and it's surroundings would be
trivial, but this has one implication:

At the moment, a user is able to 'revise' his comments, i.e. to
reedit (and repost) his comment after having it posted. Anonymous
users won't have the ability to do so.

If that would be no problem to you, you can do the modifications
yourself:
- comment-new-do.r: comment out line 11 (if = user none ...)
- comments-new-form.r: comment out the lines 4, 5, 6 and 9
(to comment out a line, prepend a ; to it)

If you don't want to do this yourself, I would be pleased to provide
the changed dyna's ;)
[usual disclaimer: the above is untested, no warranty that it will
work as expected ;)]
