There’s a line in the Secret Crushes pepper:

preg_match("/(mtcmtauth|txp_name|comment_author_|comment_name|sFullName|RememberAuthorName|username|login|author|enterwiki_(.*)_UserName)/i", $cookie)

I just thought it’d be nice if we could let shaun know what cookies our favorite webware used, so he could add them to the default if he so wished.

My contribution is MediaWiki (as of right now, speaking of version 1.9alpha from SVN) - the section to add to the regex would be:

_UserName

Shaun, Not wanting to seem fighty or anything but I’m wondering if you approached the pepper developers who made peppers similar to the ones your now putting out for V2 before you went and overrode all their hard work. I know this is your baby and all but it does seem kinda off that crushes and birdfeed do the job that 3rd party peppers were doing in v1.

I know uFX is still working on nametags but it seems like you are now heading down exactly the same lines with being able to specify cookie names in crushes (which imho is a huge miss in this version). Am I being naive in thinking maybe it’d be better to get together with these developers and work together to a common pepper that kicks ass rather than two slightly different ones?

David, Shaun’s peppers do “kick ass.” From what I can tell Shaun has been nothing but respectful to other Pepper developers and their code. I commend Shaun for his professionalism and his innovations.

For what it’s worth, I believe I fall into the category of Pepper developer whose pepper’s features are now being provided by one of Shaun’s official peppers.
