<PRE>Le jeudi 03 mars 2011 &#224; 11:07 +0100, Romain d'Alverny a &#233;crit :

&gt;<i> Giving your name is not a loss of privacy. Giving an email address
</I>&gt;<i> contact is not a loss of privacy. 
</I>
It depend to who you give it. And given
<A HREF="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/privacy">http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/privacy</A> , I think it can be
qualified to be, yes. 

So while some people do not see problem with this, some others do, and
we should listen to their wishes. After a quick check, there is around
10 people out of 250 in the directory with obviously fake names ( cause
I think no one is called &quot;palm pre&quot; ).

Some people may have very good reasons to not wanting to give their real
name or email address. I know several companies where the manager is ok
to send stuff upstream, but do not the name of the company to be
mentioned ( for example some divisions of France Telecom do this and
there is also some rumors about Trolltech doing the same before Nokia
era ). 

Sometimes that's also a case of trying to collaborate with upstream
without disclosing informations to competitors ( already happened, but
apart the Joe Pillow case, I cannot remember a precise one ), or people
wanting to cover their track when doing free software from work place
with $BOSS knowing.

So yes, giving your name can be seen as a loss of privacy. And I think
the priority should be to finish the privacy policy document.
