Obfuscate IP numbers in the logfiles
Currently in the log files the IP address and access time of any user accessing the wiki is saved. Note this applies not only to those editing in the wiki—where logging is quite sensible–, but also to all those only visiting the wiki–where logging the IP is without any use. It might be, however, desired to save the IP addresses of visitors for, say, 24 hours, in order to have a prove in case of network abuse (think DOS attacks).
Make an option to:
- switch off logging the IP addresses in the access log (not: edit log), or to
make the IP addresses in the access log (not: edit log) anonymous, e.g. by saving only the fist 3 triples (i.e. 192.168.178.XXX instead of 192.168.178.100), or to
- automatically make the IP addresses in the access log (not: edit log) anonymous after a given time (e.g. 24 hrs), or to
- automatically delete the IP addresses in the access log (not: edit log) after a given time (e.g. 24 hrs),
where b) could be the default.

Not time based, but if you need IP addr privacy, this is implemented by http://hg.moinmo.in/moin/1.8/rev/ea2aa935fbde
