Hi LouK,

Right, but I understood that naml is a way to promote nabble, anyways if you really want to hide it for normal users I'll tell you how(I want your opinion about this Greg :))

From a very personal point of view - I'm just an enthusiastic user with no authority to speak for Nabble at all - I reckon it does make sense to hide the "Edit this page" link from all but administrators, as it is only those to whom it has any interest on a live forum.

However, I do realise that if hidden from normal users, it would mean someone considering launching a forum for their site would need to create a dummy forum to realise how flexible a platform Nabble is, so there is an argument for Nabble wanting it retained for all.

Then again, Nabble's home page fails to mention NAML and how it makes Nabble applications so flexible, so I'd say it's a weak argument. (The closest you get is a "powered by" link that points you at external lower-level tools used by Nabble.) I also read that Nabble is on a path to move away from NAML and adopt an alternative language, so, on balance, I suspect that retaining the link need not be a priority.
