On my checkout (CMF.buildout) the properties are set:

fuchsia:browser charlieclark$ svn propget svn:eol-style utils.py
native
fuchsia:browser charlieclark$ svn propget svn:keywords utils.py
Id

I don't see this as policy but a necessity for proper skin support. If the  
join form has an action for the preferences, then change_password should  
be an action. I'm thinking of this in removing hard-coded urls from  
templates where possible. The _setRedirect() method you wrote for forms is  
a good example of the power of actions.

 From a policy point of view: changing passwords is probably of greater use  
than changing the other settings. But you're right, there's little to be  
gained from a discussion of this. FWIW I never really understood the  
"portal" mania and I disable joining on all my sites. But I will add  
change_password to user actions.

Sorry: "Your Member folder will still be publicly accessible unless you  
change its security settings."

If we're linking to other forms like change_password then we should do the  
same here. This has to be local_roles form for the member's folder, hasn't  
it? Although I don't see how you can hide your folder there.
