Bug 1172618

There are many projects that would really welcome such feature.

I'm the maintainer of Initial Setup and python-meh, both of which will also use Zanata for translation in the near future, so I would also appreciate anonymous pull support in Zanata, so that users/potential-contributors could build these two applications more easily (without the need to register somewhere).

Notes from our estimation:

- Only for pull source and translation, stats (project level and contributor level).
- Rate limiting by IP
  - Verify it works with direct jboss, Apache, nginx type setups

+1 from a user stand point. 

I'm currently trying to build anaconda from git and don't even have an account with Transifex or Zanata.

This is a huge workflow issue right now.  Can the priority be increased on this functionality?  The functionality right now requires any contributors to our projects to also set up a Zanata account just to do local test builds of projects.  This is because our build process pulls down the latest translations at build time, which then feeds in to the images that are built.

This was a limitation in Transifex too, it would be nice to not also have the same limitation in Zanata.

Thanks everyone for your comments. As I see increased demand for this feature, I am moving this RFE to high priority in our backlog.

Security implementation for Zanata server:

| Client          | Authenticated | Allowed action(Server) |
------------------------------------------------------------
| have zanata.ini | Yes           | READ/WRITE             | 
| have zanata.ini | No            | READ                   |
| no zanata.ini   | No            | READ                   |
------------------------------------------------------------

Updated: Security implementation for Zanata server:

| Client             | Authenticated | Allowed action(Server) |
---------------------------------------------------------------
| username/apiKey    | Yes           | READ/WRITE             | 
| username/apiKey    | No            | REJECT                 |
| no username/apikey | No            | READ                   |
---------------------------------------------------------------

Note that client also need to modify to delegate the check to server.

Please remember that we (Anaconda team) are using zanata-python-client in our build scripts. This applies to Fedora as well as RHEL6 and RHEL7.

This feature involve changes in Zanata-server as well as supported zanata-client (see http://zanata.org/help/cli/cli-install/ for supported client).

However, we are in the progress of bringing our python client up to scratch but unfortunately it's not part of this development.

But as current Zanata user that has authentication, you still can use zanata-python-client to do translation pull from our server.

We will track changes of python client for anonymous pull as separate bug.
