mentioned in issue #5 (closed)

mentioned in issue #6 (closed)

There are two case for distance evaluation request:

• when the last certification is sent, distance evaluation request can be added to a batch https://duniter.org/wiki/duniter-v2/runtime-calls/#request-distance-evaluation-for-4 request_distance_evaluation_for(target)
• when a user wants to renew his membership https://duniter.org/wiki/duniter-v2/runtime-calls/#request-distance-evaluation-0 request_distance_evaluation() there is an antispam on this, for the value, see #14 (closed)

After closing this one, #36 (closed) is a good follow-up

Distance evaluation for newcomer

A newcomer waiting for membership has the identity status Unvalidated. He has to meet these conditions:

• get at least 5 certifications
• meet the distance criteria

At this stage, it is sure that the newcomer wants to join the web of trust, so the membership request is implicit and anybody can "validate" the identity by calling request_distance_evaluation_for().

The user can also call request_distance_evaluation() for himself, but it should not be necessary since the last certifier can do it. However, the "request membership" button can still be displayed grayed out.

Distance evaluation for old member

An old member has to periodically renew his membership with the "renew membership" button. This button has to be highlighted when the membership expiry is close in time. But to renew his memberhsip, he must meet the distance criteria. That's why the call is not renew_membership but request_distance_evaluation() instead. If distance is evaluated positively, Duniter will renew the membership automatically.

Distance evaluation for ex member

An ex member of the wot can join again provided he meets the conditions:

• at least 5 certifications
• distance criteria

Once he meets these conditions, the call is not join_web_of_trust_again but simply request_distance_evaluation(). Duniter will reject this call if the certifications criteria is not met. And once distance is evaluated positively, the identity will become member again.
