    MSavoritias (fae,ve), joke or not, more xmpp & less browser = good :)

  2. MSavoritias (fae,ve)

    True. :D

    I can create a separte page with more details on account creation if that helps. Always open for feedback, we often just keep doing stuff like we have always been doing it ;-) We link to the sysops page because I think only those admins have the permission to the special page "create account" which allows to crerate new accounts with a temp random password.

  4. Alex

    Sysopts also sounds confusing, maybe we should name the page "request account" or smth similar

  5. MSavoritias (fae,ve)

    Sounds better to me

  6. Ge0rG

    Yeah, it's a historically grown name. Also it's surprising how many people fail to follow the instructions on what data to provide.

  7. Ge0rG

    Integrating mediawiki with xmpp would be great, but probably not worth the effort

Possibly we upgrade xmpp.org towards this. more likely people show up here

  9. MSavoritias (fae,ve)

    That could be ideal yeah. From what i can see stuff is already split between website and wiki.

    Members for example

    Ge0rG: we planned a XEP-0070 integration with Link Mauve eons ago but it means writing PHP in mediawiki so...

  12. Ge0rG

    RiiR?

  13. Link Mauve

    We also started working on that with pep. once, but I was still living in the UK at that time.

  14. mjk

    so... PHP and UK's climate at fault

  15. Link Mauve

    UK’s work I’d say.

  16. Link Mauve

    The climate was lovely there. :)

  17. singpolyma

    Link Mauve: always raining? ;)

  18. Link Mauve

    Even the “super hot days” were actually bearable, unlike here.

  19. Link Mauve

    singpolyma, nah, that’s a myth, at least in Cambridge.

  20. Link Mauve

    There were more days of light drizzle, but it never bothered me when I was cycling, unlike the stronger rain we have here.
