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

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.

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

Sounds better to me

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

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

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...

RiiR?

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

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

UK’s work I’d say.

The climate was lovely there. :)

Link Mauve: always raining? ;)

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

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

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