• Action item: PeterThoeny: Explain why there is a need for a registration on twiki.org. I do not want to change anything. But we have to give reasons why a registration is needed. (see this: Screenshot, Video)
  • Note that the registration screen topic is quite unstructured. Can we trim this down to a) Why register (listing benefits) and b) Registration help and c) Troubleshooting ? Perhaps using a 3 column layout. -- ArthurClemens - 27 Jul 2008
