Hi webwarrior (or whatever your name now is ;) There is always room for improvements - even for better guidance on how to become a contributor. There are good reasons to do things the way they are done now - and yes some of them are not optimal because of history or because of sparse time. Lamenting partially anonymous from the outside is neither useful nor polite. Working as a real member/part of the community on the other side can help us all to move forward step by step with a better open source project.
If you or any other is really interested in moving with us the registration or signature for sure will not be the show stopper. >Either we skip this stupid formality and continue working on the code, or >I'm out of this. As Stef explained this was not done to bug people or keep them away. We know that it might be cumbersome at first sight - but hey, many people mastered this easily. I guess we even have people who do not drink beer but wine instead :) You can decide on your own how to proceed. Turn away or return. I guess there is only one big hurdle and this one is on your side ;) As you see friendly people continue to invest their time answering your mails although you as the author not even have the time (or will) to reveal your name. IMHO if someone wants to participate in an open source project he has to be "open" on its own side first. It's up to you... Thanks T.
