I'm not exactly sure what you mean here (please explain) but am unsure
how exactly our php.net accounts would interface with a system like
transifex, like if we'd also have users with only access to transifex.
This topic is part of the research process.
I don't see a problem with the theory behind the current registration
system which is:
- If people have work to contribute, they are given account
- If people want an account, they first have work to contribute
- Doing work does not require an account, but leads to one
- People introduce themselves into the community before being given
an account
How exactly this is managed could likely be improved but there are
plenty of people out there who simply want, for example, a @php.net
address without doing anything except ask for it. And gaining commit
access without showing capacity to commit decent work or be involved
with the community doesn't feel right. Not that anyone is suggesting
that, but it's something the current system deals with.
All ideas and thoughts are welcome and up for discussion although this
is getting a bit off topic for this thread.
Regards,
Philip
