New user in Wales U.K.
Hello, Just starting to use the Open Office word and spreadsheet components. Could not be more pleased. Well done! It is an excellent product. I tried to make a donation and failed as I do not have a PayPal account, any suggestions for contributions from this part of the World? I do have an Amazon UK account. Best wishes DAVID JONES

Re: [proposal] manual create new user on upgraded wiki
to me it is a long term solution alternatives are: 1) open up, and get spam 2) use some of the spam measures, like e.g. cool off period = 4 days. The most efficient measure is a manual creation, and if I count correctly we talk about less than 10 new users in a month. Please feel free to suggest alternatives that avoid spam, and do not burden our administrators (opening up for spam is a high burden on sysop as well as others). Rgds Jan I.

Hello Jan, all. 10.12.2012 22:33, janI пишет: The most efficient measure is a manual creation, and if I count correctly we talk about less than 10 new users in a month. I think the manual registration for new wiki users is not good. We have created 12 new user accounts since 24 November. These users don't make any edit on the wiki. Maybe they can't edit the wiki pages or they can't login or can't change a temporary password? I don't know. One new user wrote me: now I can't edit wiki with my new account.

Re: [proposal] manual create new user on upgraded wiki
Some users think they need an account just to read, but that might not be the case with these users. Helen: you have the procedure in your head, could you not simulate a new user, and verify it works ? I have no problem with the old automated procedure, as long as sysop understand the risk of a new spam attack (which are higher then 98%, now they know we can be attacked). Jan I.

Re: [proposal] manual create new user on upgraded wiki
I've verified for the new account: Testaccount. The manual registration a new wiki user works fine: * Email with a random password has been sent. I received it normal. * When I first login as Testaccount with this password, Wiki offers me change the password and shows me the form for it. * The password is changed successfully, the login with the new password is successfully too, but with the second trying. First Wiki showed me LogOut page (http://wiki.openoffice.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogout) Probably, new users have some problems when Wiki not immediately shows the data of the user after login, but it can happen in case of any method of the registration. -- Regards, Helen 2012/12/10 janI j...@apache.org: Some users think they need an account just to read, but that might not be the case with these users.

Closest thing we have to registration is to invite the user to sign up to our announcement list and/or follow us on Facebook for future announcements,.
