Also, the current live registration page on os.org is translated into Japanese and Chinese, but with this new application I hope the community will be able to help get the user-facing pages translated to a dozen or so languages. > http://auth.opensolaris.org/auth/edit.action > > 1.

The reason I ask is that we often run registration programs around the world at various events (get a free server at Tech Days, etc) and we set up computers for people to register on site, but they don´t necessarily have access to their email to confirm until they get home later on. In places like East Asia (China, Japan, Korea) it´s not as common to bring your laptop to conferences like it is in the the US and Europe. > Login > ----- > > http://auth.opensolaris.org/auth/login.action > > 1. A valid username and password is required. > The log in screen says ¨Member name¨ and not ¨username¨. Any reason for that? I´d suggest using Username instead of Member name since ¨Member¨ is a governance term with specific meaning and may cause confusion. Same issue with Member name in other pages. On the registration page: I seem to remember some red ¨required field¨ notices next to some fields while registering using my Sun Ray at work (probably have Firefox 2x there), but I don´t see them with FF3/OpenSolaris now unless I enter incorrect info or leave out obviously required fields.
