I agree. I'll set something up along those lines today if I can.
Peter Fox just suggested it as well. ... should have thought of that...
In fact, since I have your ear, so to speak, here's what I was
planning on doing.
* Until a group reaches the magic quorum, people add their names
next to the name of the group they are interested in.
* Once a Group reaches the quorum, we make a page for it and move
the names and whatever else there.
* Doing this means the people will need an account on the wiki
(which all of the workshop people have, but that doesn't do any good
for others). In other words, all this is done with web page edits.
* Add a little blurb describing this to the page
John: I agree it's bogus (literally) to have the log in page also say
'create account' when I've disabled the create account feature for
all but a few people. I had problems with the old wiki where people
were creating accounts for all sorts of nefarious reasons having
nothing to do with opendap (or even software in general) and I wound
up deleting about one a day. It got old. I'm open to going back to
the old way of allowing open access, but I need a plan that's better
than the old way. Until we come up with a better plan I will try to
remove the 'create account' label.
Let me know what you think about this.
