I think front desk will be prepared to handle day visitors with
lesser administrative effort on-site. If Nattie could confirm this,
then we should probably amend the PR just a bit in this direction.
Since you brought up the subject — and I think you have good points:
I agree with you that the whole Alioth dance is way more trouble
than I find it worth, and I hope next year, we'll find a better
solution. SSO is great of course, but IMHO we should/could
- also allow users to create quick accounts right there, or even
offer the use of Twitter, G+, FB etc. as auth-providers
- completely detach all registration data from authentication and
allow one authenticated user to create multiple registrations,
e.g. for their family members of co-workers, or well, for
front-desk to register day visitors.
