Description Chris Mills 2012-10-03 09:35:10 UTC 
I have had a number of people complain that they tried to create a new WPD account, but when they went to the page specified on the mail, they couldn't find out how to do so.

The mail said

"If you have not already done so, go to http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki to create your account."

But there is no mention anywhere there. Did we have it on there at some point, but then delete the info? Following the login link doesn't get you to any info about creating an account either.

There is a login link at the top of the page.
The only thing that is problematic right now is that we need a better solution than the secret word that is being used now for launch.

Thank for resolving - yeah, Doug said in the go/no go meeting last night that he has removed the feature, and then since put it back in, so no problem there.
