First rough options proposal: * for the captcha - simply drop it: either use a CSS-hidden honeypot field, compute the time taken to fill in and submit the form (if it's under a few seconds, it's likely a script), or make a second confirmation step page with optional additional info, - keep it, explain it and: use a simple task: test math operation or other random question related to Mageia, or uncheck a box with a instruction, - or use a combination of the above * for the order of inputs, use email, firstname/lastname, user name, +preferred language * inputs roles: - email => used how, published where? - firstname/lastname => realname, published where? - username/uid - preferred language * validate inputs in Javascript first, so the user can have an immediate feedback whether email or uid are already used or not, valid or not.

Things to think about and update: > > - captcha: it's brutal, not explained and hard to read > - inputs order should be revised to be more natural > - inputs roles should be explained: what's the email to be used for? where > will real name appear? what's the uid user for? why a captcha? IMHO both the captcha and the input order are fine. About the input validation, I didn't get a message about a wrong user name (a user name with a digit at the beginning is not accepted) before pressing "Register", but to me that doesn't look like a big problem. There is still no explanation about whether any of the information that is entered will be made public. Nor about what is is used for. Reassigning to sysadmin team, because to the best of my knowledge, no one in Atelier Team can fix this. Keywords:
