have users submit bugs easily AND have no spam. In case
it wasnt clear above, my proposal above advocates
ditching mantras in favour of a 'normal' sign up
process but the process has to happen through a QGIS
browser agent. I reckon that is a pretty low friction
approach. </div>

Nathan;s comment about GitHub, while I am +1 about
using github as an option to sign in, my experience is
that signing up for github is just as obscure for
'normal' users as a mantra, so if we are going to make
users sign up for one more thing, <a
href="http://hub.qgis.org" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">hub.qgis.org</a> should be that
thing.... In summary my preference is:</div>
<div class="gmail_default"
style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default"
style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">*
Make it convenient for *everyone* to file tickets</div>
<div class="gmail_default"
style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">*
Kill the mantra - it is the most un-user friendly
experience we could give people <br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default"
style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">*
Make the initial sign up happen through a browser
embedded in QGIS to prevent spammers. Within that sign
up:<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default"
style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">
* Support github authentication if we can to make it
easy for geeks</div>
<div class="gmail_default"
style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">
* Support sign up through local user database in
redmine still</div>

Thanks Tim,<br>
I have the same preferences,<br>
<br>
Having a painless option to signup through QGIS itself and thus make
it less spam-prone sounds great.<br>
<br>
We probably still need a "classic" signup way through webpages for
the "I can't signup because my QGIS crashes on start scenario" and
that would be solved by the github, other oAuth or osgeo login.<br>
