[Qgis-user] OSGeo Account

[Richard McDonnell]

Morning all!,
There are CAPTCHA's when signing up, but the Mantra thing is to try and 
screen people who want access. I only recently signed up myself, I 
understand the reasons, but I think the current method is a little clunky.
Do we need people to be signed up, could we not integrate bug reporting 
into QGIS itself somehow. At least that way the person at least has a 
copy of QGIS.
I am no programmer, but I assume it would be easy enough to QT a form to 
populate the standard Bug report Form No?.
Another option would be software authentication, maybe It is time for 
QGIS to have software/user authentication, an automated licence 
generator (link PC, QGIS and User), The licence could be tagged along 
with any bug reports, You could still have guest users for the casual, 
but as a regular user (those of us most likely to go to the trouble of 
reporting bugs) It would make Bug reporting easier.
Just a thought!!
Regards,

Richard
