[Foss4g2009] Website confusion

[Mark Leslie]

I would expect that few would even have a login before trying to submit. 
  Really it's the second submission that's going to be the problem.  But 
it sounds like we are going to try and avoid this mechanism for 
submissions if we can, so it's not worth much effort.
