Agreed - we have been talking about that during the Zuerich HF.
Of course someone will object, but if we leave a clear and free choice there should
be no problem (think to Debian popcon for instance), and it will be very useful to
understand our user base.
One additional feautre would be to allow registered users to upload styles and SVGs,
possibly also (optionally) autoregister as osgeo user, to be able to open tickets.
Could you please open a feature request for this, so we'll remember your detailed specs?
Even better if you can start coding straight away, of course ;)
All the best.
