oh come on !

1. qgis doc says go on osgeo to get a login
2. osgeo says go on irc (wtf is it?)
3. irc asks to prove you're not a computer (osgeo couldn't do it directly?)
4. then you end up on a irc channel to ask for a mantra (wtf is it?)

I just gave it a try on irc.
5. I had to wait 6 minutes for Sandro to reply (thanks and sorry for the
trap) and....
6. he asked me to send him a mail and prove my interest to OSGEO....

I stopped the test here. Not mentionning the old wiki page pointing to a
404 error [0]

I wouldn't call this easy
It's either a nasty joke or the best way to have 0 issue reported by new
users.
