- New How to sign up for an account screencast: from Kasey and TedErnst (talk) 12:09, 28 February 2008 (PST)
- I love both this screencast and the one about the benefits of logging in. One question on this one, it looks like the realname field was skipped? - Ray | talk
- Yes, the RealName field has no effect on our site. I anticipate un re-doing this screencast once dev has fixed our signup screen. I felt it would simple confuse the issue to have a username and a RealName when we're asking people to sign in with their name. -- TedErnst (talk)

- At Edge.org, Kevin Kelly says some great stuff: It's the Wiki's embedded code-based governance, versus manager-based governance that is the real news.
