[xwiki-devs] [proposal] change the welcome message on the registration page.
The registration page currently has message which doesn't reflect the default settings for XE. "Welcome to the registration form. This will allow you to edit pages, once the admin gives you appropriate rights." "Welcome to the registration form." is (IMO) redundant, most people are not excited to be at a registration form and it doesn't convey any real information. "This will allow you to edit pages, once the admin gives you appropriate rights." does not reflect the default settings with XE. This message can be changed from the administration interface as can the settings so IMO the default message should reflect the default settings. I propose: "Sign up here so you can edit pages and participate in the wiki." Short, to the point, and doesn't dwell on the act of registration which is really only a means to an end. WDYT? Caleb

+1 for removing this.

+1. IMHO, all messages starting with "Welcome to" should disappear. On Mon, Mar 21, 2011 at 6:03 PM, Caleb James DeLisle <[email protected]> wrote:
