[#2] Registration #1

OAuth is great, but don't you think registration should be initiated by an admin or officer, maybe even by another member? Possibly even displaying an invitation relationship in their profile (Invited by foo). Preferably, there should be some trust among members that others have been "screened" and are trustworthy individuals. I would love to feel free to loan an expensive tool to anyone that asks, knowing that it's safe, and without having to ask around the group if anyone knows x person. I think exclusivity/selectivity is the only way to ensure that. |
The intention is that the moderator would white list registrants based on real world knowledge of the registrant. The alternative is to require the moderator to "invite" every individual to the site who wants to use it. Personally, I'd rather get a notification when someone registers and then allow them into the site if that trust relationship is there. |
The invitation only model appears to be favored for legal reasons, and the "customer" doesn't mind being the bottleneck. |

As a newly invited member of the site,
I want to be able to register for the site using my OAuth provider,
So that I can contribute and benefit from the information in the site without having to remember another login.
