Add two optional fields to the new account creation page that would allow users to enter their GitHub ID and/or their ORCID iD.

See ncbo/ontologies_linked_data#160 for a more detailed explanation of why these fields are necessary. Attribution of ontology change requests issued from BioPortal is a highly desirable feature for ontology curators.

After further research, best practice in UX design calls for as few fields as possible on account creation pages for the best conversion rates. The fields for adding / editing GitHub usernames and ORCID iDs have been placed on the edit account page instead. End users can follow these steps to add this data in BioPortal:

  1. Register for an account
  2. Once logged in, navigate to the Account Settings page (accessible from a menu in the top-right)
  3. Click the "Edit account" button
  4. On the resulting form, optionally add a GitHub username and/or ORCID iD
  5. Click the Update button to save the changes

This functionality was implemented as part of pull request #321, and available in the production environment as of the 6.18.0 release.
