---+ User Registration Process for the GNHLUG Wiki

---++ Do you need to register?

   * The __only__ reason to register in !TWiki is so you can edit this website
   * Registration is __not__ required to participate in GNHLUG
      * You can call yourself a GNHLUG member without registering here
      * You can go to meetings or events without registering here
      * You can read and post to mailing lists without registering here
   * Already registered?  You can:

      * [[TWiki.ResetPassword][Request a password reset]] if you forgot it

---++ Registration requirements

---+++ Registration is public

Registration is subject to the terms in our GNHLUG.LegalNotice.

In particular: Information you submit will be recorded and published on this wiki, including your name and [[TWikiMailAddr][email address]].  If you are not comfortable with that, please do not register.

---+++ !WikiName requirements

Your user login name on this site -- your TWiki.WikiName -- must be a TWiki.WikiWord.  That is:

   * It must begin with a capital letter
   * It must contain at least one other capital letter
   * It must contain at least one lowercase letter between two capital letters
   * It must contain only letters (A-Z and a-z) and digits (0, 1-9)

In short, it must look like this: =WikiWord=

---++ Registration instructions

As part of the user registration process, you will need to know the =register= password.  The username is =register= and the password is =granite= (both all lower case).  This is __not your own account password__.  This is a separate password, protecting the registration process itself.  This is the only time you will need to use the =register= password.  We get so many robo-spam registrations we had to put measures in place to stop them.

Now that you know that, you can proceed with the registration process:

   1. Navigate to the [[TWiki.TWikiRegistration][user registration form]]
   1. Fill in your name and e-mail address
   1. Fill in your desired password.  This is __your password__ (and __not__ the =register= password)
   1. Optionally, adjust your TWiki.WikiName if you dislike the default
   1. Optionally, fill in organization (company, school, etc.) and/or URL
   1. Click the "Submit" button
   1. When prompted for a username and password, enter the =register= password detailed above

After you submit the form and enter the =register= password, the system will:

   1. Register your account, so that you can login using your TWiki.WikiName
   1. Create your personal Topic page, using your !WikiName as the topic name
   1. Add your !WikiName to the list of users in the [[Main.TWikiUsers][Main.TWikiUsers]] topic
   1. Send you a confirmation e-mail about your registration

If you have any questions, please GNHLUG.ContactUs!
