Hi, Andra,<br>
<br>
thanks for uploading the videos that quickly. That is a really wonderful job.<br>
<br>
One question though regarding accessing the videos. I understand the<br>
need to have as many registered users as possible, but is it really so<br>
necessary to put a registration wall for videos? I understand it is<br>
necessary to make life harder for spammers if I want to post a comment<br>
(I can write junk to chat without logging in, so there must be another<br>
reason). But for anonymous video watching? That is out of my<br>
understanding.<br>
<br>
I visited the website to have a quick look at what's available.<br>
Requires registration. Ok. Email confirmation. OK. Fifteen minutes,<br>
yet no email received. Cannot see the videos because it requires<br>
registration which requires an email validation and the email<br>
validation service does send me the bloody email.<br>
<br>
Today morning in the keynote Dave Thomas stressed that it is paramount<br>
to reduce entry curve for new Erlang users. Is this the message we<br>
want to send for one? See some interesting free stuff about Erlang,<br>
registration is required, which does not actually work, please come<br>
back later?<br>
<br>
Because of the reasons above I would suggest and appreciate<br>
registration requirement waived for read-only activities on<br>
erlangcentral.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Motiejus Jakštys<br>
