I agree with Mel. I like to get the form filled out as quickly as possible and move on. I like the idea and hope we can find a place to use it I just don't think FAS is a good one.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Feb 26, 2010 at 8:49 PM, Justin O'Brien <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:three@threethirty.us">three@threethirty.us</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I had an idea of working it all into one page that would start off with<br>
FAS, subscribe you to the mailinglist, post your intro and then drop you<br>
off at the wiki to so that you could create a userpage.<br>
<br>
Would it be less of an issue for you if this became a one stop joining<br>
process.<br>
<br>
How about a link to do it the old way at the top?<br>
<br>
Just trying to keep the ball rolling I dont think we need to decide<br>
where it stops yet :)<br>
