Maybe even auto-generate the Short Name if the field is empty when
Name
is entered? Turn "Ed Jones" into "edjones", etc.?
It's already in the design document, at the bottom of page 3:
"The tool then generates a Unix username from the full name and prefills
the Short Name field. There was some idea to define a set of rules for
this (e.g. Matthias Clasen→mclasen or Jon McCann→jonm) and update the
currently used rule based on the corrections that are made to the
pregenerated username."
