I don't think that keeping it deliberating confusing is a good thing.
If we have usability issues with the wiki we need to fix that. The
problem of ensuring that the system is not compromised should be
satisifed by other means. The longer term goal is to make the CLA a
click through process.
Re-apply and follow the instructions at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/AccountSystem/CLAHowTo
which is supposed to be the "to the point" link. After you get edit
access post to fedora-websites list and we can work out where we need
to simplify it.

I'm currently in the process of doing so... I take it that (according to
the instructions) the Wiki account and the Fedora Accounts account are
different from one another? 'Cause I feel kind of lost at this point in
the instructions where I should apply for a Fedora account and then sign
the the CLA (got there *after* I created a wiki account, so I take it
they're different)
