Each and every website connected to fdora project uses different
terminology furthermore different authentication system. I.e. I wanted to
join to the design team at the link
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_Design_Team
As suggested I had to subscribed to the mailing list, however when i
registered it turned out that the link at the above page points to some
old version of the mailman system where I had to create a subscription. So
it didn't work. Then I found out the sudden blue a different link where I
could register with mozilla persona login that is third one given the fact
that I had to create a fedora account as well as suggested on the join
page.
I also checked and in the websites group page at the join to mailing list
section the link is wrong as well. here
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites/Join
So my original plan was to join to the design team, however now i have to
keep in mind 4 different login credentials, and at each page there is a
different naming structure. E.g. to submit this bug report i was asked for
an open id which turned out to be equivalent with my fedora account, but
with FAS account cannot access the same subscription I did with persona
at the mailing list.
My brief suggestion was to try to consolidate all these websites and
services and use a single type of authentication service, that is call the
same at each and every websites.
Eg. now i have different credentials for fedora account, to the wiki site,
to the mailing list where my suggestion was to use only the
fedora account that was valid to everywhere.
thanks,
Karoly
