It is rather simple, I agree.<div><br></div><div>Jane, Otto, etc. I was asking why we force people to register on <a href="http://wp.org">wp.org</a> instead of on the codex. Is <a href="http://wp.org">wp.org</a> more restrictive?<br>

</div>I have the new codex logins working, actually. It is a rather simple<br>
MediaWiki plugin. The upgrade to the support forums did set me back a<br>
bit as I had to rework the code to handle the new password hashing<br>
mechanisms.<br>
<br>
I'll install it as soon as I get the unified cookie system working, so<br>
that logging into one place will log you into all of them. :)<br>
