Makes sense.  Might be good to throw some content about that process on the
Create account page though.  Maybe a link to a "how to Contribute Content to
the mono project web site" page or something like that.   Right now it just
re-displays the login page making it seem broken.

Yes, this is by design -- miguel wants to approve all contributors before
giving them an account.  This is probably to hold down potential Wiki
"spam," prevent modifications by those hostile to mono, etc...

(Actually, anyone who already has an account can create new accounts, so
you're not really tied to getting approval from miguel, just any existing
account holder.)
