This may be an unusual response to an account request but I would not advise giving an account to Stan at this point in time, for the following reasons. 1. His main reasons for wanting an account is because he "lost" changes made in the OE as an anonymous user, and because having an account means his name will be "attached" to his contributions. 2. He has shown a sharp lack of regard for the processes involved and refuses to follow instructions unless pressed. 3. He has, thus far, no patches to show any basic level of competence in documentation writing. 4. He appears to back down from even the smallest obstacle (filing in the account request form took many attempts over time), which does not bode well for working with SVN/Git (which he has already shown a lack of desire to set up to provide patches) or learning the ins and outs of authoring the documentation. I must say, at this stage, that Stan does show a desire to improve the documentation and has mentioned several places where he would like to improve things. However, he seems overly focussed on getting an account rather than actually getting some patches committed; and has actively refused to submit patches. Oh, and he didn't mention liking kittens in the account request. My suggestion would be to keep the account request on hold until such a time as we are more confident in his ability and willingness to contribute in a positive manner within the project.
