hi steven, thanks for this proposal. what i trap into consistently since years is not beeing logged in, when i want to. i'd really appreaciate if this is shown clearly, on all wiki's. i never can remember which ones indicate it and which ones not. mediawiki.org indicates it, btw ... and i was trying to comment there not logged in :)
for the password policy: display a strength indicator is great. anything more? i would say just leave it to the user. rupert.
