I have added the prototype registration page to this group
http://groupserver.org/groups/development/register_prototype
Functionally, the form consists of a single text-entry and a button, *exactly*
the same as the reset password page
http://groupserver.org/r/topic/70IrnZed1jJOlYSENtobkb
(In the implementation, both forms are effectively defined by the same schema.)
There are conflicting demands on the page:
* Tell the user what is going on, and
* Be brief.
The wording is curt, but I feel that is better than writing too much.
After the introductory text is the disclosure buttons for the terms of use and
the privacy policy. I need to refactor the way the T&C is stored on
OnlineGroups.Net, to allow AJAX to retrieve the document; the prototype
currently uses a page from the user-guide. Other implementations of GroupServer
will have their own way of introducing the terms and conditions, but I thought
I would show the OnlineGroups.Net method, because I think it will be very
useful and usable.
The email-address entry has the same styling issues as the password-reset page.

Just before the Register button is a plea to the user to add the verification
email-address to his or her address book. I hope this will mitigate the problem
of messages falling into the clutches of the spam filters.
Anyone see any problems with the page as it stands?
