Description

Status Quo:
User registers and is notified by the browser interface that his request is awaiting approval by administrator.
We see this method as flawed. In the past week or 2, from 100 registered users, 5 gave a wrong email-adress, either intentionaly or through a typo. That clogs up the server with hundreds of bouncing mails per user. All we can do is to lock the account to stop the spam and wait for the respective user to maybe show up on IRC or for the user to contact us because he cannot log in. All this is extra work not related to the cause of our project.

Possible solution:
User registers and is notified by the browser interface to check his email acccount for mail with a confirmation link. So system and user know if the given email adress is a valid one.

Issue list now supports bulk edit/move/delete (#563, #607). For now, issues from different projects can not be bulk edited/moved/deleted at once.

There are 2 ways to select a set of issues on the issue list:
  • by using checkbox and/or the little pencil that will select/unselect all issues (#567)
  • by clicking on the rows (but not on the links), Ctrl and Shift keys can be used to select multiple issues

Context menu was disabled on links so that the default context menu of the browser is displayed when right-clicking on a link (#545).
All this was tested with Firefox 2, IE 6/7, Opera 8 (use Alt+Click instead of Right-click) and Safari 2/3.

Let me clarify this a bit:
We first tried the method to have user accounts be enabled automaticaly by mail. This method is problematic because the account is enabled without being connected to any project (we have 1 project and 9 subprojects at the moment). As, with this method, we get no feedback that a new user got registered, we cant react to this and permit him to certain projects with certain rights.
So, we had to resort to the manual method for now with the above stated problems.
