I was having a look at "most wanted page". But links requires to have an
account. Is there a way to register a new account directly on the
site ?

Exact. I suggest to add an index of them somewhere, it is pretty useful

(I have seen some other posts ;-) May the others subscribers prefer to
see how the debate and things are going on for the moment. I hope they
will enter in the arena, additional opinions are needed !)

With the actual project progression, it would be a great benefit.
Really. Mono is capable of running "enterprise-class applications"
especially ASP.NET web-applications, demonstrating that directly with
mono-project.net website will score points and give an amazing good
first-impression.

It seems the "wanted documentation" section is reserved to registered
users. How can I create a user account on the site ? The form allows  to
login only (may I missed something). Should I register on Novell Forge
or should I ask to someone ?
