But we have no actual way to make it “really easy for people to sign up” and be automatically provided with an account and we have no prospect of being able to solve this technological issue in the near term.
As I explained on the governance thread, we could create a sign-up form linked to a payment system like Open Collective, PayPal, Stripe of whatever and:
This doesn’t scale and if we have a dozen admins from different organisations creating and managing accounts on two or more Greenlight containers and having to manually move accounts between containers when service levels change, having to manually delete accounts when the monthly payment doesn’t come though and so on and so forth we are creating a administrative nightmare for ourselves. I’m strongly of the view that we shouldn’t do this unless we can start automating things, however I do think it would be fine for Webarchitects and other co-ops to have one or more containers each and for them to manage it for their clients manually.
