[etoys-notify] [JIRA] Commented: (SQ-326) "Signup" in login box

Yoshiki Ohshima commented on SQ-326:
------------------------------------

Maybe you meant to write it to SQ-354, but sure, the browser approach is better than doing this in Squeak.  Launching one from Squeak is even desirable.  And, from Squeak or not, we do need a page on the server anyway so it wouldn't change the work load much (I felt there may be more work but not necessarily).

But still I'd prefer to have a really usable working Showcase in the release where people needs to sign up by opening the page manually (and that sign up page can come later than the release, actually) rather than not very well functioning showcase, with not very well functioning sign up page.

> Password Again
> First Name
> Last Name
> Email
