OSGeo User registration

(not yet valid for Wiki registration: see below)

The main entry point for OSGeo users (SVN write access, Drupal editing etc) is the registration form: 

https://www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/ldap_create_user.py

NOTE: as of June 2016 the public user registration form may require entering a "mantra" (a pseudo-secret passphrase) - already registered trusted users can find out what the mantra is and how to share on https://git.osgeo.org/gogs/sac/userid-mantra/wiki (requires login and access grant, otherwise the page will appear as 404).

Wiki User registration

After registration on the Wiki, a moderator needs to manually approve the registration due to the huge spam burden. This may take some days, sorry about that.

Note: the Wiki registration is not yet connected to LDAP.
