I see what you are saying. We were intending to add some informative text to the page on python.org which accesses the non-logged-in page on psfmember.org. But absent that, if you go directly to psfmember.org, it's indeed barren. I copied Steve's text from the logged-in page, less the button that initiates the signup process. Once the prospect logs in, it will see the same text, but with the button. Regarding collecting information, the personal data was only visible to the user and the administrator, though that's not obvious. There is really no pressing reason to collect Associate Member information (beyond email address), since the financial information is collected by the payment processor. I've reconfigured the system to only require first name and country, and modified the payment processing to key off the psfmember.org email instead of the paypal email. That way, the donation honor roll will only contain the data supplied during registration at psfmember.org. If it only supplies a first name, then that's what appears. Assuming it could make a financial transaction, of course. If the Associate Members want to add additional information to their profile, they can. You might try registering and check out the profile, it's pretty compete and allows the user quite a bit of control. -- KBK _______________________________________________ pydotorg-www mailing list pydotorg-www@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pydotorg-www
