For people who are part of the community already, this isn't an issue, but I do believe that this raises the barrier to entry for newcomers. As a data point, _I_ wouldn't bother requesting an invite. Not that I am anything but a very, very sleepy lurker here, but I suppose that's my point - I won't get more engaged if I have to sign up for anything. For many open source projects, if I can't quickly get in touch with developers without having to sign up for anything, I'll simply not reach out, won't report issues nor participate in the community. -Jan, going back to sleepy lurker mode in 3... 2... 1...
