When upgrading to the new server hardware I accidentally enabled account creation for a short while. Please read the "News" on the front page if you have not done so already. We are hopfully in the final testing phase before our first "Public" users add themselves to our project.

Also, thank you for testing that 'create account' worked correctly! Could you do me a favor, and post the email message that you got (remove your account ID and email information first, please!).
Cheers,
