  • When we do the import we could add the {{Imported}} template to those pages to show that they have been brought in from moin and probably need some editing. I've created that template - see User:MorganCollett/Test imported template for an example. --MorganCollett 08:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Create account page table needs aligning - I think the left column needs to be top-aligned, so "Email:" is on the same line as the input field. --MorganCollett 20:06, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Email address confirmation is from "jonathan@ubuntu.com" - Change to some sysadminy type address... --MorganCollett 20:06, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
