I would like to contribute to the tracker and I have tried to register.
Since I don't have an Jabber account I would like to register via providing an email adress.

I have tried several times now to register, but after I give my details I never receive any confirmation code, so I do not get an account.

Is there any known issue or workaround?

Thanks a lot!
Eva

Eva...
You do not need Jabber ID, only the first 3 fields, marked with red border, are mandatory.

Pavel,
yes, I tried that several times over the last few days without success.

I entered username, name, email address, chose email as way of notification and then pushed the button to send a code.
It always looked ok on the website, confirming a code would be sent, but I never received any code.

And, yes, of course I have checked spam filter, nothing there...

Any idea?

[nohal]

Eva...
I have just created a flyspray testing account and the activation mail arrived in a few seconds. Maybe try some temporary e-mail service, like Temp Mail - Disposable Temporary - Anonymous Email and Free email service.

Pavel

[marathona]

Pavel,
that solved it. I tried several email addresses from different providers and one of them was accepted.
Thanks,
Eva

Serge,

If we look at the actual votes it doesn't look to me like there is much programming of features to do.

Just a few feature requests with more than 1 vote by the poster. The Users seem to be a pretty happy lot.

You are right Rick, 2/3 of features requests have up to 1 vote
