So I did a test on using verified link with the website... works well. The plan will be anyone in the UFoI can register as a member and then have a verified link in their profile

See my profile for an example of me testing it out.

The working prototype right now works for admins only, yes.. but i will be adding something similar for users. The idea is every registered user will have a little page on the website that will have a "card" of their details (their status, whether they are an admin, on the counsel, just a user, etc)... so it will work for regular users soon.

@geantonicelli

Ok we now have support for the users too. We can add you if you want.

I just wrote a page that explains how, this will be a good chance to see if i did a good job writing it. Check out this and let me know if it makes sense:

What is the purpose of having individual members as well as instance admins?

The name implies the it’s the instances that are united (and not the users directly).

I think the idea that any user from a united instance can be elected is sound, but why should any individual potentially have a vote that weighs the same as an instance of thousands?

@jens

I dividuals outside the ufoi instances but members wouldnt get a vote. They simply pledge to the rules personally... its debatable if we want to support it at all but i figured it might be a way to gain more momentun and spread the word.
