Dear all, I've been mulling over the question of when it's a good thing to enable or oblige people to log in to do things on museum websites - and why it's not seen in that many places. It led me to write a set of posts about what stops registration/login working for users and organisations, about the sort of things that it could be good for, a radical (preposterous?) way to make it better, and some speculation on how to build more value on top for all parties. If you've got the stomach, the pontification starts here: http://bit.ly/mupport0. I was hoping to recruit your assistance in a quick survey to support these posts. If you work on a museum site, I'd love it if you could take a few minutes to let me know whether your site has any registration-dependent functionality, and what it is. There are other questions but that's the heart of it so it won't take long! It's here: http://bit.ly/aGDcn7 That's it. Thanks!
