I can testify that it is a barrier to contribution.  I promised
almost a year ago to have a go at the KeyKOS entry in Widipedia.  I
kind of think that if I make major contributions, I should do it
under some stable name, which means an account.  On the other hand,
I haven't set up an account for reasons that aren't justifiable, or
even admitting to description, although I assure you they are quite
real.

Cheers - Bill
