I just can agree with Didier on that one.

One of the big thread right now (at least in North America...) is Single Sign-On (SSO).

People can't remember more than 5 passwords so they write them on post-it everywhere or use the same for email, bank account and so on. You can't blame them. Education is a nice approach...in your dream.

Even for typo3.org I have dual account and it feel awkward.

For me double identity can't be a good thing.

If TYPO3 try to become a Learning Management System (LMS) with all those students that help a teacher build his content and are also FE users for other courses it will be double-identity partytime...
