Me either. In my plan login under single name will be only, lets say, 
for about 1 months until everyone will create their account themselves. 
Then it will be deleted.

Hmmm...populating it with existing single username have some advantages. 
This existing user and password is known for every translator so he can 
login and create account with his login and his data (first name, last 
name, email, password). Then after some time the single username will be 
deleted. From then every translator who like to have account will have 
to ask one of the existing translators to add him.

In your concept we are back with chief translator - in this case it is 
person who is creating users belonging to his group. Is this necessary? 
Why can not every member of group have possibility to create account?

So active chief translator can be inactive after while. In my concept 
every translator has its own account and is belonging to proper group 
and every translator has equal rights - that means every translator can 
create as much account belonging to his group as he wants. No chief 
translator is needed.
Just look that after a year from TER2 there has been no real problem 
with no chief translator and only one login existing (or maybe there was 
problem but not in my translator group?). The only real problem caused 
by one login is lack of translators list that will allow proper 
communication.

I strongly ask you to think over my concept once again :) In my concept 
there is no need for chief translator and no one have to be online to 
create users.
And the result is the same in you concept and mine - the list of 
translators with theirs emails.


I think the real question here is: does we need chief translator or not?
I think that just for adding new users there is no need for chief trans.

Chief translator would be needed only if we would like to rebuild the 
workflow that was in TER 1.0. (where chief was accepting all 
translations before they were published)
