Description
Space currently does not give users who aren't already registered a way in. Anon users can see some of the spaces but when they try to apply for membership, they hit a login page, which they can't complete as they are not registered.
- RTFM for OA as to OA best practice - this is billable time. Then leave notes about it in wiki for later developers.
- The homepage needs editing to sort this out. Here are some first changes:
2.1. Remove the 'Need the pros' pane (RHS)
2.2 Remove the 'Just getting started' pane (LHS)
2.3 Add a 'Request membership' pane which is basically a user registration form. Make registration 'approval only' for now, approval to be by a site admin (webproject@…)
The /spaces listings view shows the spaces that are publicly viewable, and there is a 'request group membership' button for each of them.
- Can you make this into a registration form as well?

Hi the first paragraph of the ticket is about the usability for unregistered users.
It looks like I could enable user registration, but ensure admin approval of new registrations here: https://space.transitionnetwork.org/admin/config/people/accounts
This would improve usability for a low admin overhead?
I'll have a look at the 2.XX parts now..
Thanks
Sam
I'm postponing this work on behalf of Ed since the landscape has changed with my 'departure'...
I'll pass this to Sam to glance at, pending a chat with Ed when he gets back. It's primarily Panopoly/Panels? tweaks to the displays -- some will need to be edited/overridden, and some will need to be replaced. I'm sure there's an 'OA tweaking guide' somewhere.
