Logging in should be easier

[liamwooding]

Our current login process is a bit of a kludge, and requires commenting out code to perform the first login after a fresh install (because it checks your twitter handle against existing users, that you can't add until you're logged in). Some of our jailmates don't have Twitter and don't want it, so some kind of user/pass login would be nice.

I propose a dedicated login page with options for Twitter & email login. Our original idea was that new users would be brought onboard by existing ones, but perhaps we should switch it around and let anyone sign up pending approval by an existing user.

565fe1f gives clients the ability to create a user and log in with username/password iff there are no Twitter users registered, so you can add a base user. Still has to be from the console.

Standard password login is an open issue that I've had conflicting messages on, so we should address when we're next all in Jail.

Hmm - I think the everyone-has-twitter-anyway view is a bit dev-centric, but yeah we should all discuss soon

[richsilv]

Agreed, fwiw.
