Comment:

 We require you to register for and log in to Trac to prevent spam. It's
 the same reason we require you to subscribe to our mailing lists before
 you can post to them. Requiring you to register also ensures we have your
 valid email address, which is essential so that we can contact you with
 follow questions or suggestions. So I don't think it would be wise to
 allow anonymous submissions. And if you're ok with providing your email
 address and verifying it, well then that's exactly what the existing
 registration process does.

 Yes we could perhaps adjust the appearance of the login page so that the
 registration link is more prominent (e.g. adding text like "Not
 registered? Register here" with an appropriate link, near the login form).
 I'm not certain to what extent the Trac software that we use allows us to
 customize that. I'm Cc'ing our server administrator who is the only one
 with access to adjust the Trac installation.

 The new ticket page already has in large red letters at the top of the
 page the words "Please read the Ticket Guidelines before submitting" which
 are a link to the relevant section in our guide. Bill, it might be clearer
 that this is a link if you would adjust the CSS formatting so that the
 linked portion is underlined.
