Post in Joining a Group and Registering an Account Using the Web
Below (in editable SVG and viewable PDF) is a state transition diagram
of the registration process on the Web. It is the simplest view of
registration that I have managed to come up with and I have tried to
represent registration in many ways, including plain text and flow
charts.
A state-transition diagram shows the states that something can be in,
such as a user. Each arrow, which comes out of a state, represents an
action of some sort. In our case the actions are normally filling out
forms, but they can also be replying to an email message. I have hidden
some complexity around the steps involved with verification, but it is
mostly all there, unless Richard can see something that I have missed
Later I will add mock ups of the pages that the user will see in each
state.
