Some quick questions:

Anyone have code to generate a reasonable password randomly?  I feel that
assigning random garbage as initial passwords is just going to result in
people not using them.

When a user registers, they get a welcome message that the site owner
chooses, which includes password information.  When they join a list they
get a welcome message that the list owner chooses which tells them about
the list.  When someone joins a list who is not registered, what should
happen?  There are a couple of choices:

The user goes on completely unaware of their registration, and no password
is assigned.

The user is assigned a password and is told somehow about their
registration[

How do to the latter?  I'm leaning toward having it attach a document that
the site owner chooses with password info to every list-specific welcome
message.

Everything mostly runs now, and I should be committing these changes in a
couple of days.
