AuburnACM/auacm

Allow users to create accounts, or at least allow them to request the creation of an account.

As of right now, users have to find someone who can add them to the site in order to try any of the problems. It would be nice if we could instead have some way for users to create their own accounts (maybe just use the one from gauacm.com?). We could force them to register an email, or even just have a request an account tab where they give a name and an email and you can email them a username and password.

This would be a cool feature, I think they should sign up with an email, then have to confirm their email using a randomly generated url.

How do we feel about requiring an auburn.edu email?

I'm fine with that.

I think requiring an .edu address would be sufficient, it would prevent 5 minute mail spam and would allow something like the IBOP to go much smother if we host it on auacm

Or we could run IBOP on a clone and remove that requirement, like we did for Google
