I was able to create an account and found the account creation stage smooth. I can't say whether or not it conforms to the WCAG for instance, but in terms of user experience it went surprisingly well. Once my account was created, I was already logged in so I didn't have to login explicitly. However I expect this would have worked because login is rarely inaccessible. However, I have been unable to enable the mailing-list mode. To be more precise, I was able to open my account menu and then to switch between the different tabs. I was however not available to see each tab's specific content. Another thing I can share is that I found the web interface scaring. It may be because I am not used to it, but really, I don't like the web. I feel unproductive when I am in my web browser and in an hostile world. Sébastien.
