From d17c40e79f66f6d9ed2019c53edf4a9b3d0b9ec3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lotus CI Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 02:36:25 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] landing: describe SSO sign-up, drop dashes and hyphens from the page text The "How to Join" steps still said to register with a token from Jared; accounts now come from LLDAP and people sign in with Lotus SSO. The steps now read: ask Jared for a Lotus Guild account, open chat.lotusguild.org and sign in with Lotus SSO, join the space. The contact line asks "Questions or need an account?" and the server details say "Invite only". Visible text no longer uses em dashes, en dashes or hyphens (dashes became colons, commas, full stops or "to"; compounds became separate words), in the hand-written parts and in data/features.json / comparison.json, with index.html regenerated by build.py. Package names (matrix-js-sdk, matrix-rust-sdk, matrix-dart-sdk, matrix-sdk-crypto-wasm) and D-Bus keep their hyphens; markup, URLs and are untouched. The reviewed date displays as "September 26, 2026" (datetime attribute stays ISO).
