This requires registration.  Is there a non-registration-required section
I can point people at?

If not, I can pretty much guarantee that within the first 10 posts someone
will say "OK, use <username> and <password> to access this", which might
be counter-productive if it annoys Sun.

Either way I can run the story, I just wanted to check back with you first.
