Separate username from name in user's attributes

[axelitus]

One thing I really find annoying in Collabtive is the use of the name as the username used to log in. I really doesn't like this as one would want to have the real name of the people working in a project, but this complicates the login procedure having to write the full name specified in the Name attribute.

Why not just add a 'username' attribute like just about every other system in the whole world? (or taking the other side's approach a 'Name' attribute that doesn't relate to the login procedure but has the full name of the person/company/area/etc.)

Please add username.

Please add username or make email address as the username

[some person]

The system currently allows for use of email instead of username. Try it by using email address instead of name while logging in.

All that is needed now is to rename the "User" field to "Name" or "Full Name," and then possibly remove the ability to login using name.
