Thanks.

How would someone find this if they didn't have the URL you sent?

See http://www.osgeo.org

OSGeo Community
    * Member Area
       * Access to OSGeo services (OSGeo user ID)
            -> Finding a Userid

Please suggest where you would expect it so that we
can add it there, too.

I went to the Member Area

      * Access to OSGeo services (OSGeo user ID)
           -> Finding a Userid

This link ("Finding a Userid") does not exist on the Members Area page under the "Access to OSGeo services" paragraph (or anywhere else that I can see). The only link is "Get a OSGeo user ID here." This is the case if I'm logged in or not logged in.

Well, I guess first add a link on the Member Area. A search box on the right column that says "Search for an OSGeo Member" would be a good way to do this.

Note that I'd also make "User login" a little more prominent. Right now, it's in tiny print at the bottom of a very long menu at the left. A lot of pages have a user login near the top and center or right, with some kind of prominent lettering.

You have to click on the link there (omitted to mention that).

Ok.
I have changed the wording there, please check again:

Done.

This suggestion should go here:

There is a "Website" category.
