OpenID is nice, but not trivial as a normal login consisting of 
username/password. I do not know why we offer only OpenID.

Which one for example?

Me either, but I thought we would like to offer userbase as their home to 
reduce no. of outdated *.kde.org pages? 

See kbabels page at http://kbabel.kde.org/
We need something similar for lokalize.
How to deal with that? A userbase page (few lines, a screenshot and some 
links) and techbase page for lokalize does not leave the same mark as a page 
made with Capacity.

I know these pages. Userbase is fine at the moment. 
But I doubt that userbase is groing like techbase. To less people 
contributing.

Hmmh. Its like in September. Discussion at kde-www, discussion at promo list 
... and no accordance :-(

And I really doubt that userbase is the right place to manage events or 
maintain lists for talk slides.

Cheers,
