Great idea, well done!

However: Is it really the case that it's impossible to login without Facebook? Why?

Yes, for now. Authentication with Facebook (or Google) is one of the simpler methods for avoiding spambots.

I don't currently have a facebook account and I know that a lot of very productive people here in Oxford that decided not to have one as well (e.g., Nick and Anders don't have one). I think adding the option to authenticate via Google is an immediate necessity.

Developer time is a big bottleneck, but I agree with you that adding the option for Google authentication is a high priority.

Some people don't have facebook accounts, and would prefer not to.
