Yes, that's exactly the problem ... with help from Bangladesh Open Source Network, we are conducting FOSS camps all around the country, and a session is dedicated to Wikipedia, where we talk about the philosophy, and the newbies have a hands-on experience on creating accounts, logging in, and editing articles. So, definitely we need a workaround. There is a huge potential of editors coming from the 150
A not so fantastic workaround that works is let the people who want an account send an email to request an account to someone, a sysop or if you have it your OTRS-queue.
The need to do; 1) check of there username is free 2) give a username 3) take the email address from the email and created the account and pick to do it by email.
I do it that why for people who can not make an account because the are behind some proxy that I can not unblock or because the user is to technical incompetent to do it thereself. Does not happen a lot.
