Hmm.  You shouldn't be getting Edit Profile twice.  After clicking Save,
you should have been redirected to the home page with this info message:

"You will soon receive an email with a link to activate your account."

Yes.  The username may be in lower-case though.

Do you mean as opposed to user.name at domain?  That should be accepted too.

It should be defaulting to the email address of the Google account, at
least if it also is a Gmail account.  We probably should use OpenID
attribute exchange to request first and last name too.

I don't think that's it.  I think you might be requesting a username
which is already taken ("sankarshan", I'm guessing).  Or it could be a
duplicate email address.  You should get an error message to that
effect, but it looks like we have a bug which is affecting the output.
That's why you ended up on Edit Profile twice.

Since the account "sankarshan" already exists, you might want to add
your Google account as a second identity on the account (assuming it is
in fact your account), rather than creating a second account in Zanata.
 You can do this from Manage Identities on the profile page:

https://translate.zanata.org/zanata/profile/identities

Just click Add New Identity and then specify the new login you want to
use.  Then you will be able to log in to the Zanata account with either
method.
