make username case insensitive #184

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The process of assigning usernames based on email will assign a 'case 
sensitive' username. This can be confusing to students. For example, if we have 
their email address as 'JohnDoe@email.com' and tell them that their user name 
is their email address. They may put down 'johndoe@email.com.'  There are 
several ways to tackle this problem, but I think the one that will cause the 
least confusion, is to just always lowercase the email address when we do the 
comparison. (So username is case insensitive from the user's point of view.)
