Comment (by jeremyfelt):

 Thanks for the request, @Person. Sorry we haven't said anything in 4
 years! :)

 I agree that the current new site form is clunky. The existing behavior is
 described well:

 ''A new user will be created if the above email address is not in the
 database. The username and password will be mailed to this email
 address.''

 The workflow to add a new site and invite a new user without that site's
 address becoming the username is:

 1. Create user on the network.
 2. Create site on the network, specifying the email address for that new
 user.

 At the risk of adding too many options to this page, is there a way that
 we can streamline this?

 I guess the one thing that stands out is whether other user information
 would need to be assigned as well. Maybe if we detect that the entered
 email address is a new user, additional form fields are presented to help
 create?
