Rails - Aug 2013 - Pre Registration and Single Passwords

Hello all,

I''m new to Rails and have been learning for a couple months now.  I am 
building a simple application that will be used internally by a 20 people 
within an organization. 

In the first instance they will need to sign up with their email address.

When the app is ready to go live with full features, they will receive an 
email providing them with the password to log in. *What is important to 
note is that all 20 users will be using the same password. The password is 
to be set at a later date.*

I would appreciate any advice on how best to do this without them having to 
select the password in the pre-registration phase.

I will be using Action Mailer and have also come across the Lock
Gem<https://github.com/charlotte-ruby/lock> but
it would be really helpful to talk through a few solutions.

Thanks,
Branden

Is there a compelling business reason for this? Is there any real security at
all needed or desired in this site? If they are all peers, and they know that
it''s a single password, and they are all peers -- so they know each
other''s e-mail address -- and they are all peers -- so they may be
human and want to prank one another, or spy on one another, or worse. Do you see
what I''m saying here? Do I have to mention again that they are all
peers?
