Re: [xwiki-devs] Should email invitation app be a top level application? How should I add it to the sandbox?

Is this a token of user's popularity? :P Just like Gmail, you could have a limited number of people you could invite in the wiki and take care of your followers :) we shouldn't do that, but was just an idea. If this step would be for the administrator, would be nice from the list of accepted users, that we can apply batch operations for giving rights and adding people in certain groups. Again, just an idea. I don't understand why you have 2 interfaces that do the same thing. Why there is a version if you have edit right for the page? If you don't have edit rights you shouldn't see a form, but just the labels and content of the form elements, or nothing at all. The first problem I see in the usability is, like Marius said, inviting multiple people in the same step. This step is essentially for the productivity and is working different in the view/pretendEdit right mode. In the pretendEdit mode you have a textarea for entering lists of emails with separators. The view mode has validation for the email field. Do you plan to validate the multiple mails too? Also users are not very good at following directions like "*with a comma and a space*". A solution for this would be just like the way we add Tags. Provide an overlay for entering emails one by one. This way you can validate them in the overlay and also take care of the separators. The emails could be deleted using the corner X. The problem with this solution is if the user is experimented and he has a standard list of emails he wants to paste, without entering one by one. We should satisfy both use cases. Caty
