Why? 103 -* Create accounts for new users -> I don't really know where to go. 104 -* What is the order of icons in the administration? Why is it like that? 105 -** Explanatations for each item in administration (captions, tooltips) 106 -** Why OpenOffice? What is it doing here? It's an option. 107 -** Registration is confusing 108 -* Administration: drop-down & "Show available categories" button put together. Why is that so? 109 -** The drop-down menu isn't self-explanatory, it doesn't tell anything about itself 110 -** "Add new user" should be at the top of the page 111 -** Clicking on "Create new user" launches a popup -> various interaction styles 112 -*** what's mandatory, what's optional? 113 -*** no error messages, information gets lost 114 -*** email field not used by default 115 -*** automatically generate a password for the user (-> invitation manager) 116 -*** configuring registration options / process in XWiki in complicated 117 -*** **email addresses are hidden in the user profile** 118 -*** user profile -> actions are not in the right place 119 -** put user into a group 120 -*** group names suck, system groups are not identified as such 121 -*** edit button -> what am I editing, group name of group members?
