Users prefer modeless dialogs to modal dialogs, so I'd prefer to keep
them modeless unless we run into a problem -- which we don't currently have.

Bummer, and after all the work we did to make them asynchronous...
The one workflow issue that might arise is that users may launch the
'Share' dialog 1st BEFORE creating and selecting a new collection in
the sidebar to publish.
We may want to add a pull-down to the publish dialog so that users
can select: New collection or any other collection from the sidebar
AFTER launching the 'Share' dialog. The collection selected by
default should still be whatever was selected in the sidebar when the
user launched the 'Share' dialog.
A pulldown listing all collections in the sidebar wouldn't be
difficult. Having the "New collection" option doesn't make sense to
me though, because the user won't have an opportunity to name this new
collection unless we add another field to the dialog (or pop up a
second dialog), and therefore the subscribers will just get an
"Untitled" collection. I suppose publishing an empty collection could
make sense in some situations, but then again I can't think of one at
the moment. Do you have an example?
