Whoops, forgot to include instructions.

Underneath the Log in link on the Account Confirmation page:

To set up to share on Chandler Desktop:

1. Go to the File>>Accounts... menu to set up your Chandler Hub Sharing account.
2. Select 'Chandler Hub Sharing' from the list of accounts on the left.
3. Enter your username and password.
4. Click [Test...] to make sure the account is working.
5. Click [Okay] to save the account.
6. Select a collection to Publish.
7. Go to the Share>>Publish menu.
8. Click [Publish]
9. Send around the 2 URLs you are given to invite others to view or view and edit this collection.

How quickly can we do the following?

1. Add instructions to the 'account confirmation' page when signing up for a Chandler Hub account explaining how to set up and share in Chandler Desktop.

2. Automatically generate 2 tickets for all Chandler Hub collections, regardless of where they're created. https:// bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10261

3. Enable the Share>>Publish menu even if you don't have a sharing account set up and pop-up a dialog re-directing you to set up your Hub account. (I think we had this working before.)

While still not ideal, implementing these 3 relatively simple fixes will greatly improve on the set up process today.

This doesn't address things like:
+ Making it clear to users that they *can* share
+ Making it easy to understand the difference between backing up and syncing your own data and sharing with others + Automatically syncing all collections between Desktop and Hub (for yourself)
+ Guiding users through setting up accounts with a wizard
