Priscilla, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the thinking behind providing access to the home directory UI through settings is that an advanced and technical Casual Collaborator would be comfortable manipulating the contents of their account (e.g. adding and revoking tickets, adding and removing collections) through the home directory browser UI.

Again, neither Proposal 2 or 3 precludes providing access for

i am not a fan of any of the proposals. i think we should either:

4) have links to admin and browser in some unobtrusive place that is
not the settings dialog (cos that really just doesn't make sense) -
maybe small links in the page footer?

bcm, what is your particular objection to providing access to the admin/home dir from the login page? It seems like if we can agree that there will be minimal overlap between home dir users and Casual Collaborators, providing access to the home dir from the login page would streamline the workflow for the home dir users and de-clutter the calendar/dashboard UI for the Casual Collaborators.


5) have links on the snarf main page and nowhere in the calendar ui proper.

I think we can all agree on this.
