I'm comfortable with that, though it's worth mulling. Interestingly enough the migration instructions got reduced last night to only need the "enter user name and password steps".

Some users may want or need to disable SSL when accessing the Hub.

Good point, so we should keep the SSL and Port fields around so people can futz with them.


I'm also thinking through issues of default-ness, interaction with settings files, etc. There were a surprising number of caveats and related issues when we futzed with accounts recently.

What does this mean in concrete terms? How can we be strategic about changes to the accounts dialog?

+ We wouldn't be changing which account was the default account. Chandler Hub sharing would still be the default sharing account.

+ We are changing:
- Sign up text
- What the Sign up text links to
- Removing the server and path fields
- Adding a new account type: Chandler Server sharing

Which of these changes do you feel might cause complications with settings files, default-ness, etc?
