Hi Imtiaz,

I applied this locally and took a look. There are a couple of issues.
But first, thanks for working on this. It looks like there is a lot of
progress in this patch and I think most of it will be usable. I think
we all appreciate the work you have put into it. I know that I do :-)

The first issue is easy - The patch includes the fix for ESME-205 and
it shouldn't. Obviously one way to avoid this happening is to manually
specify which files to include in the diff. A better way is probably
to use a branch for this type of development. Unfortunately there
isn't really a way I'm satisfied with in SVN, and there isn't a way
we've settled on in this project, but I'd recommend branching.

The second issue is more difficult, and I'm not sure that my
preference is correct, however: My preference is that this should not
be a modal dialog at all, and instead should be inserted directly into
the "My Pools" page. The reason is that I think this is actually the
primary information that users will expect to see on the "My Pools"
page, and we should not ask them to click again to bring it up.

Perhaps the "My Pools" page should be changed to include a single list
of all pools that the user is a member of (basically what you have in
your modal dialog currently). In this list, perhaps we could have an
"Edit" button for pools in which the user has an Admin role. This
button might then trigger a modal dialog with the pool-editing
interface that currently shows up in the "My Pools" page when the user
selects a pool from the drop-down.

Was that clear? Do you agree/disagree? If it's not clear, maybe I need
to mock it up to show you what I'm thinking.

For the modal dialog itself, Can you take a look at the jQuery modal
dialogs that Dick set up? An example is when you click the "New"
button on the "My Tokens" page. I have no idea how it was done off the
top of my head. Maybe you did the same thing, but the one in your
patch looks different and we should probably use the same approach for
all modal dialogs.

Thanks,
Ethan
