Description Vince Kraemer 2005-11-10 19:47:21 UTC
* I don't think the design with 4 radio buttons in the first step  would work
well. I think the user would not be able to distinguish  between choices like
"Register local default domain" and "Register  local domain". They would have to
go to next step and then return if  it's not what they expected. Back and forth.
I guess in the same step  there should be also selection of domains next to the
radio button  choices. That would explain the user what kind of additional 
information each choice requires. This would simplify the whole  wizard, IMO.

This needs comment from ken about whether docs can accept such a large change.
Change the target milestone to get this effort started.
Comment 2 Kenneth Ganfield 2005-11-11 11:41:07 UTC
target milestone changed to 5.0
this can be done if the changes are in place by monday 14 nov, as our handoff is
on 15 nov.

I suggest distinguishing them somehow, into 2 or 3 groups.
and would also suggest that when the user chooses a type, some text could appear
in the dialog briefly explaining that selection

Jano sent me email, saying that he cannot review a spec/screenshot until Monday.

Since I cannot get the feedback and revise the UI instantly, this may be our one
change too many....
