First running 1.3 observations

[Jack Park <ja...@topicquests.org>]

Now that it's running, aside from a CSS issue with Firefox mentioned 
below, it's being confusing in relation to pools.

I created a pool.
In another browser (IE), I created another user, "joe", and made some 
posts. Then, went back to my account and tried to add "joe" into my 
pool.  (The "Edit" button is someone misleading).  I can type in joe for 
the user, and give him either a Read or Write role. Click Add User 
button. Nothing happens. No "joe" in the list of users.  Tried his full 
name "Joe Sixpack" -- it really didn't like that, and still refused to 
accept "joe", not even giving an error message.

Joe is unable to "see" my pool in his browser.

Perhaps I'm missing something; just doing what seems intuitive.

Issue added to Jira.
Yes, I did not expect Joe to see it, unless it had been created but not 
showing.

We (I) should probably surface more of our ideas about pools on the
CMS site. Actually, there is quite a bit of documentation present but
it is either hidden in the mail archives or in the old wiki.

I'll put in on my list to surface this information.

Hi Jack,

Thanks for the feedback and for finding this bug. Comments are inline:

This is a bug where the list of users in the pool isn't updating after
adding a user. If you reload the page and reselect the pool, you'll
see "joe" in the list, I think. Can you create a Jira issue for this?

Aside from that, we clearly need to do some work on the usability of
the pool management interface. It has been pretty confusing since the
beginning. Would be worth having a Jira issue for this too!

If you don't get to creating the issues, I'm sure either Dick or I
will get to it this weekend.

> Joe is unable to "see" my pool in his browser.

Joe won't see messages that were posted to the pool before he was
added to the pool. Try posting a new message to the pool and see if
Joe sees it. If you added Joe with a Write role, he should also be
able to see the pool in the "Share with" dropdown when composing a
message.

> Perhaps I'm missing something; just doing what seems intuitive.

I think it's not very intuitive at the moment, which is definitely a problem.

Cheers,
Ethan
