943551 - Popcorn Maker interrupts my flow by making me "claim my maker space"

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Webmaker Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

I demoed Popcorn Maker to my students. They then logged into the site for the first time, and were immediately told to "claim their maker space!". Not only did they not really understand what this meant, but it required a creative cognitive step that was unrelated to the tasks I had set them on their worksheets.

If it's necessary to "claim a makerspace", then can it be done on first save? And it needs to be better explained in the dialog. Also, we should prefill the box with the localpart of the user's email address (assuming it's available) or some derivative of it, so if they just click the "Whatever" button, something good happens.

Yeah, this is a problem we have with all of our apps, so moving this over to general.
