ScienceMesh: Rephrase "Invite users" #11566

Open mmattel opened 2 weeks ago

mmattel commented 2 weeks ago

When setting up a federation, before sharing resources, one party needs to generate an invite token and the other one needs to accept it.

What is maybe clear to devs is not for ordinary users. This is because the step is two fold: invite to federate and share resources

Using the term Invite users without context can lead to misunderstanding about the purpose.

Therefore Invite users should be rephrased to Invite users to federate.

@tbsbdr What do you think?

In general, martin is right that context for the whole userflow is missing. the whole ui needs a ux overhaul. At the moment I'd not try to improve the current ui (though it needs an improvement) because it was designed like that by cern and on the other hand we should have a better concept in general to improve it. so from perspecitve, id set this issue on hold.

For when we work on a UX overhaul in the future: while Invite users to federate is more precise than the current wording, I still find it hard to understand for "normal" (i.e. not science community) users and as such not a good alternative.
