Description
After several tests with people, both Dario and Sara had problems when creating the username. Both were insisting to use a name with capital letters, even though they were reading the (!) error.
A similar problem occurred when creating a group.
I don't know how to solve this, but I have three suggestions. I would apply the three, but probably the third takes more time.
Suggestion 1:- ask "Name" before "Username" in user creation. It's more intuitive.
- ask "Long name" before "Short name" in group creation
- In the (!) description, maybe "lowercase" should be in bold?
- Maybe we can auto-generate a short-name or username based on the long-name introduced before, as a proposal that can be changed.

In New Group form, asking for Long name before Short name, focusing on Long name; closes #169

I agree with Contraproposal to (3). I'd also do (1).
#4 Updated by Anonymous over 12 years ago
- the username in the log-in dialog (not just in the sign-in dialog).
- the group name in the register-group dialog

I reopen this issue instead of creating a new one. I'd do "Suggestion 1" even if comment #4 was done, is it ok? I can assign it to myself.
