[Cosmo-dev] time out tickets

[Sheila Mooney]

Pieter,

Thanks for pointing this out. Please log these in bugzilla so we can  
track them.

I just wanted to point out that from a product perspective this is  
not a casual collaborator feature so perfecting this stuff will have  
to be prioritized along with everything else. We want to see how much  
dogfood feedback we get from these types of users.

That being said, I agree there is definitely some weirdness in this  
workflow. If the Cosmo team feels there are some obvious trivial  
changes that would improve the experience, I would encourage them to  
go ahead and log those and we can get them some of this fixed for  
Preview.

Cheers,
Sheila
