[Design] [Cosmo] Signing-up and Subscribing to a Share

[Mimi Yin]

Okay, not a huge deal for Preview. I'm trying out some designs that  
would allow the user to sign-up in a pop-up, thereby reducing the  
likelihood that they will have clicked away from the shared  
collection when they come back to cosmo to confirm their new account.

Inplace login is depicted above that screen.

Priss and I are also rethinking the "Subscribe with Chandler" dialog.  
I realized that we can't 'rename' the share before the user  
subscribes to the collection in Chandler, because renaming it in  
Cosmo won't affect the name the user sees in Chandler. It may also  
feel weird to the user that clicking on "Subscribe with Chandler" is  
the only way to access URLs and How-to pages for subscribing with  
iCal and as a Feed.

Original 'Subscribe with Chandler' dialog is below that screen.

Thx!
