[Design] "restore published shares.." menu option

[Mimi Yin]

I agree we should up the ante on maintenance since 'Restore Published  
Shares' has proven to be a useful data recovery tool.

However, I think that's a separate issue from where it belongs in the  
menus.

I think of the features in the 'end-user menus' as functionality  
users need access to assuming that Chandler is functioning 'as  
expected'.

Even though we expect 'Restore Published Shares' to be used by end- 
users, I still think of it as a hack...a tool we point people to when  
something has gone wrong.

A different way to look at this is: Does this need to be a menu item?  
Perhaps we should automatically start the restore-published-shares  
process when users fill in sharing account information, assuming  
there are already published shares. This is how IMAP accounts work.
