"Registration Error" message is not friendly

[sridhar]

If a user clicks Register from the Home View when a School Server is not available, they get a "Registration Error" message. This is not friendly, and can lead the user to believe that there is something wrong with the XO. We need a message that is more descriptive and friendly. For example:

No School Server found on the network. Please ensure that you are connected to the correct network and that the server is available.

The message at the moment is:

'Registration Error'
'Cannot connect to the server.'

This is not too bad imho.

I prefer registration error over registration failed, agree with Simon.
An alternative cannot be too verbose.

I vote for keeping the actual messages.

Whoops, I was quoting the error from memory and got it wrong. My argument still stands, however. We get questions from the field and from testers about this error, wondering whether their XO is broken. It doesn't inspire confidence in the Sugar platform.

Earlier, the "Regsitration failed" message seemed more like a threat.
The new message sounds more like an information-conveying one.

The new message is ::

Primary (title) :

---

No School Server found on the network

Secondary (details) :

---

Please ensure that you are connected to the correct network and that the server is available.
