Comment 11 for bug 794985

Hey JB,

when you have the time: for the* first time wizard*, we need an extra panel
that asks the user for the username, and more importantly, the *computer
name*. Because when people try Syncany and launch two instances, they wonder
why it doesn't synchronize. We have to make sure that people understand that
they have to choose a distinct computer name for each instance.

What do you think about this?

Cheers,
Philipp
