Arvados

Another solution -- edit the text in the "welcome to ARvados" box that says "You are accessing public data." right now, and include link back to "Safe" page or that says "log-in or sign-up with any google account."

This solution only works for collections, however. For projects, the first page you hit is the readme, with no "welcome to arvados" box.

• Hover-dropdown the login button, with a "Sign up / log in with Google" item.

(Minimize extra clicks and page loads for regulars, without being too surprising for newcomers.)

Added a hover dropdown to login link using text suggested in #5647-9 (Note #9), omitting the image after talking to Nancy.

Updated after Nancy viewed and commented back.

One small comment on the text in 1f6a187: the menu item uses the verb "Log-in." Most of Workbench uses "Log in." I think we should remove the dash for better consistency (even the topnav in this branch says "Log in").

It might be a little more pure to use a Bootstrap popover, but this is small and time-sensitive enough that we can merge this version and revisit it later.

Thanks.

Thanks Brett. Made the text change. And left the hover-dropdown implementation as is to use css-based solution. Since we are not doing it across the workbench, I wanted to keep it simple and avoid using bootstrap-hover-dropdown gem or any other involved things.

For future, suggest making login drop-down menu show on click instead of hover, to keep consistency with other menus.
The user will have difficulty discovering "?" is a dropdown menu otherwise.

Or in story form: " I just went to cloud.curoverse and spent a few seconds hovering over "login" and then hovering over the "?" menu and wondering why the latter dropdown wasn't showing before remembering I needed to click it"

Edit: ...I recall my where my deep hatred of tooltip menus comes from: watching little kids try to use hover menus on the Arduino IDE. guh. the SIGGRAPH people in 1990 designed better GUIs than are the accepted default now.

(I agree, tooltips are not bad by themselves, but they are easily misused, like any other GUI element.)
