Other thought: Remove double click and plus buttons, and associated explanation text. Add a small number of buttons, with names something like Add, Modify, and Remove. Colors and locations of these buttons TBD. For example, they could be pinned to the bottom, just like the board agenda tool. Pressing these buttons would either traverse to another page (example: from /roster/committee/whimsy to /roster/committee/whimsy/add), or would morph the page in place. For modify and delete operations, checkboxes would appear before every line, allowing you to select multiple entries. Buttons could adjust based on the section. Pushing a button would result in a confirmation dialog. For add operations, a clearly labeled search box would enable the selection of individuals to be added. Adding a user would cause that individual to show up in a separate list. Buttons could be present to add the individuals as mentors, PPMC members, or merely as committers. Again, pushing a button would result in a confirmation dialog. - Sam Ruby
