Tests/Mesh view
Notes: The process required for most of the steps, most significantly group formation and invitations, is mostly educated guesswork based on the HIG, as is the desired result. I haven't invested much effort into making this into a coherent, flowing user case simply yet - it's more intended to sort out exactly how all of these features (many/most of which, to the best of my knowledge, have not been fully implemented yet, seeing as how I still can't even see other XOs on the mesh) are supposed to work. Once the intended results of these features has become clearer, I'll work on revising it.
