And login (as selfuser), as Bipin instructed. But still I get the same 
error as Federico reported.

I agree fully, and this has been suggested several times to Niyam. Some 
quick wins that come to mind:
1. maximize screen utilisation by extending the left and right panels to 
the bottom of the screen. So we avoid - or reduce - scrolling.
2. reduce the grey margins in vertical direction between the left margin 
and the left panel, between both panels and between right panel and 
right margin.
3. I remember that we had the resize button to change the sizes (width) 
of the right and left panels. I suppose this will be implemented later?

On the other hand it must be noted that our current priority is now to 
implement the versioning and branches properly. After implementing the 
main featureset I suggest we plan for an improved UI design and 
implementation.

Best,
