The SVN version already displays a notification "The invitation email
has been sent successfully." (or will warn if not, e.g. destination
address doesn't exist).

Also, please keep in mind that the current deployment, i.e. that
everyone can create new institutions as he likes, is only for easier
testing. In the final version, only federation admins are allowed to
create new institutions - a normal institution admin won't get in touch
with the whole invitation system until he receives the initial
invitation mail.

It doesn't require http:// at all. It could be https://. Or other crazy
things - e.g. for individual device redirects, it could also be a direct
link to a PDF residing on an ftp:// server...). In any case, it's a bit
dangerous to just guess.

What I could imagine is: when the admin enters something without
protocol discriminator ( :// ), we could add http:// *but* put a warning
on screen asking whether that is really what he wanted. Would you find
that a good solution?

Greetings,

Stefan
