Yes sure! I didn't mean to sound too annoyed at your comments :)

It might take you a while to learn where we're heading to
(http://si-msn.port5.com/bmeMockup2.png may give you an idea)

Any thoughts on what you want to do first?

Ah ok, I understand. We are kind of limited by the protocol for
what features to support - but yes, we will support all the same
features as msn in windows. I mean how we present those features
to the user will be rethought. eg for user pics - the area of
the top of the list will be used, as this represents how other
contacts see you. If you drag a new jpg or whatever onto the
user pic, a new window will pop up with the ability to adjust
smoothing, resizing, croping options (maybe brightness and stuff
too). So we will provide the same feature of user pics as in
windows, but we will present it better to the user. That's the
idea anyway :D
