UI for tracking post submissions (once threaded)
Status: Beta
Brought to you by:

We'll need some sort of UI for tracking post submission
status now that we are moving post submission off of
the main thread. Perhaps a determinant or
indeterminant progress indicator, a cancel button, and
a status message. Could either be like the downloads
window of most browsers or a simple status area across
the bottom of the client beginning in the lower left.

Just to clarify, the main reason I wanted to move all of this stuff off the
main thread was to keep the GUI responsive and allow the user to cancel
the request when del.icio.us was down--not necessarily to enable
multiple simultaneous posts. That said, you're right--I think that request
is going to create some new UI needs. What I've been thinking about
doing is mocking some stuff up and putting it on my weblog for
comments...
