Katie's right, it doesn't cover the redesign, but that's some of the
things we have to work out. I would recommend Evan look at the guide,
and then begin coordinating with Katie & Kevin. If as you're going you
can comment well and possibly even write a basic high-level arch doc
that would be very cool. Same for UI in defining color guide, layout
ideals, etc. B/c people may/will start contributing and it will be
nice for having the code/design already in line with what we have.

Evan is also right that we want to keep the database slim, if not for
size, but actual maintainability in the logic, and also for htting
feeds. Which means moving tags, read status, etc. off to user indexed
tables.

I recommend we add/update the pertinent, high-level, feature requests:
multi-user, ui redesign, plugin arch. However, specific tasks can
probably be divided by the "working groups" via email. I would like to
keep much of the discussion here on the fofredux-devel list as it
allows the whole team to keep up to speed on what is going on where
(e.g. UI redesign can catch and view based code redesign discussions).
The email list is also searchable, and easily replyable. The team
isn't so big that there are too many discussions going on either -
there were 3 primary devs for 0.3, with Evan & Khaled now coming in on
0.4, and perhaps 1 or 2 hidding devs out there to add to the total.

Just keep your subject lines informative the discussion (not just
FoFRedux, but FoFRedux CSS problems). If the traffic becomes too much,
we can readdress the issue at that point. An obviously it's ok to move
very specific discussion ("what does line 543 mean?") off to private
emails/IMs/carrier pigeons.
