Re: [Fofredux-devel] UI Redesign version Cool

[Broken K. <bro...@gm...>]

Hey all,

Just installed it and having a look around at the things that need to be
done. First off I just want to say thanks to be Walker and Andrew for
getting it all together and putting it on the page so to speak. 

Now it's just time for refining and tweaking, another month of hammering
and we should be ready for the next level . All extremely exciting stuff
to be honest. 

I propose I make a list of the things that need to be sorted out and
then we can tick them off one by one. Maybe get a backpack page and just
put everything in there so that everyone can see what needs to be done.
Everyone up for using backpack or should I use just the mailing list?
I'm cool with either as long as it's easy for everyone to refer to it
and it's clear as to what still needs to be done. 

Thoughts?
