[libdb-develop] UI Question: Dropdown of Persons, Manual Entry, or Both?

[Morbus I. <mo...@di...>]

Alright. You're entering a new movie, and you've reached the part of the 
form where you're going to enter cast and crew members. Assuming that 
you MUST manually enter the data, do you want to type each person's name 
manually, or choose from a list of existing names? And if you want to 
choose from a list of existing names, how would you prefer to handle the 
addition of new names?

The current draft UI I'm working on will have you manually typing the 
name (presuming that most users of LibDB will a) be importing data from 
existing sources, b) be a casual enough user to not *immediately* be 
bothered by the manual effort).
