I agree as well. I was just about to make such a change to 0.10.3, but I
think we need to decide how radical a change we want to make with the
current release, compared to Fallout.

I would like to take the opportunity to give you an idea of my plans =
with
the changes I have made so far. For 0.10.3 I will continue to implement =
the
consistent design I have already started. I don=92t know how many =
modules I
can change before the release candidate, but I'll try to get as far as
possible.

Once 0.10.3 is out, I think we should consider the possibility of going
further with this work. I my opinion it is not only a matter of adding =
new
styles. Some modules could benefit for a more user-friendly workflow. I
would suggest that we take one module at a time, and look closer into =
how we
can change the interface as well as the flow between input forms. I have
already started to make some prototypes, and if we can agree on the =
changes,
then we need to decide how we should go further with the changes. It =
would
involve some coding and I would no doubt need a lot of help. I would =
like to
stress out, that I have no plans for adding new features, and =
introducing
changes to the database layout. It is only a matter of how the workflow =
is
organised and how the different pages communicate with each other.
