excellent; welcome back!

i think it is indeed the best place to discuss changes that are actively being 
made. however, for those who aren't coders but can pick out usability issues 
the reports are a great way to cache that information until someone focusses 
their guns on that application or part of kde...

oh, that would be great. i've been putting my UI files and screenshots on a 
box i have access to, but it would be so much nicer to have a place to upload 
them to side-by-side with everyone else's efforts. that would allow even 
better cross-polination of idea IMO ... 

something like a usability CVS repository would be nice ... where each focus 
could get a directory, and each person can commit their works-in-progress to 
it. i wouldn't want to put that load on kde's cvs though ...

cvs might be overkill. a web interface would be a fine start =)

again, welcome back martin!
