Hi All,

This thread has become a little quiet but since it's on the roadmap for the 
upcoming version, very relevant. Any remarks on the Subversion layout described 
on http://amdatu.org/confluence/display/Amdatu/Subversion+layout?

Regards, Ivo

Ok, my perspective from a higher level:

One of the original visions of Amdatu is a common platform to bring together 
various applications in one environment. Not a technological environment in the 
sense of a virtual machine, but a recognizable environment for the end-user, in 
the end the most important user of Amdatu, not the developer.

We can expect all kinds of parties to start building applications on top of 
Amdatu. We pay much attention to reuse and easy of development on top of 
Amdatu. If we take the end-user in account, we should also pay much attention 
to usability and recognizability, the user experience.

This is something that gets a lot of attention on other platforms, wether it is 
Windows, iPhone or facebook. A recognizable user interface really helps a lot 
for the end-user, and will greatly help adoption of the platform. Also, good UI 
widgets, patterns really helps developers build a solution fast. Of course, a 
developer can circumvent the UI guidelines and tools we provide, but it's 
really compelling and the end-user expects it, why not use them?

What UI paradigm and UI strategy helps us achieve that goal?
