Hi Tharindu,

Well, there is a slight relevance, and hence this e-mail. Take the service
UI for example. Multiple products publish multiple kinds of services which
have different semantics, but utilize a single UI. And, another example is
a situation as in G-Reg. There can be multiple types of tasks that may get
scheduled even in a single product. I'm not suggesting a 100% generic UI,
but I'm trying to understand the best solution to this situation. While we
can write our own thing is an easy answer. How can I manage, understand and
correlate all my tasks is definitely going to be a question to a user in
the long run.

Thanks,
Senaka.
