1. Convenience : We use 'changes' all the time. 2. Minimality : To avoid overloading the main UI with a lot of little-used commands 3. Precedent : Changes was here first > There appears to me an inconsistency on one side or the other. Any > thoughts? I highly recommend that we avoid overindulging in these kinds of discussions. I definitely want us to have a very principled and well thought out user interface, which is what these kinds of questions serve, but discussions like these tend to sprawl out with little impact. I'd appreciate it we could all make an effort to flesh out these kinds of ideas more before bringing them to the list. Avoid the cascade of ping-pong balls. I have a nagging worry about all the people not reading this list because the traffic is too high. The problem is that they're usually silent (because they're not reading the list!) so you don't know what you're missing. So let's keep things a little more focused, a little more productive (not too much, gotta have some fun!). >> Perhaps we could work on this in Edinburgh, you and I. > > Definitely.

I'm arriving early Saturday morning and leaving Sunday evening. -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
