Two aspects. 1. Ergonomic functionality that is to a degree subjective and depends on individual preferences and work styles. 2. Speed of the technology. The advantage of a focus on the second one is that it's an absolute. If OOo starts faster, opens and saves documents faster and responds quicker to menu requests everyone benefits no matter what their individual preferences are. My vote is for this project to concentrate on the operating speed of the technology and leave the ergonomics to the UI people. -- Ian Ofqual Accredited IT Qualifications A new approach to assessment for learning www.theINGOTs.org - 01827 305940 You have received this email from the following company: The Learning Machine Limited, Reg Office, 36 Ashby Road, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 8AQ.
