let me just add one (more) point to this discussion (I´ve already stressed this issue at the other thread).
IMO, when talking about the admin-interface, we´re talking about different "construction zones": – the whole structure and user experience with the admin-interface as mentioned by jeff and others (long-term) – HTML/CSS (quite short-term, this can be changed with baby-steps) – JS-refactoring (already in the making - but, unfortunately, decoupled from refactoring the HTML/CSS) – python-changes, some smaller (like removing hardcoded stuff) and some bigger (if we want to re-discuss the admin index page, for example) – look & feel (probably the least important issue since skins will evolve once skinning is easily possible) considering these zones, I guess I´m following jeffs proposal for a team (with, maybe, a team-leader), because no "design czar" I know is really good with all the mentioned topics. just my 2 cents. regards, patrick On 7 Feb., 08:17, Idan Gazit <i...@pixane.com> wrote: > On Feb 7, 6:06 am, Justin Lilly <jus...@justinlilly.com> wrote: > > > I, for > > one, am willing to trust their judgement on someone who can lead this > > design-czar selection process, if Wilson doesn't come out and name his > > successor, as it were. > > Something that hasn't been explicitly said yet: > > I *don't* think that the design czar necessarily needs to be a > rockstar designer.
