Hi,

I have created a UIO Options iteration page that is for now very barebones:

http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/User+Interface+Options+Iteration+Planning
 

It contains a list of JIRA tickets that describe the actual work that we are 
planning to tackle first. Let me know if you see anything missing or in case I 
am describing something incorrectly (I tried to write those JIRA's up based on 
the notes that were sent previously in this thread :) ).

Regards,

Yura
