It should be noted that our original UI plan was to put imported comments in a separate tab. Make of that what you will. However, let's not get focussed on which shade of magnolia the comment-shed is going to be. > The current UI could stand, just minus the permalink via ID for > imported comments.

There probably is some risk of confusion but I don't think we're going to find the right solution by talking about it; much better that we experiment and get it wrong a couple of times (hey, that's what ~malone-alpha's for) so that we get it right before we eventually release it. -- Graham Binns | PGP Key: EC66FA7D http://launchpad.net/~gmb _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
