I certainly agree that we want to make sure the UI is not /dependent/ on such fanciness, but I think it's acceptable for there to be some reasonable use of modern web UI tools, as long as the interface degrades gracefully. Remember that we have users who require specialized browsers (e.g. screen talkers for the visually impaired) and some people who use text-only browsers like links/lynx. > Ideally, I'd like to see everything in the FAQ Wizard > get > removed because it is no longer applicable.

Too much of the functionality is embedded in Cgi scripts and not refactored out into utilities that other access methods could take advantage of. List removal is something that comes to mind. OTOH, this is something I have a keen interest in fixing. > Your work is very important to us. > > I'm not sure you fully understand how important. Or how > difficult. ;) Indeed!
