Juergen, UX has prepared assessment of other merge candidates that assess the areas to emulate, area to avoid, and areas where we can improve from a user experience perspective. We have sample work products that we can use as a template.
I'll capture this as a UX exploration task in the UX wiki and ask for volunteers. Do you have a bugzilla ID that we can reference?
