Hi Alessandro, I am trying to understand your point here. Though, I have made more 'objectified' approach to the proposal [1] making it easier to judge for the developers and a specific timeline making things much simpler to coordinate [2].
Honestly, we never said '*we will be doing a lot of design improvements*'. I know its a vague statement to make, but yes, we are supposed to make Design Improvements *specifically* to Files, User Management and Application Management. I mean, we have tried being specific, I don't know where we missed on this. Please note that the timeline I wrote is fresh, so it may need some modifications. But yeah, I have made it clear about making complete PRs related to above mentioned areas and when I will be making them. This may help you judge things more effectively. Also, design evolves with time which made me start on this a bit early. I have kept time towards the end so that more enhancements can be made when we actually are done with the front-end and can see its implementation working. I hope I am making my side clear.
