Just a meta remark...

In this thread 8 people have sent a total of 30 mails. But in the end nobody 
volunteers to do the (not very hard) work to make what was discussed actually 
happen. Was this a bikeshed.com discussion? Maybe not since designing good 
menus is complex and important. But my point is that we should take care, as a 
community, to not only invest into discussions but at least as much into 
*doing*. 

Cheers,
Adrian
