David,

Thanks for your complement! I'm glad you like it. Cardo was one of the 
first Wikis that made me realize how much could be done using the platform, 
so thank you for the inspiration.

1. The origin of the "Open in Main Story" drop area is actually a solution 
to a technical limitation in TW's $navigator widget. Each of the lists on a 
board is implemented as a "story river" just like the main story. Clicking 
a local link in TW sends a message up the widget tree and $navigator 
catches it and performs the tasks to open tiddlers, etc. Short of hacking 
around it in javascript, I found no built in way to break the message out 
of the mini stories, so I decided to make the user drag it out!

2. The << and >> icons are neither buttons or drag items, they are small 
drop areas like the larger regions in the control banner. Try dragging the 
title of a list to the icon to reorder. Note that you can drag cards to the 
icons to change them to lists, and drag lists into the card area to change 
them to cards. These drop areas have been misunderstood by several people, 
so a future version will likely have a change to a different design. For 
Dropboard 1.0.0 the User Guide wiki will have much better documentation and 
examples in the user guide to help people discover how this feature works.

3. The control banner does need another iteration. I'm trying to take 
advantage of the extra height that is established by the drop areas, keep 
the options well laid out and visible at thin board widths e.g. in the 
sidebar, and also avoid resorting to hiding things behind a "More" button. 
If any ideas that you could draw a napkin sketch of, I'd be interested to 
see them (Keeping in mind that as an exercise I've decided to only use 
WikiText, Widgets, and Macros on this project. No javascript).
