Speaking of fun, do we have a UI project coordinator? If not, I'd be happy to volunteer. =)

More seriously though, I'd like to suggest that we need some kind of multi-level thinking going on here. Its great that everyone is thinking about the LLL, but people should be thinking about the HLL, distribution, persistant data, and everything else at the same time. (If we want to get into money-making business things, as Mike suggested, then perhaps we ought to have someone to evaluate how well TUNES fits into the business model.) Its not possible for each person to do all these things, but that's why we have so many people. If we don't take a more global approach to the problem, the higher-level stuff could be severely limited by the lower-level decisions, and vice versa. (Of course, this also doesn't exclude various mid-level pieces screwing themselves either.)

So maybe becoming UI coordinator isn't so silly right now. After all, how long do we want to wait for a decent interface? All of our end-user goals won't work without one.

Anyone else have these feelings?

I'd be happy for you to help with that. Formerly (according to our charter) I was in charge of it. But I would be more than happy to hand it on to you. The UI is going to be a fun piece of software to work on and I have lots of ideas of how to do it.

Chris-

I second your proposal of yourself as UI co-ordinator! Good idea.

JVS.
