RIP. <armchairgeneral> I've for a long time been thinking of the benefits of creating a "user friendliness officer" similar to the security officer / tech advisory board we have now. In other words: Give the authority to somebody to Just Decide. As it is, we end up with bikesheds over UI issues all the time, grumbling, and a user interface that's the result of who shouts loudest. We also end up with developers that are less-than-motivated to work on anything user interface related, because we know we'll just get shouted at no matter what we do... </armchairgeneral> Eivind.
