[TYPO3-hci] Creating a new interface - real life meeting

[Sebastian Erlhofer]

Hello everybody,

I agree to Kasper on boosting the progress. But we really need to have a 
plan on what we meet. Only "improve usabiliy and figure out how" is too 
uncertain and won't be worth travelling (except of seeing all your noses 
  ofc :))

But I think we can manage this  :)
