Not really. There's a little contact to the new skinning team (which I 
am part of too) and a little contact to Kasper. But there is no real 
contact to the CORE team. (As you are able to see, if you analyze T3 4.1 
in terms of "usuability" improvements.. ;))

Yes. The skinning team will help us here a little bit if we want but 
it's the job of the hci team to design and code it. The skinning team 
focuses on T3 4 branch with its current design and won't implement 
something completly new except we provide it.

No. At the end it's a question of several teams. The skinning team, the 
CORE team and of course the T3 Association. That's why I would propose 
to do everything as extensions which can be integrated into the T3 CORE 
later on.

As much as you like.

That's an important question where it's hard to find an answer. 
Personally I propose to do little things like a search or nested lists 
for the 4 branch, but the new UI should be something for T3 5.0 I guess. 
It's just to much work to do for a system that will become obsolete or 
whatever.. ..just in the moment when we can release a new UI. (because 
that won't be finished after some days..)

Greetings
