Yes, I know... I have tried to figure out how many of your
non-documented extensions works...   ;-)  :-)

That sounds great, but it should be a permanent effort, not just
a project...  :-(

The problem is that developers always get the last word: "if you
like that, do it yourself". And since I think usability guys are
not that good at programming (there are exeptions of course, but
in general!) usability issues always get lower priority.

And if noone with power (like you Kasper) support these
usability guys in thier effort and change the priority (like
with v4.5), they will sooner or later probably give up.

So my suggetsion is: get more usability / documentation guys
into the Association board!
