[TYPO3-extbase-kickstarter] Tasks until the Developer Days

[Rens Admiraal]

Hi Guys,

I would really love to see the kickstarter have a user friendly UI, so 
I've been working on a little mock which should at least trigger you to 
give feedback :-)

For a while I've been thinking that the extension should match the TYPO3 
skin, but I've stepped away from this... Offcourse it must have the same 
feeling! But do we have to stick to the backend menu like we have now? I 
don't think this offers the overview a developer starting with extbase 
needs... This week I've introduced a TYPO3 developer into extbase, and 
he screemed 'Argh! All those files! Where do I find ... ?' multiple 
times :-) So, let's make something which offers a good overview at once :-)

I would love to hear your feedback! Even if you think the UI should go 
an entire other way! This is just meant to find the best solution for 
the UI...

You can download the mockup for the next few days from

Greetz!
Rens
