That is the funniest thing I've seen you write and very true.

If I were a designer I would be printing out every screen on paper laying on the floor, getting out the white board, having a brain storm, getting out the De Bono (maybe some beer) the design team, some outside commentators with what the Cockney Brits call 'nouse' (horse sense?) and looking at it all again.

I would begin by determining what are it's core functions and strip away everything else - just so I could see the wood for the trees. In writing there is a term known as "Killing your darlings". This means even if you spent so much of your precious time on this paragraph (or code) on this or that, if it's not needed it goes.


I've suggested many times there should be a sort of beta test for rewriting all the help files, menu's, floating tips, all of that stuff. PGM could ask for volunteers, each person gets assigned one section, it gets submitted, they put it all together and then publish it for evaluation. It might take a year but with all of us working together we could clean this up.
