Colin, Just wanted to echo some of the comments from other responses so far and say welcome. I've been putting together the mockups you see in NIFI-1323 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1323>. The initial goal is to modernize a bit for a nice foundation as we plan more key functionality and end-user experience improvements. Again, if you're interested we'd appreciate your opinions on that effort.
Also - I'd be interested in your results using Dreamweaver. As a designer I primarily use Adobe Illustrator, but I have access to Dreamweaver and if I could leverage it to help on the implementation/development side that'd be great.
