I think by "casual" we are referring to people who want to search for and retrieve content, upload and share content, and participate in discussions. We are not referring to Freenet developers and testers, who will probably need to continue to use FProxy. > And also, if the aim is to target all casual users (from newbie to > advanced), > how will this be acheived?

If Google can do it (and Google's UI is one of the inspirations for the new mockup) then I think we can too. I think the difference is that designing the UI properly requires a lot more thought than the previous approach, which was basically to create the fastest and most obvious UI layer to expose the functionality we had implemented. To put it another way, good UIs are designed starting with the user and working backwards. FProxy was designed more-or-less from the back forward.
