I was/am playing with Mrinal's branch of the new UI. I took his HTML file with the sidebars and started customizing it to be able to handle messages, get contacts, etc. Without a real good HTML validator / editor, I've been hardcoring it with a text editor. Real stone-age development. I got so far that I was seeing tag cloud with the new environment. With the JQuery accordian (http://jquery.bassistance.de/accordion/demo/?p=1.1.1), you could probably handle the content (groups, etc.) in the sidebar. My idea was to take Bill's concept and start adding it to mrinal's html page.
I also have some free time this week - maybe we can get started with the new UI. D.
