...and here we have one of the difficulties of this project, and one of
the reasons why I said recently that Nokia's problems were more related
to execution than to the quality of the raw materials at their disposal.

Leinir's idea sounds OK. Perhaps the person responsible for the UX
design will even agree that it's OK.

But even if the best placed person in the technical UX project agreed,
the chances that it could be changed at this point, when we find out
about it, are slim. The costs now would be much higher than if the
change were proposed & made several months ago. But because the UX
interfaces are being developed and specced behind closed doors, and we
discover finished code which we are expected to "patch" (as opposed to
"write"), everyone ends up frustrated.

Now I'm not even attaching a whole lot of importance to this particular
thing. But it is evidence, if anyone were looking for some, for the
inherent difficulties in developing open source software as a private
project.

Cheers,
Dave.
