Hi Aaron, Looks good. I'd like the default theme shipped with the next major release to be redone. It's quite long in the tooth. This would be a good start. What do you think about having the default theme shipped be similar to the vcl.apache.org site for consistency?
I like how the management links are much less prominent. I like to see the overall organization of things be reworked for the next release -- with things centered around a single page to manage your reservations including the combination of the New Reservations and Current Reservations pages. Administrative/management functions should be hidden most of the time and much less prominent. There are some topics related to this which would be more appropriate for the dev list but regarding jQuery, how do you think it compares to Dojo with respect to VCL? Any pros/cons you can think of?
