Yes the Web interface is really important. users don't care or want to know
what magic is going on in the backend. They want to be able to find what is
important and what they are looking for quickly and easily. And yes graphics
are an important part of this. I always try to reach the compromise of good
looking easy to use site with a good dload time but it's not always
possible. Luciky most connects to the site here are from corpo lans so I
don't have to worry to much about home users. But normally a h user can
still access the site with a decent response. Anyhow straying. I am okay at
it if I can give advice.
I am wondering if we should all pool to gether and examine getting a site
together and also maybe grouping ppl on the list who have special interest
or in certain areas. Then all posts colud have in their subject line
[webdev] Interface , [Webdev] Java etc etc
Just an idea so that we don't wates our time looking at posts that have no
use to us or where we know nothing about.
