> Hi everyone,
>
> The GlassFish admin console team has been working hard on ways to
> simplify our development, while at the same time attempting to improve
> the experience of using the console. We have created a prototype which
> shows a couple different designs we are considering... we'd like your
> feedback on what you think of it. Here's how you can help:
>
> * Try the working prototype at: http://63.227.208.233:9999/admingui/
> * Respond to this email or to my blog that I am about to write about
> this (http://blogs.sun.com/paulsen). I think Jason and Anissa
> will probably write too (http://blogs.steeplesoft.com/ or
> http://blogs.sun.com/anilam/).
>
> Here are some things we are particularly interested in feedback on:
>
> * Do you like/dislike the menus?
> * Do you like/dislike the tree?
> * Do you like/dislike the tagging feature?
>
> Of course all other comments are also welcome (what's missing? what do
> you really like? what do you dislike? etc.). We know there are many
> issues with this UI, it is an early prototype -- far from production
> ready. Some major issues we're aware of:
>
> * Many broken button clicks (particularly posts that don't do a
> redirect)
> * Performance -- it's not good right now, it will be MUCH better
> when it's not a prototype (note: it also doesn't help that this
> prototype is running on a small desktop machine over a DSL-line...
> ;) ).
> * Many pages are broken (some intentionally for the public demo,
> others are simply not implemented)
> * List of tagged pages can sometimes show duplicates
> * Ajax for updating tags and other portions of the screen is not
> implemented
> * Breadcrumbs do not exist
>
> So... as you can see we're not looking for bugs, but rather general
> feedback on the navigation and L&F. Thanks for taking a look!
