> 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!
