[wp-design] Molly talks about WP2

[khaled Abou Alfa]

Right Ok, I like the discussion and it's good that we're talking again and
thinking for the future. I'll try and address as many points as I can right
now and then throughout the day. The first point however I should mention is
that we should be CONCENTRATING on the dashboard and the login page.

Forget the write page, and the navigation, as that's common throughout the
design we'll have a chance to tweak this throughout the month. The main
impentus this should be surrounding the login page and the dashboard.

So far regarding the latest versions, I've heard it's too blue and therefore
overwhelming. Point made, how does Mike, Matt and Ryan feel about the amount
of blue? It's a different direction for sure. Remember the amount of times
any user sees this page are limited and yet it's a very important page
because it's also the first page that we actually see.

I've done a couple of more mock ups and I'll concentrate on going in a
different direction completely for future mock ups and actually use
different colours so that we have a few options to choose from. Anyone else
have anything to share? Bryan?

Regarding making it public, I think it's imperative that we do, but as Joen
said, this is what we're aiming for 2.1 for the future we could do???? Too
soon to talk about it but I was fully intending to talk about posting our
designs and thoughts once this month was over and all the work we did
throughout was complete. So I'm pretty happy with that.

Icons, well I've actually started sketching some things. Whether we use them
or not is besides the point, at least there's some action going on here,
since it's pretty important that we have something ready. We'll see how it
goes.

As for the write page, guys seriously we'll get to that next week. Patience.
This is part of the reason it's taken us this long, we all get excited and
side tracked :) (I'm guilty as everyone else). Let's focus our energies
right here and now.
