[wp-design] Molly talks about WP2

[Joen Asmussen]

Well, as much as I want to tear it all down and building it anew, I do 
feel we should mold what we have now into 2.1. While I have reservations 
about color here and there, the important aspects, the user experience 
with tabs, pods and so on is properly in place. Make no mistake, that's 
what's most important.

On a sidenote I just remembered... in the current 2.0, the default write 
page has all pods collapsed. I was expecting a well thought out default 
configuration with the most relevant and used pods open and topmost -- 
we should stress this for 2.1.

So, tomorrow I'll go over the write page and do some things to it.
