At the dev day in Reno, Mitcho worked on a patch for active/inactive states on the buttons on the WPMenus screen. Basically, it makes the button to add to menu inactive unless you’ve selected something to add. nice.

Trac UI challenge:
Probably not that much of a challenge, necessarily, but would need approved mockups for someone to want to start a patch. Collapsible page hierarchy on edit.php?post_type=page. -

Visual design and CSS peeps: can you go weigh in on this on the ticket? Underline vs border-bottom in admin links. http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/15700

Here are my initial thoughts: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/15700#comment:2

Definitely agree with Sara. I’m a big advocate of using CSS rather than HTML elements to style. Underline, italicize, bold, etc should all be done via CSS. I’ve been using text-decoration a lot more than just border-* lately.

I think you are confused – no one was implying a use of HTML elements for styling

Underline is intrinsic to text elements, whereas border-bottom could be inadvertently applied to images wrapped in an anchor.

Ticket #15942 - Username vs. Email for Identifying Users
Reported Problem: “When I create a new blog in a network, I am asked to enter the Admin Email. This is rather useless to me because all our accounts come from an LDAP directory. So I have to remember the site admin’s email address, which is not always consistent across my organization. It would be nicer if I had an autocomplete-style field where I could enter the user’s ID.”
The issues of selecting existing users vs. adding new users and doing so by email address vs. username touches more admin interactions than just this one. We’ll need to address it as a whole rather than just focusing on this one person’s complaint, but using this ticket as a starting point for discussion.

Why not combine them? Facebook style auto-complete on either username or email address

This is probably on y’alls list already, but I was reminded today how weak the blue stylesheet feels and looks in the admin versus the grey one.
It’d be worth cleaning it up, and also expanding it to a few other colors, maybe 5-6 total, for the fully customized experience. And I hope one of them is pink.

Yep, it’s planned for 3.1. We could get started on that now, though, so it doesn’t accidentally fall by the wayside. Probably a good idea.

Pretty cool. Seems so obvious…
