If a UI overhaul wins out, do you have an estimated time frame?
Haven't a clue at this point. It's a pretty big task. All new javascript libraries, scriptalicious or YUI (possibly YUI because I'm more familiar with it working on a few other things). So all the javascript related stuff will be redone, while adding new things, lightbox, WYSIWYG editor, etc.
Then there's the layout itself, moving towards more CSS control, coming up with the new skinning system, etc.
That's why we might brake it down into 2 chunks. Control Panel first, and then front end second.
Once we find out for sure which way we're going, then we'll get a better plan of attack.
