I second that. The code is easy, but its all those nagging little choices that become the pain. Good article/blog by Drew too.

Serenity's a good pick for a codename. Granted, it's comments like this from non-progs that make progs scoff but you have to understand, we have to open our mouths at least once during meetings (if only to show that we can PRETEND to know what the hell is going on.)
Nehoo. I like the lower bit in shot1.jpg where it shows blog maintenance mode. One of the things that came to mind when I first came on board GB (and read "community blog" somewhere in the intro) was that one could have a group blog along the lines of say, Idlethink or music for robots. Some blog where a bunch of friends can thrown down posts, anonymous comments ok... like an online version of a block party. With the appropriate safeguards of course, since gatecrashers can suck. The right-hand Navigation panel looks very good and very clean.
In shot2, I like that editing posts has been made easier. Is that italicised titles (well, No title, right?) I see? Will html be allowed in title fields in GB2? That's kinda cool.
Everything else, I'm excited about Serenity. Excited and just a tad anxious. It means so many things for my life online, where I spend at least a third of the time blogging - and since GB is my main blog it's a big deal to me. Not that I can help in any way substantial before the release. I guess I feel like a kid around adults huddled over a car engine discussing something beyond my ken. Maybe I can bring them their beers, but I'll keep at the sides til the thing's fixed or what and we can all get in for a fun ride to the beach for an awesome time.
I believe you can do it G-man.
Listen, there is no spoon. (:

Hey Gossip, based on the screenshots, Serenity is looking good!
Let me know when I can start annoying you with user feedback and feature requests. :)
(Read: if you want/need a beta-tester at some point, let me know.)

Will do, will do. That's quite a bit down the road, tho. :)

Happy belated birthday, BTW.
