In the early days of the Lumiera project, there was an extended debate regarding
GUI concepts and -features, including many proposals from the community.
Bearing in mind that we have meanwhile gained a clearer understanding what wee
need to build for the GUI, this _brainstorming phase_ is completed.
However, a more focused discussion regarding »Workflow«

GUI Brainstorming::
We got a lot of proposed cool features. In order to channel this great influx of ideas,
we set up a wiki page to allow basically open proposals. *Joel Holdsworth*, our GUI developer
at that time, performed the herculean task to walk through this tremendous pile of entries,
consolidate them and conduct a discussion. The link:GuiBrainstormingReviewed.html[GUI Brainstorming page]
documents the discussion and some conclusions. Several proposals were sorted out -- it might be
inspiring to look on the reasons why we

GUI Proposals::
In addition, several people contributed complete or focussed concepts and design proposals

Feature discussion::
Some topics spurred some heightened interest and (controversial) discussion

Timeline Discussion::
In 2008, Joel reviewed all the available proposals and distilled a more coherent vision
especially about the timeline, which certainly is at the heart of any video editor. +
