Some ideas for the UI, that are missing/wrong in current newsreader
implementations:
- treeview with multiple roots (servers)
I think a common list, combining newsgroups and articles from all
configured servers, helps more. It could be augmented with the
possibility to organize newsgroups into user-defined folders.
- HIG compliant
- easy to use; I want my mom to be able to use to :) - minimalistic
features; it's a newsreader not a nuclear plant...
Pan is supposed to get a database-driven backend (well, not Oracle, some
lighter stuff, but still SQL) which is said to help performance a lot.
Hopefully, the race conditions that Pan's current homegrown database has
will disappear during the rewrite. Maybe GNOME NR could use that and plug
a different UI on it. Sounds like good code being reused to me, and it's
being written anyway...
Anyway, I'm happy to hear someone is thinking of this. I like Pan a lot
because I came from Gravity, but it still has lots of room for
improvement, and a fresh start on clean slate might produce the better UI
design.
