Pluggable UI and job UI are feature requirements that we need to implement,=
 I guess Sonny would like the feedbacks about general UIX ideas.

Maybe I'm a too boring person, I actually like how Microsoft Outlook naviga=

o allow per-user UI profile? Allow creating customized UI profile, providin=
g UI profile persistence so that people can always go back to where he was =
