Some of the stuff that came out of the the ZMI BOF at Python 10:
- ensuring that people remember the ZMI is more than just a management 
interface, we should be able to interact easily with Zope through different 
protocols
- the ZMI remains skinnable and as such the base / default ZMI / ZopeTop 
should be functional, basic, simple and cross platform. If we make it easy to 
skin the ZMI then people can install new skins that use CSS, Flash, DHTML or 
look like Plone.

Nothing pisses off new users more than not being able to use the tools they 
already have. For example the many comments regarding IE.

Dropping support for Netscape 4 shouldn't really be a huge issue because I 
don't believe the *standard* skin shouldn't be complicated enough to cause 
that to be an issue.
