Shane,

Where did you read that glade was deprecated?  They just released a new
version in March / Apr 2009.  If that's true, please show me where you read
that.  If we didn't use Glade to design the interface, what are you
suggesting?  OpenShot is a GTK app, and based on my experience, Glade is the
#1 easiest way interfaces are created for GTK.

We are always open to UI suggestions, Logo suggestions, and just about any
other suggestion.  But why do you feel it's necessary to make a make a new
UI?  I'm trying to have an open-mind, but that seems like it would be 2
steps backwards.

That being said, we have plenty of ideas and features that need to be
developed.  I would recommend working with Andy and me to identify the best
feature that makes sense for your skill set.  If you want to focus on the
UI, then I would recommend working on mock-ups of your ideas, and send them
to this mailing list for feedback.

Thanks!
-Jonathan
