i don't think its a problem of priority. it's a problem because there are very
few (currently 3: davisagli, vangheem and me) regularly contributing to mockup
and actually working with javascript. yes from sprint to sprint we have few
dropping a line or two to fix bugs and progress showed, but after the sprint
we're back to previous pace, which is we're going to have plone 5 ready in
2016.

so if i would be worried about something it wouldn't be the UI or if those
icons are going to make sense or how the damn toolbar would look like, but i'm
worried if we have enough people to even get the "crappy" version of UI out.


nice javascript day to all of you. enough of depressing emails, time to surf.

p.s. if somebody want to learn javascript and at the same time contribute to
plone 5 i'm (still) giving (if required) everybody a personal tour around
mockup's code to speed up learning process.
