The unacknowledged problem we’re dealing with is the fact that we’re not starting with a blank sheet of paper, but rather a mature user interface that users expect, are familiar with, and has made project successful. Extending the the user interface is one thing, throwing it away is another entirely different thing. But hey, you have the user's community attention at Astricon, why not have the courage of your convictions and announce to the the unwashed masses you’re planning to do away with the dial plan?
