It may sound completely odd, but each time someone suggests a cleanup
patch, I discover a load of drastic changes in my working copies (there
are multiple), that conflict with it. This time it's about finishing
the "tags" epic feature by implementing a free-text access control
(RackCode, to be particular). I'm afraid, that the priority of this
feature is quite high and beyond my control, but as soon as tested and
released (in a matter of a week, I guess), it's going to significantly
change things. However, your suggestion above has been merged in a
slightly different way (see the buildRedirectURL() function in current
trunk) and will be eventually used as a standard code pattern.
I would like to release the next tags-driven version as 0.16.0 and to
expect a couple of cleanup-focused releases in 0.16 line after that.
This settlement phase would perfectly allow focusing on the usability
issues you have pointed out. I would like to start designing the 2D maps
feature at the same time.
Thank you.
