Frankly, I'm a little dismayed to hear that you think that one of the goals of Mozreview is to modify people's workflows. The primary problem with our existing review system isn't that it doesn't involve some more "modern" review idiom (leaving aside the question of whether it is in fact more modern), but rather that the UI is bad and that it's a lot less powerful than existing review tools, including those that enact basically the same design (cf. Rietveld). Speaking purely for myself, I'd be a lot happier if mozreview involved less nudging and morphing and more developing of basic functionality. -Ekr > We're constantly surprised by all the one-off workflows and needs people > have and the reactions to a seemingly benign change.
