Tired now. Tomorrow the sprint continues at Sony. See you there! (#drupal-dev on IRC)

We're considering using drupal for a new electrical business that we are starting here in New Zealand. This has helped cement my ideas about it. Thanks!

@Danny Concannon, you've never sat beside someone who knew nothing about the things you do, and watched them try to post something/anything on Drupal, have you?
I wish this was available for D6.

UI
Interesting. But I'm wondering how you'll make the UI clean and clear? Here are some thoughts.
Right now, the select already takes a lot of vertical space. Plus, it seems it will list all local files in the hierarchy the same way core's default Taxonomy select does, i.e., a sucky way.
Last but not least, how will you list all selected files? I.e. the ones from local, YouTube, Flickr, slideshare and whatnot? You'll want the users to have a simple overview.
I think that Hierarchical Select is a good first step. Just look for a second at how it renders when in "dropbox mode", there's demo available (you'll want the second one). I think that'd be a good way to listing the different sources of files: "Youtube > some channel > movie name", "local > this > is > a > folder > hierarchy > filename" and so on. We could replace the source name with a logo.
I'm not sure, but maybe it's even a perfect match for this use case? It needs less screen estate. And when users want bigger selects, they can just resize it.
Less "UI constructs" or "widgets" or "elements" or whatever you call it, is always better!
That was the very first mockup
It has been rethought of several times, and currently this is the latest mockup, which is also under review as well.
The thing is, we're still narrowing down the functionalities/information that we will be providing with this, so this will change in the future. Also, this is just a proof of concept, basically I'm trying to help the developers visualize it, since nothing is final yet.
So yes, there has and will be talk about how to best organize the data, whether we will be using modal windows, or you name it. Input is very welcome, please read the thread in groups.drupal.org and give your input. Let's make it the best and most useful that we can!
