Product Concept
We will (nearly) completely redesign the user interface of the database
application. Most notably, the database access functionality will be promoted to
an own top-level application. Additionally, the parts of the user interface
which currently expose technical details the average user is not interested in
will be reworked, so that we meed her in her own vocabulary of concepts. This
includes data source administration, error handling, and form design and usage.
