Chad & Nadya,

Sorry for the late reply on this, I've been meaning to send some thoughts and 
finally had some time today to pull it all together :)

First off, an additional place that you should feel free to post 
wireframes/design ideas and have a discussion is on our G+ OpenStack UX page:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/100954512393463248122

We are actually hoping to move this to use Askbot in the future, but for now 
this community is still very active and you could get some reviewers there who 
might not have seen this e-mail.

As for these designs, I have a bit of feedback:
1) The addition of a high level tab for the main section of "Savanna" features 
might introduce some complications. I've been seeing a lot of developers adding 
tabs here which work if they are the only additional tab in addition to 
"Project" and "Admin", but it doesn't scale well if there are more than three 
tabs. We are trying to address this in a navigation enhancement blueprint for 
Horizon:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/navigation-enhancement

Hopefully in the Icehouse release, it will be much easier to scale out and add 
new sections at the top level, but I wonder if this would make more sense as a 
new "Panel" which would sit at the same level as "Manage Compute" under the 
current Project tab. Just an idea!

2) Currently in Horizon, there are a few "Create" modal windows where the modal 
is labeled with the action such as "Launch Instance" and the user is given one 
or more tabs of fields to fill out. The first tab is typically the "Details" 
section with the general fields that need to be filled out. There could be more 
tabs for more groups of fields as needed. If you take a look at the way the 
launch Instance modal works, I think the Job Launch/Creation modals that are 
being designed for Savanna could be more consistent with this design. This 
includes things like the "Add" button next to some of the fields. Here is a 
screenshot of the Launch Instance "Details" tab for reference:

3) This is a small point, but I just want to be sure that in the table designs 
it is expected that there would be some overall table level buttons for 
"Launch" and "Terminate" that would allow the user to click the check box for 
multiple items and select this action. I see in one of the mockups that the 
checkbox is selected, but I didn't see any buttons on top of the table, so I 
figured I would mention it.

Hopefully this helps! I'm happy to chat more about these designs in detail and 
help move them forward too. Let me know if you have any questions on my 
thoughts here.

Thanks,
Liz
