It should be added that writing a complete GUI for a professional App is
no small task, so we are glad if anyone starts this GUI thing. Naturally,
the one volunteering first gets many opportunities to shape the whole application
which is emerging, and his work has good chances to become "the" GUI. But this
doesn't mean that we couldn't have several GUIs, e.g. one simple and one
with many bangs and whistles. As long as we keep clean interfaces and sort
of a common understanding of terms and procedures, and don't end up in
a war of competing GUIs, we'll be fine...
Cheers,
Hermann

PS :We especially invite people involved in (professional or ambitious amateur)
video/film editing to participate in the GUI design, even if they can't code
themselves, because those are our primary intended audience
