Dan, where did these originate from. E.g. I'm not so sure on some, like:
  1. Logout cosmetics. Really minor, but Log Out looks odd in our 21st digital century
  2. Views renamed to Filter? I think we've touched this several times, with user ivolvement even.
  3. Reset/Clear removed from artifact types. Strongly disagree on this one. The ultimate goal was to have a reset icon there, the text link is there only due to time constraints.

Just saw original Jackie's thread. Let's route our comments here.

1. On Log Out vs. Logout---one is a verb, the other is an adjective. For example, you have a logout screen, which you use to log out. Many sites and applications have the wrong word up there, and it's just a pet peeve of mine. If you want it to look more modern, I suggest we change it to Sign Out as it is in the gmail app.

2. I'm fine with View if that's where your discussions took you. I would suggest that you change it from Views to View, though, as you can't select more than one view at a time.

3. The idea was to not to remove the [Show All] link but to move it to the first option in the list and rename it to All Artifacts. If you want to keep it where it is, please unbold it so that it's consistent with similar links, and leave the heading "By Artifact Type".

4. One more point: I think we should scrap my suggestion to add a heading over the actions at the top of the registry nav pane. It would make it more consistent, but it would also just take up vertical space. That section is a little different from the rest of the UI anyway because it uses icons, and the icons help the actions stand alone without a heading.

We've implemented a lot of these. Moving to Backlog though as we're through with all the ones we'll implement for 1.1.
