Re: RFC: Hob 1.2 design

["Barros Pena, Belen" <belen.barros.pena@intel.com>]

Just to clarify: videos show relevant functionality to a specific design
piece. The fact that a video does not show something it doesn't mean the
functionality has gone away. If I showed everything on each video they
would be very very long (and very very boring) videos.  I hope this
explains. 

Given the time constraints we have, the little design documentation I am
producing is incomplete. Therefore, it is very important that if you have
any questions, doubts, thoughts, feedback, general comments etc about the
Hob UI, you get in touch with me. Even if the question sounds very small
or trivial: that's what I am here for.

Cheers

Belen
