I used to sit sort of in the IT department where I used to work (quasi-freelance these days), and all the USB ports were disabled in all the machines, and none of the machines had CD drives.

Most networks are pretty poorly set up in my experience.

The idea's neat provided it doesn't feel like a Mozilla icon at the end.

The implication is that the male variety of the SMF team are not "real men".
Being honest? My first thought was "When did Mozilla buy us out?" It reminds me very firmly of Firefox/Thunderbird.

No, more like we're not the whiny-ass hypocritical 'men' in the strictest Darwinian sense. Speaking of which... I'm sure Survival of the Fittest has to kick in before long...

Seriously though, the direction we're going for with Wedge is the 'I want to go somewhere' tone. Not the slightly wishy-washy trying to please everyone tone that I felt with the SMF stuff. We are not trying to cater to all things, we are not trying to be the tool for every occasion.

Note the reason Ahtalkanus has a Dev badge as opposed to a Core Dev badge, that's the principle difference. That, and that Dev rather than Core Dev was also TE's position for a long time as he looked after converters rather than the core.
Interestingly Bloc used to be on the dev team, with a Dev (rather than Core Dev) badge when he initially designed Curve.

Well, my girlfriend suggested we look at the font on condom packets, on the theory that that's for real men!

Nao did explain where that came from, I'm tempted to suggest it should be "SMF for anti-hypocrits" or similar :P
Invent your own! Heck, even use my byline - "Innovate, not Imitate" - if you like.

I guess the spartan nature of Chrome is why it appeals to me, it lets me do what I want to do with least fuss.

Ahtalkanus is allegedly on the team as a designer and by his own admission is not a strong programmer.
Norv's had commit rights to the converters branch since even before I left the team, which I thought was somewhat awkward.
As for the display template, I've been trying to figure out how I want to split that up since I think it does need to be split up.

I'm in the midst of polishing up the Bad Behavior implementation (for stopping bad bots and spammers) and won't commit until I'm all done because it's pretty intricate - also means I probably won't review those patches until I'm ready to commit.
Seems to me there's a lot of purely style tweaks when the dev time would be better spent fixing bugs.
