Hey Christoph! :)

I can't imagine. The once time I passed by something like that was when 
I stayed away from internet during one month and my inbox almost 
exploded! :) huahauahaua Now I laugh... just NOW. :P

Well, thank you! I'm learning English by my own account, so it's good to 
know that I'm on the right way. And you're right, who would believe?

Oh, it is very cool! I'm grateful for the nice words in your text and 
your effort to prepare the images! :D At least in In my notebook it 
takes a lot to just move a simple icon of 256px... :O
I'm anxious to see the community feedback, even my contribution been 
little :) But it's how you said, the whole team done a great work! "As 
Florian would say ... *You all rock!"*

Well, I'm in! :D But answer your question is a bit hard... 'cause I 
actually have a blog, but it's a Shania Twain Fans Blog... :P :P ¬¬
Of course you mean a personal blog... (sorry, I could not to hold on). 
So, no, I have not a blog. I'm posting my workflow in my wiki user page 
currently. What do you suggest?

Good point, its true! I also had through about it (not too deep I admit) 
and I was tinking about that the last action performed by this dialog 
could be displayed when you call it again (I don't know if I make myself 
understandable).
But you give me great idea (thank you!!!!!) right now! Maybe we can show 
the last actions performed in the first step just like shortcuts. [I'll 
discuss better about it in the appropriate topic to not pollute this one]

Yeah, it's an important thing to keep on mind! I hope these people can 
help us, it would be great! :D

Thank you and everybody n this team! I'm very happy that everything is 
happen so fast. :) Its a bit scary actually. hahahaha
