[QUOTE="Mynex, post: 19138, member: 2136"] It's not assigned to any one coder in particular. All the coders are taking an active interest in imprvoving the UI. Already the Feat and Domains tab have been completed, and the Equipment tab should be done for this weeks release as well. Yes, the original UI is clunky and hard to use, it was designed by one person for his personal usage (Merton Monk), and he put it up at Source Forge to see what would happen... well a bit over a year later, you can see what's happened! There isn't a character software generator out there that supports even 1/10 of what PCGen does (and if there is, I've not heard of it yet, and some of the ones I have seen charge!). The documentation and website are getting a facelift as well, so soon, very soon, PCGen will have a much smoother, intuitive look to it. The GUI is the big drive right now, so it shouldn't be much longer before the 1st pass (making it look cleaner) is done. The 2nd pass is to ad more functionality (such as a pop up window for placing equipment on a character!). The documentation will be in a 3 varieties, HTML format with a spiffy little navigation system, a plain text format for printing out, and a PDF format that will look all slick and professional! The website as well should be done soon, PackAlpha is the guy that's heading that up and promises the site to be more user friendly and easy to get around in! And there is starting to gain momentum to add more features for the DM's tab... so there's a lot going on with PCGen to make it an overall great, FREE product. [/QUOTE]
