I don't see it as negative. Also I don't think that I am (cap)able to 
implement all these functional wishes/changes. They need to be thinked 
about by users/developers together. I also don't think it is good to do 
all this work we discussed in a single project. There will be a 
separation of technology and functionality. First should concentrate in 
implementing a kernel (stable ground), that is capable of our 'future' 
wishes/changes/capabilities. And secondly we need to implement the more 
functional/workflow part.

The first part needs to know the directions of the second part (vision). 
This vision should be clear upfront, but not in details.
