[Bf-interface] The UI side of the asset project

[Jonathan Williamson]

Good proposal Julian, I agree. Being a really big task we'll have to keep
the discussion in control, so as to avoid too many *design by committee *
problems.

Keeping the UI development mostly separate should help, but only to a
certain extent. Let's just be sure not to hold up Bastien's progress with
UI tasks :)

Julian, since it sounds like you've talked with Bastien a bit more than I
have (not at all) on the asset project, could you handle creating the
initial UI-related tasks and then we can go from there?
