Hi Gerald,

ok, i copy this to GitHub, we keep it for future little project.
Please don't to it ;) In this case there is no hurry, so let me try
when I will be a little less stressed.

Also the preference is cool. I don't use much the icons at the bottom
I think i prefer the "drawer semantic".

I am not putting much stuff in github because unfortunately we can't
have labels and i fear the explosion of a super mess mixing proposals,
silly bugs, bad bugs, docs-to-do, doc-to-fix etc.

bye
Nicola
