Hi Jacob,

I edited the JIRA issue related to the re-design of the Infusion Builder 
interface: http://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-3359.

I linked in the other jira issues that were css and design related, just 
to make it easier for you to refer to comments and suggestions noted 
during the last round of QA. I'm pretty sure you've already thought 
about these comments already, but was just hoping to make sure they are 
addressed if possible.

You and I had a quick chat about two weeks ago about converting the 
design into javascript. I do have some accessibility questions about the 
interface design, but I'm not sure they can be resolved until the 
javascript version is done. Is it possible to create a small example 
that we can test for accessibility now, or is it just as easy for you to 
do the full conversion for us to test?
