Top 10 Flare issues

This is a fairly arbitrary list - each item needs a discussion. It is neither a top 10 Best or Worst - just stuff that has to be thought through. I've put some things together just to limit it to 10.
  1. Interface and Editing.
    - layout, XML editor, those bars, other editors, multi-tabs open.
    - HTML, hyperlinks, cross-references.
  2. Word
    - import and export
    - round trip.
  3. CSS, Skins, and Dynamic HTML.
    - the CSS editor, Flare custom styles.
    - print, screen, Word mediums.
    - togglers, and drop-downs.
  4. Templates and project set-up.
    - project templates, topic templates.
    - master pages
    - sharing information between projects.
  5. Targets, TOCs, Destinations, Compiling, and Reports.
    - include merged projects.
    - log files.
  6. Indexing, Browse Sequences, Glossaries, Searching.
    - the good, the bad, and the ugly.
  7. CSH - Context Sensitive Help.
    - who should do this - developers or writers, or both.
    - header files, alias files
    - use a URL call or a javascript call.
  8. Snippets, Variables, Conditions.
    - single source.
    - distinguish content by choosing tp set conditions, or place in snippets.
  9. Images, and Sound
    - resolution
    - sharing between print and screen
    - screen captures
    - recording
    - discuss other Madcap tools.
  10. Source control.
    - multi-user support
    - manual or bind a project.
    - issues about networks or local drives.
