    Here's what I can think of for the "Multiple Actions" that can be taken
    from the scratchpad. But would it be useful? (Users, please let us know!)
    Articles:
    - publish/submit
    - delete
    - unlock
    - schedule for automatic publishing
    - duplicate
    - translate

    Article single actions (how?):
    - view article
    - view attached images
    - view topics
    - view schedule

    Images/Multimedia:
    - attach to current article
    - delete

    Image Single Actions:
    - view
    - edit metadata

    Topics (?):
    - assign to current article
    - delete

    This looks nice. We also need a place for actions on the entire
    article: publish/submit, preview, delete, translate, duplicate, unlock.
    This would have to be outside of the tabs.

    The tabs would be: article, images, topics, automatic publishing.

    Yes, thats much better!

    I would love to have our own icons. Just send me a new set, and I will
    add them! Smile

    I think this current screenshot would look fine without the logo.
    However, I do think the logo should be in there somewhere. The only
    thing I can think of to put at the top would be the list of articles
    that are going to be published or have recently been published. This is
    similar what this area is used for in LiveSupport.

    Also, do we want to use the same color scheme as LiveSupport? I think
    it would be more obvious that we were in a different application if we
    used different colors.
