A lot of work.. but has there been any consideration into redesigning<br>
the web UI? Right now it's so complex and heavy, takes a while to load<br>
and too many features are hidden! I've been using oVirt for half a<br>
year.. and I'm still finding small useful things hidden here and there.<br>

Can you provide more details on issues you're seeing, and suggestions for a future approach?<br>

But if for example you look at the Foreman UI, everything is categorized and if for example you want to modify X it's right there under the obvious menu option. </div>

The general feel, maybe it's just my setups but the login process always takes between 30-90 seconds, probably to load all the javascript etc. A simple HTML + jquery approach similar to Openstack / Foreman would be much cleaner experience. </div>
