  * Timelines
   * ''Interaction and Graphics Design'' - The way timelines were done in Sophie 1 wasn't wonderful and could probably be reworked. One issue: in Sophie 1, every frame on a page had a timeline halo that was dragged to the timeline to move the frame to the timeline. (The frame itself wasn't dragged because the author presumably had positioned the frame on the page first.) This got the job done but it was confusing: most of the other halos did not behave in this way.

+ * Embedded books
   * The way embedded books were handled in Sophie 1 - particularly the editing of embedded books - was confusing and needs to be rethought. (This has not been implemented in Sophie 2 yet.)
   * [milo]Graphics Design 
   * Interaction Design - The main issue here is the problem of focus: you can have two books on the screen at once. In the Sophie 1 design, there was confusion because it wasn't clear what the status bar controls referred to (almost always the parent book, I think) and what the content of the palettes referred to (usually the selected book). [dev]We could probably darken the parent book when an embedded book is selected to show which one can be edited in the moment.
- * [shift]Templates
+ * Templates
   * The idea of page templates is confusing to a lot of people; a way to implement this that would be quickly understandable would be fantastic. In Sophie 1, users ended up having to spend a lot of time in the page structure palette figuring out which elements on the page were part of the page template
