  * [shift]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.)
-  * Graphics Design [milo]
+  * [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
+  * 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
+  * [dev]Explanation of templates in Sophie 2
+ * Reader Application
+  * The author application contains reading functionality; the UI of this shouldn't be too different from the authoring UI. The reader application, however, needs to have its UI thought through more carefully: many of the people using Reader won't have used Sophie previously. Because it's their first introduction, it needs to be easy to use; it should also be inviting.
+(If we're planning on having Reader work in a browser as an applet, does all reader functionality need to be confined to a single window?)
