What would I want from My Stuff? Well, the most simple and intuitive interface possible. I’d want a quick and easy way to get to my stuff in as few clicks as possible. So something more like this:
A simple table format enabling me to sort my stuff by title, tag, description and last update. The means to download one or multiple items and things like that.
Kinda like the simplicity of iTunes, Google Docs, Gmail, Outlook etc.
But am I a typical user?

Guy,
I agree that the idea of not have to scroll down a lot and being able to see a reasonable slice of your portfolio, rather than only a few entries at a time is more ‘intuitive’ than the interface in release 1.0 that we have installed at Glasgow, which is rather clunky and requires large amounts of scrolling to find what you want.

Hi James, what are you using in Glasgow? You refer to ‘release 1′ - is that The OU My Stuff or some other system? Guy.
