The question about labels that was answered last week brings up an issue we've been wanting to discuss with our users for awhile. Perforce 97.3 will be an "ease of use" release; we want to make changes that will make the system easier, and more intuitive, to use. Making labels "lockable" would certainly fall into that category, since changing the user name to a non-existent user is not particularly intuitive.

We've got a fairly long laundry list of things we're thinking about implementing, but we'd like to solicit ideas from you. Where could Perforce be easier to use? What in Perforce do you find counter-intuitive? How could we improve the product?

Please post your answers to this list. We'd like to start a discussion on this.
