Here are notes I took from our usability discussion, please add or 
remove comments I missed.

For Venue Client:

* Merge node and participant heading, just participants
* Merge "Edit" and "My Node" menu items into one called "Preferences" 
* Change CTRL short cuts
* Make the twist buttons show up in the tree on Windows (wxBug...)
* Make the text field not editable, focus on message field instead
* Clearer text to show where you are, venue name under menu over address
* Should be able to tear off text chat
* Audio and video buttons instead of My Node Window (audio-start-stop etc)
* Services and Applications should be combined to one
* Personal data should be shown in a dock as well as under participants
* The contents tree should be split up into tabs that you can tear off
* Exits take up too much space
* Improve navigation, be able to "look ahead"
* Separate menus for headings and actual items
* Be able to double click items
* About dialog should have editable fields not just an image

For Venue Management:

* Administrators for venues
* menu bar with at least help, about, and quit items
