Kicking the tires on the UX toolkit

[Clay Fenlason]

We do not have a designer on the project, no, and so that would be

to the question was "Good luck with that").  But that's a separate
issue I wouldn't want to distract from the matter of a direction in
which the Fluid documentation might usefully expand.
