I don't think anybody would require idea drawings to be as polished as 
Mimi's. And you don't need to draw a screenshot! It's a screenshot of a 
real screen. Press Alt-PrtScr key (on Windows), open Paint (in 
Accessories), select Paste. There it is: a screenshot of Chandler to 
serve as a "background" for your story. You can then use the rectangle 
tool to draw a couple of squares, and the Text tool to jot down a few 
comments, just to point out what's what. Long textual descriptions of 
frames A and Tab B are really difficult to follow.

I think there has been more than one lay participant on this list who 
found him/herself quite welcomed. And *not* because they wouldn't rock 
the boat with new ideas, but because those already on the forum felt 
they could engage in a productive discussion with the newcomer and work 
together on improving Chandler in ways both big and small.
