Hi!
I am very sorry for the late answer - I was really busy last week. Going
back to this topic, answering inline:

Agree with you.

Yes, very well handled discussions are #1. I'd also add few features
which I'd love to see there if possible:
* Great threading of discussions
* Labels (E.g. label for closed discussion, or implementation
discussion, or design proposals, etc) - so the users know what is
happening in the thread
* Formatting of messages (there might happen also implementation
discussion above designed solution and I wouldn't be afraid of better
formatting and letting these conversations happen there)

+1, yes.

Inline comments on images are not that necessary from my experience.

* I think also important are well handled notifications. With features
like e-mail/web based, watch/unwatch thread or similar functionality.
* It might be indirect requirement, but I see very important that the
tool is user-friendly for designers as well as developers. So I'd expect
something not that much graphical, but very well organized and effective
supporting all needs for both sides.
- I guess designers (or creative people) are not that much
demanding :). As long as it is not happening in Terminal and is well
organized, I think they can get used to very easily.
- For developers, I'd expect something not very graphic
oriented/shiny, but more efficient and good possibility of formatting
(e.g. for very short code examples).

OK, agree here.

Great, if there are folks who could help with finding best solution,
they are very welcome!
