my only concern is about *simple* preference configuration for users.
i prefer global settings to per-site ones because it is much easier to
configure; i am too lazy to change any setting until it turns out to
be a must (and i would be annoyed in this case).
Take the current site panel for example.
* encoding: it seems unavoidable, only if welly could recognize it
automatically (sounds not so crazy).
* ansi color key: does any one change that ever?
* mouse browsing: does some one prefer to use mouse only for some
sites but not for others?
* double byte detection: no idea at all. maybe a problem for very old sites.
* auto reply: does it really vary from site to site?
i wish a user could simply go through the "new site" like this:
1. default in telnet (enable to select ssh).
2. input site name (and port if necessary).
3. input user name (probably also password, and store them in keychain).
and, done!
