Notes tab for novice divers

[Dirk Hohndel]

So how does one trigger a switch to the "advanced" version? What if the first time you use Subsurface, you download from a dive computer?
I'm trying to understand the logic when we show which UI...

In general, having two different UIs for different users makes me a bit nervous. More to test, more to maintain, more to get wrong. But I see the value in the simpler layout... I would, however, for consistency keep rating and tags below the people you dove with...

This is the sort of information that is likely to be important for such a diver who would not really wish or need to access any of the other tabs on the Notes panel. The natural trend would be for such a diver to get a dc and gradually start using some of the other facilities of Subsurface. But even without any natural progression this UI should in itself allow or encourage long term use of Subsurface: no technical complexities and the diver would be likely to use most or all of the contents on the tab because it is a minimal dive log.
