Hey,
first of all the TeaSpeak team wishes you all a happy and healthy Easter!
I'm also glad to announce the first TeaSpeak design contest.

The challenge
This contest is all about the upcoming file browser/transfer UI for the TeaSpeak web/native client.
Your challenge is to develop a modern, clean and responsive GUI which will be the basis for the new file browser.
Your design must fit the, later following requirements as well be suitable for the current client.
Other than these requirements you're free to bring in your own ideas regardless of the current implementations within TeaSpeak or any other software. But please, if you're having any breaking features in mind, contact us, before actually implementing them, juts to ensure they're technically possible. So don't be afraid of any complex, multidimensional menus; design them and we will tackle the task to implement them!
