I thought that was the reason for setting up something like Ideatorrent?
At least, it is already listed on the Drupal development pages ... for
any further implementation, we (in terms of Design team, in this case:
the UX design) should make sure to be heard by the development.

Good point by the way, I will ask on the dev list how many developers
are "lurking" on this list, too. It would be great if some people could
help to point out some noteworthy discussions here and there.

Yes. The long term plan is "planned", as far as I know (at least to some
extend, since we cannot put pressure on anybody to work on certain
issues).

But, Andrew, concerning your proposal: I'd like to discuss your idea
again ... in a few weeks, once LibO 3.3 is released (and thus, some
people have a bit more time). I prepared a mail some days ago to ask the
development to work with us to harmonize much of the branding stuff and
to bring some "fresh" air into LibO. This is based on what I've seen in
the past, e.g.:

Ivan, do you remember? :-)

Cheers,
Christoph
