Re: [libreoffice-design] Hi everybody!

Hi Paulo,

your arrival is realy promising. I'm myself on this list about a month I think.

I have some ideas for Libreoffice which I will first talk with Christoph on Fosdem about, because 
apperently there is a big big system behind it, which I don't know yet.
But You are the men.

But anyway: 
I think that your knowledge in UX. This Knowledge and enthuisasm could provide us with a hole new 
better and improved UI System for Libreoffice.

If anyone out there thinks now, that noooooo don't change anything or there are some people who 
like the actual UI.... Yes I am aware of this ;)

If anyone wants to know more about my idea, I would be please to talk to him. But I think for the 
Mailinglist I need to work on it a little bit more and talk to Christoph.

Mike
