Re: [libreoffice-design] Kicking Off the LibreOffice Design Team

Hi @ll,

I'm new here, at the international "design"-list, Christoph invited me 
(see step 1 below ;-)). User support (at the German mailing list) was my 
main task for a long OOo-time. Now I want to support LibreOffice, may be 
by undertaking new tasks.
I'm very interested in User Experience related topics to bring more real 
users real experiences in further development.

For me this point is very important, because I'm a newbie here. And some 
others, too ...
I'm very interested to read more about the reasons and the expected 
benefits from "unifying" Visual Design and User Experience related topics.

This is the other point, I'm very interested in.

Of course! ;-)
