Re: [libreoffice-design] Designing a LibO Motif

Hullo Design!

After taking into consideration some concerns raised by Christoph and 
Ivan here,
I'll be reviewing the schedule for the Design motif task, most probably 
to extend to the middle of next month (March).
I'll post an updated schedule and update the wiki page tomorrow;
