Re: [libreoffice-design] Using a Gallery table in the wiki to provide design resources?

Hi Bernhard,

I think it is a great idea!  It worked really well on the OOo wiki and I
think it will work again!

Agreed.  It should be explicit what objects in the gallery are "official"
and which ones are "unofficial" designs so that marketing can make really
good use of the area.  (We keep getting lots of questions on the design list
about different resources.)

Agreed.  It seems right now design is okay with sending links or making
temporary wiki pages for current projects (motif for example).

Perhaps I will have more constructive feedback when the page starts to take
shape.
