RE: [libreoffice-design] RE: Help Sought: LibreOffice UI Alternation Experiement - Acadamic Project

Hi Daniel, hi all the UI guys ;-)

Daniel, thanks for offering help ... I think this is a great chance for
both the students and LibreOffice as well. From my personal
point-of-view, it would be very interesting to hear a bit more "on
list".

Oh, and the sender of this mail doesn't seem to be subscribed to the
mailing list - so I had to moderate them. That is the reasons for:
a) forwarding your mail to the new guys, and
b) kindly asking them to subscribe.

The mailing list links for subscriptions can be found here:

Being curious ... kind regards,
Christoph
