Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: Re: [libreoffice-design] Motif draft

Hi Nik,

I would love to be involved but unfortunately I still feel that I don't
fully understand what is desired in the motif (what is the end
deliverable).  Of course, design is not my main background (mechanical
engineering is) so hopefully once design proposals go up I can contribute.
I look forward to seeing motif's!

Cheers,
Jaron
