Re: [libreoffice-design] Design Team Kick-Off Step 4: Organizing our Work

Hi all,

Looking over Bernhard's table, it looks to me very complete . I
especially like the part about being the advocates for the silent users.
I know it is hard to contact our users, the download is anonymous, so it
is very important that some of us try to take the role of ordinary
users. This will help us meet their needs.

Should some be tapped for this role and how should they be selected?
Should they be super users or people who use LO more like ordinary
people would use it at home, work, or school?

Possibly part of this would be covered in documents help MS Office users
transition to LO. It is not a user manual but a manual that highlights
the similarities and differences between the two. An experienced Word or
Excel user would like to know how to find features when the menu layouts
are different. This will be more of an issue with users who have only
used the ribbon and not a traditional menu.

I would be willing to work on some this.
