With such a background I'm quite sure you will feel quite comfortable 
here in our group.

We are professionals and amateurs in design and user experience working 
together in the related areas of branding / visual design and UX / UI 
design.

Even if our wiki is not in a final state, most of our work is presented 
there - and discussed here on this mailing list.

That's great!
Help is what we need most :-)

This would be very useful indeed.

Such data will give our comments and opinion on coding efforts with UI 
implication more importance and might lead to a situation where 
developers start to ask us how our different target groups will react to 
changes they develop.

At the moment I don't have a feature in mind where we might need 
usability testing instantly.

But if you stay with us for some time here on the list, you will find 
out about topics where your expertise and usability testing might be 
helpful.

If we don't see these points (or don't think about asking you), please 
step in and post your opinion!

Even if such contributions would be helpful too, I think it is much more 
important to contribute with presence and expertise inside our team - if 
you are interested in being a part of it.

We all are volunteers, spending more or less of our spare time to 
further LibreOffice and improve it by committing our dedication and 
expertise to the community.
> I would like to know from you guys what it would be more relevant
If we can ask for support with usability tests from time to time, this 
would be great.

I CC'd Christoph, our main UX expert (on parental leave at the moment), 
to inform him about your offer.

Best regards and welcome again!

Bernhard
