Re: [libreoffice-design] CI Design Wrapper for Videos

Hi Shawn

I'm sure that you could make some very good videos that can be used to 
demonstrate the features of LibreOffice.

We're developing some design ideas that could be showcased very 
effectively on YouTube. I personally think there is an opportunity to 
show why LibreOffice, when it has incorporated some of these ideas, is a 
better productivity tool than MS Office. It could be done on several 
levels right down to specific topics such as automatic tabbing.

It could be possible to even have built into LibreOffice, links to Help 
Videos on various topics - just a click away to make it very 
convenient.  That would give it a competitive advantage over other products.

This idea has many legs! There could be a role to coordinate a sub-team 
of design members working together on this.

Cheers

Phil Jackson
