I think we should try to understand what MS was trying to do with the
ribbon and then examine how well it works and where it fails. More not
to inadvertently make the same mistake

You are right, but I think the OpenOffice.org Renaissance team already did this job (at least I think so, knowing some of the people having worked in this area).

Could you or someone else check out what they discussed and defined in their wiki [1]? (you might search their mailing list [2] too, but there are more than 1000 mails in the archive)

If there is not enough information available, you might try to get more insight from Microsoft directly, if this is publicly available.

These information will have to be placed aside with available user feedback, so we can see what they wanted to achieve and what they really got.

But this will probably take some time and effort - I don't know if this time shouldn't be spent on tasks directly related to LibreOffice...

Best regards

Bernhard
