Re: [libreoffice-design] User Research

Hello, dror, Björn,

it appears to me that the question involving the Ribbon(tm) is a little 
misleading, partly because of the use of the name 'ribbon'. I'm not 
pretty sure what the question is, and reading it I feel I have only two 
choices: a) don't answer, b) choose the one that don't mention the 
ribbon, since I don't like it (if I did like it, then it would be the 
other way around). If the question is not "do you like M$ Ribbon 
design?", I'd suggest not mentioning it at all.
If the question is about dynamic menus, then the concept needs 
clarification.

Cheers.
Rafael
