Yep, there are some terrific ideas - he was (and I hope: is) with us
since quite some time. He also was so kind to join our ideas collection
when we've collected menu alternatives within the OpenOffice.org
Renaissance project. Here is his proposal:

It depends on the point-of-view ... currently I'd say there is no chance
to completely revise the UI in one-shot (for several reasons). Instead,
it would be good to focus on manageable improvements for Design,
Development, QA, ...

There have been regular posts on what is wrong with details of the UI -
it just needs somebody to take care of that (e.g. the zoom slider which
has been mentioned some days ago). That should help us to in a position
for larger changes.

Cheers,
Christoh
