Re: [libreoffice-design] APP/Online LibreOffice

Andrew,

As it was explained at the conference, the code used in one will be used in
the other, so we won't have two suites. As for UI improvements we need to
make them in an incremental way. No one will change the UI overnight, it
simply is not realistic.

Best,
