Re: [libreoffice-design] APP/Online LibreOffice

Well, let's keep each topic separate here. The Android and iOS announcement
is very specific. We clearly state that what we are doing at this stage is
platform porting, not UI porting. That's for another stage. Beyond that
there are many different people, teams and companies that can develop UIs.
What I don't understand is all this pessimism. Nothing tells you either that
Suse does everything. Have you checked our development stats? :-)

No worries then, let's rather focus on what's needed now and incremental ui
improvements.

Best,

Charles.
