Thanks!

Well, if we can define a reasonable set of categories / tags, then these
could be applied for both the Extension Center and LibreOffice - this
would surely help users.

But I'm less sure about that for the corporate world ... companies
always have own definitions how to categorize templates / documents.

By the way, aren't the "tags" very similar to the "keywords" in the
documents?

Thanks! The proposed dialog is part of the following issue tracker
entry: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31022

Personally, I think that it doesn't fully fit to the branding language
we have defined so far ... although I have to say that LibreOffice (e.g.
the splashscreen) doesn't meet those requirements ;-)))

So maybe we should first focus on the content of the dialog and think
about the visual design a bit later. But what I'd like to know from you
guys is, whether it is desirable to have (at the end) consistent dialogs
that may contain a bit branding / visual design.

Sorry, I haven't been clear enough ... the wiki pages are English, but
my personal comments are German. Personal means that the wording is
incompatible with public availability. So if these comments seem helpful
to you, then I'm happy to update some and put them into the whiteboard
page.

Last mail for today ... so have a nice day!

Cheers,
Christoph
