Hi Andrew,
I don't think the developer team plans to support Windows 8 Metro anytime
soon, so any work on it would be futile right now. Write to the UX advice
mailinglist libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org to make sure.

Hello, my name is Alberto Delgado, i'm new here so please correct me
if i do something wrong.

Windows 8 is a few months away from launching into the market, i have
installed the consumers preview on my computer, and looking for a free
alternative to MS Office i installed LibreOffice. The program works
perfectly
but it's completely... weird in W8 due to the extreme redesign in the UI.

I believe that it's a great opportunity for LibreOffice to enter the W8
marketplace, it would direct many users away from MS Office 2012
and into LibreOffice.

However, with the current design of the program it just won't work,
i have been using Windows 8 for a while, so i can start drafting
how the program could look like to be in tone with the Windows 8 UI.
However i am not a graphic designer so i can not really make the graphics
for the program, but i can design the basic UI.

If you believe this can be done and are interested in designing the
interface for
the Windows 8 app, the best way to go is to try Windows 8 and get a grasp
of
how apps should work and look like.
