Re: [libreoffice-design] User research, Icon-Testing et al.

Hi Björn,
I'm excited to try out UserWeave. However, please do consider this a trial.
It seems a bit premature to advertise LibreOffice as an active user.

And since I had to sign off on the Terms of Agreement, I'd like to point
out its inadequacies so that you may correct them (smaller grammar
mistakes/typos are put in bold):

I hereby accept explicitly that all the input I make on UserWeave is
> automatically – unless I stated something different before


What exactly is meant by "unless I stated something different before"? Does
that mean I can put proprietary data on UserWeave as long as I've released
it elsewhere under a proprietary license before I joined UserWeave?
(I'm sure it doesn't, but given that this is a legally-binding agreement,
this phrase should be worded differently or taken out altogether.)

– licensed according to the conditions of www.OpenDefinition.org. Currently*
> ,* my textual contributions will be licensed with the CC-by 3.0
> http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/*.* As an attribution ('by')*,*'UserWeave.net' should

Strangely worded. Perhaps it'd be better to say that "I agree to all my
work being attributed to 'UserWeave.net'".


> Data that I collect or generate will currently b*e* licensed with th*e*Open Database License

"licensed under" would be a better phrase

Is it legal to relicense content with retrospective effect?
I.e. if I release something under CC0, can I relicense it under CC-by-sa
and forbid everyone who has already used my work from using it without an
added attribution and a relicensing of their work?

This should say "exceptions". I'd also leave out "particularly", since I'm
not sure what its meaning is in this sentence.
Also, what about any other privacy policy law? If I'm an American, African,
or Asian, shouldn't my privacy be protected according to local law?

This kind of data stays my personal property and will not be seperately

It also seems some pages are in German only. Since the design team works in
English, could you translate the more important pages?
Thanks.
