[libreoffice-design] Re: Funding Wishlist

Hi everyone,

Just to clarify. We are really looking for your team's wishlist and it 
must be of budgetary consideration. This is not a wishlist for new 
UX-designs, new logos etc. The wishlist should really be discussed with 
your other team members so that we can get a better view of the needs of 
the different LibreOffice teams.

For example: website team is looking at infrastructure (big and small); 
the marketing team is discussing the possibility of "Booth kits" to be 
deployed/shipped to areas/regions where conference materials are in 
desperate need.

Leave me a message on this thread is you have any questions. Please do 
not send me your personal wishlists; I will go around and collect the 
wishlists from your list/thread later or as I see your discussions and 
decisions are made.

Cheers,

Marc
