[libreoffice-design] Redesign of Help > Send Feedback page

*Redesign of Help > Send Feedback page*
The objective is to make users feel more welcome, to show them their 
responsibilities and make it easier for them to find relevant help. As a 
result, they may be more willing to provide feedback and perhaps to 
contribute more to the project.

A draft redesign is at:
www.onepoyle.net/User_Role_and_Feedback.htm

Comments are most welcome.

I'll probably continue making minor edits for a few days, also to 
reflect suggestions made here. Is there a better place to put this page? 
It's currently parked on my website because I don't know what else to do.

I'd like to suggest changing the menu entry 'Send Feedback' to something 
reflecting the intent of the edited page. 'User Role & Feedback...' is 
the best I've come up with, but there is almost certainly something much 
better. 24 characters maximum?

Would it be a good thing to add the contents of the web page to LO Help 
in due course? It would then be available offline and be translated.

I'm thinking of a logo for the page reflecting "Users first" but I'm not 
a graphics designer. Any takers?

What's all this about "User's First"? Colleagues working on LO do so for 
a wide variety of understandable personal reasons. However, without a 
substantial number of otherwise unengaged users, the project would be 
likely to wither and die. Thus users are the essence of why the project 
exists and it makes sense to make their role and their needs fairly 
central. This has been raked over many times, and I'm not keen to 
restart the debate here, but any serious consideration of the 
implications would certainly highlight the importance of very effective 
QA on all released products.
