After some consideration I think this idea is good. At least it is a worth a discussion with the community. With this intention I prepared a blog post: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MrSd7nwm3PJfKg_DQ79Sbc4jlqWeX280U_yF81pvQiQ/edit?usp=sharing (the text should be published finally, if we decide so, at the LibO design blog) I'm sure there are some features that I missed. For instance there should be the feature of helper grid lines. Doesn't work for me. And maybe we do not share the same view on requirements and exisiting functionality. So please add your comments and thoughts. On Friday 04 December 2015 00:32:29 Michel RENON wrote:
Hi, Another feedback : do LO designers really use LibreOffice every day ? I can tell you it really changes the way you consider software design, specially when bugs/bad design prevent you from doing your paid work, and your boss becomes angry... Look at when one KDE dev (David Faure) just uses a software (Calligra Stage, an Impress equiv) for few hours/minutes : https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/calligra-devel/2015-October/015295.html https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/calligra-devel/2015-October/015296.html --> Design is : "help users do what they have to do" So design without any user feed-back is "designers in their ivory tower". So why not create mockups with LO Draw ? Or at least with some standard tool like Inkscape ? Note that KDE is creating a toolkit with Inkscape for their mobile version : http://www.alexl.netsons.org/blogposts/mobile-oriented-hig-the-first-protot ypes-and-the-mock-up-kit/ Michel
