From my point of view, it is OK to hear of outside criticism of our 
product and website. I even see this as a healthy thing. I do not know 
of any family where there are no arguments and dissenting views on 
certain topics. It's the reaction that we (LibreOffice members) have to 
the criticisms that counts. We should look at his points and see if they 
are valid and either move on it or not. We do not have to be pushed into 
someone else's agenda though.

IMO he did have some neat proposals. Like Christian said, the fact that 
there was only N.America bothers me. But, hey, if we could have a 
rotating animated .gif of a globe, maybe that would be neater. His icons 
are just another proposal that, if he would join our teams, would be 
added to other proposals for discussion. If they were acceptable to the 
membership then we would do something with them.

As to the critique of the site, well, nothing new, we have had some 
members voice their comments on it being too verbose. Others think it is 
fine. If it needs more fine-tuning, the great website team that we have 
will take care of it.

So really, nice article to read and we should take the high road and 
thank him for his comments and ask him if he would like to join our 
membership rather than stand on the curb and comment from the outside.

He is probably on our lists anyway.

Cheers

Marc
