Sure, thanks for being around :-)
A radical change is not going to happen, at least not "overnight"  . We
are aiming at changing things bits by bits. 

But your skills can be very useful to the LibreOffice project starting
even today: doing a set of  promotional videos of some simple use cases
"how do I do this or that" is a great thing to have. Would you be
interested?

Thanks,

Charles.
