Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Infographic 'Changing Face of LibreOffice'.

With the notebookbar coming out of experimental I'm assuming it will be selected from the "User 
Interface" item on the "View" menu, as now when the user permits experimental features.

This gives 9 options, of which 6 relate to an MS Office type of menu system. I can't help thinking 
this will confuse as many people as it impresses. Has a decision been made as to which option is 
the default for a user selecting the notebookbar rather than the classic menu? Perhaps a one-click 
method to toggle between the default notebookbar and classic menu should be considered.

Nige

Hello,

Yep, I agree! Drew, it's a great idea and thanks for working on it, but
I think we need to focus on one thing at a time with the messaging.
Otherwise people may get the idea that LibreOffice is too complicated,
can't decide on a cohesive interface etc.

The NotebookBar is going to be a big deal for LO 6.2, so we need to
focus on one or two variants of it and say:

* What it is (a new, OPTIONAL user interface design -- we're not
changing everything! Otherwise we'll get a huge amount of angry comments
on social media ;-) )

* Why it's great (work with items in context, faster workflow etc.)

* How to try it -- and super important, how to go back!

IMO we need to simultaneously communicate that LibreOffice 6.2 has the
same reliable, trusted, familiar user interface as previous releases,
but is also modern, forward-looking and adaptable. This isn't easy, but
if we do it right and not overload people with lots of information and
screenshots, I think we can make it work...
