Hi Nate,

reading the header of your mail you already sent a subscribe request to the Design list (design@global.libreoffice.org). Once you have replied to the automated confirmation you'll get all the mails sent to the list and you're able to post your mails there without the need for moderation.

Would you mind to send your introduction to this list as well?

After looking through your website for help needed, the obvious place to
help is user interface design. (an area I've worked in)

Welcome to the design team!

If you want to have a look at the areas we're working on at the moment, please have a look at our wiki area [1] (especially the Whiteboard section [2]) and the mailing list archive [3] (here probably the subjects of the last weeks' postings are enough).

I don't promise
to devote tons of time to this, but I will attempt to send you guys
useful input when I have it.

That's great! I'm looking forward to reading your comments!

I already have some thoughts about grouping commands into task-based
options (which shall overlap, if things like "Insert" and "Edit" are
separated. Adding something and then adjusting it, or removing something
and replacing  with something else are obviously frequent use cases.)
that could help in navigation/location of options and selecting of
relevant feedback. Something more concrete to toss out as a proposal
would be more useful, though, so I'm planning on developing the idea a
whit before actually throwing it out there.

This task fits very well with the action items discussed on the design list.

Even if we have not finished our work in providing an easy access and a well organized repository for the topics we work on, it would be great to have you on board.

I'm not certain which lists to join, from the website, so here goes nothing.

design@global.libreoffice.org is about visual design and user experience/interaction design.

accessibility@global.libreoffice.org is dedicated to accessibility topics. As these topics are tightly related to UI design, there are overlapping interests in this area.

libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org is meant to serve as a low noise interface between developers and UX / UI people. This list is very new, but developers working on patches with UI modifications should be able to get UX advise here on the list.

I hope this clarifies a bit...

Best regards and welcome again

Bernhard
