Re: [tdf-discuss] Experimental UI for LibreOffice proposal

My mistake, thought this was on user list, discuss list seems more
appropriate but expanding it to UX list also seems good. Even getting some
developer input just to understand what a huge undertaking this is would be
useful.

Again, personally I like the look ;) Just unsure of "the point" of
discussing it if it's never going to happen -- and I could very well be
wrong about that as well, just think the wrong people are being asked if
that's the case.


Best,
Joel
