I have some suggestions on more self-educative work, if I may, rather
than helping with something concrete:
1. Obligatory pitch due to being an RTL language guy: Our languages, as
well as CJK languages, have many particular issues with LO, which are
usually due to original software developers or UI designers not having
taken these languages (or quirks thereof) into consideration when
working on some feature or piece of UI. I recommend that you check out a
few presentations at LO conferences about this. Specifically, the two
from this year's LibOCon:

https://events.documentfoundation.org/media/libreoffice-conference-2022/submissions/83UJJG/resources/State_of_CJK_issues_of_LibreOff_kXy1cOh.pdf
2. Look for some UI/UX bugs which have seen spirited/intense debates,
where the debates were not merely splitting hairs but about conflicting
expectations and considerations. There bug pages are tedious to read
through but also informative in learning how people often don't simply
disagree, but have different visions, motivating principles or
considerations underlying their positions on UI/UX choices; and how as a
project officer you can help by making the different considerations more
explicit and clear to everyone when discussions are had.
Perhaps the most famous, though flame-full, example would be:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135501
3. Trivial, but still worth suggesting: Take some time to try out LO
modules which you use less frequently in your daily life, and features
within those modules you use less frequently. In LO, Writer gets most of
the attention, then Impress and Calc, and all the rest sometimes feel
like an afterthought w.r.t. QA work. Even true for me personally, I'm
afraid.
Wishing you all the best with your new role,
Eyal

Hi Heiko,
My name is Liz, I am the new UX designer with LibreOffice! Is there
anything I can immediately help with? I am planning to attend the UX design
meeting next week, but until then I can help with anything else as well. I
look forward to working with you!
Best,
Liz Kim
