Hi Daniel, hi all the UI guys ;-)
Daniel, thanks for offering help ... I think this is a great chance for
both the students and LibreOffice as well. From my personal
point-of-view, it would be very interesting to hear a bit more on
list.
Oh, and the sender of this mail doesn't seem to be subscribed to the
mailing list - so I had to moderate them. That is the reasons for:
a) forwarding your mail to the new guys, and
b) kindly asking them to subscribe.
The mailing list links for subscriptions can be found here:

Being curious ... kind regards,
Christoph

Experiement - Acadamic Project
Hi Bernhard,
Thank you for your reply, although we didn't not think of checking the email
archive until recently.
I for one don't consider myself as expert in this field - especially
as contact for a university project - but perhaps one of the other
team
members would be able and willing to serve as contact.
By
expert in the field, we were not referring to top-level researchers or
developers, we are just looking for someone to act the client role (client
is just a paperwork term, no obligation attached): as long as one has got a
few years of experience in the area of UI design, it's good enough. The
purpose of having such person supervising this academic project is for us to
have a relevant, informative feedback/second opinion, and for us to learn
from the interaction of this experience. We will appreciate the effort of
anyone who is willing to help us on this project.
Currently we are
planning on making the renovation two stages: the first one is to create
side tool bar for better (wide) screen utilization (something like the one
shown on
http://pauloup.deviantart.com/art/LibreOffice-UI-Mock-up-light-1-193805631?q=gallery%3Apauloup%2F28216273qo=3),
and the second to have some smart algorithm to put only tools relevant to
the user's current intention in that bar. However, due to that the project
has to finish in almost exactly one-year's time (from today), during which we
will be in our fourth-year study or on internship, we doubt that we will be
able to reach the second stage. But we will try.
This would allow us to review your changes / new UI and implement them
(or at least some of them) to the main repository, if you can license
them under LGPL 3+ and MPL.
We will follow and use the LGPL3 and MPL licenses, and thank you for
mentioning them.
Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks
Xi, George, Kevin, Yu
