Hi all,
I was wondering if you had any thoughts on my proposal to remove the
LibreOffice splash screen.
The key argument is:
* Most other apps aren't using splash screens anymore. None of the
other apps on my Ubuntu desktop have splashscreens
* LibreOffice has gotten faster. It starts faster

The splash screen is shown during loading (of confuguration .. )
I would leave it for now but like the idea for the future, when we're
not simply fast, but extrmely ;)

Are you kidding? We need LibreOffice branding as much we need drinking
water as human beings. Our brand, for a number of reasons, including the
fact tha we do not have enough brand exposure, is a weak one in most
