Actually I don't believe we have that of a different view. We see the same issues from two different vantage points. It's not an either/or thing; you focus on the consuming side - we tried to improve that by orders of magnitude by getting rid of pages of text no one reads and make it simpler to grasp the idea - but we do have another specific objective, which is to improve and grow the community. In this sense the redesign has to meet these two goals. best, Charles. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: projects+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/projects/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
