I guess there's some work to be done to resolve those two points.


not necessarily - what would be equally workable is a group of
change agents (Regina, Cor, NoOp, you in this case, but also UX
people like Christoph), who have their eyes&  ears here and at the
forums and convey to ux-advise or the dev list.

Good point and certainly a workable intermediate option. Unfortunately, reading some of the msgs on UX lead me to think the devs aren't ready for that.


Also, what would greatly reduce the cost&  friction that changes
will cause in the future, is early feedback.

Granted.

We invested quite some
resources into providing nightly builds here:

  http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/

(and my, and other hackers' personal time and money to keep those
hosts running), so any suggestion to have people actually download&
play with those builds greatly appreciated.

I, for one, have no time enough to play with all the toys that come up in the Libre software world. I happen to download and test LibO builds, but that's not on a regular basis and much of what I learn is from others' mouths.


Cedric blogged his feature here:

  http://cedric.bosdonnat.free.fr/wordpress/?p=818

(that's also aggregated on planet.documentfoundation.org),

Yes, but that blog article (like most of the msgs that were posted on the lists) was aimed at headers and footers, not text boundaries that I feel are considered as some kind of a "sub-product" from the latter. I did participate on the FR discussion list to the header/footer talks but, at that time, left completely apart the text boundaries. I should have been more vocal about that, certainly, but I stood on topic... :(

but
possibly we could do better spreading the word - would someone
(you?) be interested in compiling a weekly or monthly newsletter for
LibreOffice?

More simply: give more visibility to the UX list. I share your thoughts that given it's aim, many won't subscribe. But those interested will know of its existence.

Thanks for jumping in indeed - well, you *did* it yourself. Let's
see where that (constructive) discussion gets us to.

<sigh>


Thanks for your time,
