Hi Yu, Xi, George, Kevin, sorry for not having replied earlier. I marked your mail, but as there are 70 other mails I wanted to reply here on the list, I lost track...

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. > If you have any doubt or question regarding > our project, please feel free to ask us or our professor Paul A.S. > Ward at [email protected] (his university personal page is > http://www.ccng.uwaterloo.ca/~pasward/).

Do you want to contact a developer or a user experience / graphic design expert? For the former you would have to contact the developer mailing list at http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice While they can give you programming guidance, UX and UI design are worked on here. 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. > We will bother that person > no more than once or twice a month with our progress.
