I think we should try to understand what MS was trying to do with the
ribbon and then examine how well it works and where it fails. More not
to inadvertently make the same mistake
You are right, but I think the OpenOffice.org Renaissance team already
did this job (at least I think so, knowing some of the people having
worked in this area).
Could you or someone else check out what they discussed and defined in
their wiki [1]? (you might search their mailing list [2] too, but there
are more than 1000 mails in the archive)
If there is not enough information available, you might try to get more
insight from Microsoft directly, if this is publicly available.
These information will have to be placed aside with available user
feedback, so we can see what they wanted to achieve and what they really
got.
But this will probably take some time and effort - I don't know if this
time shouldn't be spent on tasks directly related to LibreOffice...
Best regards
Bernhard
