Hi! 1.) What do you think about LibreOffice as it stands today? I think is the best alternative of MSO and a free office suite that has great potential but still lacks in some functions.
a) What aspects of the User Interface do you like? Why? I like the pdf button. Is very useful. And i like the contextual floating menus, and the side Impress toolbars because is a way to access specific functionality easily. b) What aspects of the User Interface do you dislike? Why? The Office 97 look and the menus. I think is not what it is required these days, is complicated, ugly and unnecesary. 2.) How could LibreOffice better suit your needs in terms of UI? I think that it could make easier to find not too common functions, and make common functions easy to find for newbies. I think the interface should be more clear, and take the goal of made it easy to use for a 5 years kid. And also, in the sense of being "free" i think the interface should be easy and in a great way configurable by the user. 3.) What would you like to see LibreOffice become? Well besides kicking MSO ass, i would like LibreOffice to have it own sign, and not always trying to be the "competence" of MSO. I think LibreOffice should be identified by it easy of use and configurable interface. Here is a link to a mockup of an interface i proposed in another thread just to take it as an idea: http://www.librethinking.com/index/images/OpenProjects/LibreOffice /libreofficedrawersmockup.png Best regards, On Sun, Jun 19, 2011 at 10:40 PM, Phil Jackson <[email protected]> wrote: > On 6/20/2011 12:09 PM, Scott Pledger wrote: > >> Hey all, >> >> While we're trying to come up with goals for LibreOffice, I'd like to see >> what people think of LO as it stands today.
