Hello there, Shameless plug from my side: I think that Jonathan might be putting the "carriage before the horses" here , to use an old french word. First, let's all remember that the porting work to Android is far from being over. In fact it's hardly started. Second, there has been an exploratory design job that's been started here, by the UX/Design team, as a set of concepts for a future tablet, touch-based interface, and I think we may first want to continue refining and exploring that path before developing an actual interface.
Simply put: Jonathan's work is rather premature. We have nothing to base its interface on, and it might be better to keep the UX/Design team active on existing tasks and to-dos rather than having its efforts spent in something that cannot / will not work for a long time. Best, Charles. Le mercredi 04 avril 2012 à 08:01 +0200, Jonathan Aquilina a écrit : > I had looked at think free office, which I know doesnt support ODF but I > am using it more for the UI look.
