Jonathan, We don't have a prototype at this stage. We want to have something where several contributors have had a shot, and not something that was designed by one guy somewhere with his own UI choices. Don't get me wrong: I appreciate your enthusiasm, but method is required and we don't want to confuse everyone with labeling this "the prototype" of LibreOffice on Android. Because at this stage it really isn't.
