I agree his bitmap isn't the most useful starting point for hacking a radical UI: a bitmap is not a specification, there are unanswered questions about it, it doesn't appear to have input from other people, etc. I'm here to see if there is a better bitmap, or a better anything. The amount of work to implement has little to do with the completeness of the specification. Just about anything you draw can be mostly built in a few months full-time. The benefit is that if there is a more thought-out starting point, then the coding will evolve to the happy endpoint faster. That template manager spec has a lot more information. Even something like that would be better. -Keith -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
