Hello.

I think we (users) sometimes fail to connect with developers' mindset.

Due to our lack of technical knowledge and often a lack of discipline, our 
feedback isn't enough interesting for them and we sometimes feel quite ignored. 
In the end, we the users try (emphasis here, we know what we want but how how 
we want it and commonly fail to explain it properly) to explain our needs and 
what we think it should be improved from a different POV.

I tried to explain my education-related issues and needs, such as inserting 
formulas in a Libreoffice Writer document (I find it needs to support boolean 
stuff like xor symbols and some other improvements). I know there's limited 
resources, but I think maybe corporate needs are becoming too heavy and other 
areas like education are underrated. What about a lot more non-profit 
organizations becoming part of BoD?

I also had some weird "bugs" (or unintended software behavior) when writing 
large texts, but I often forget to note them (and unable to explain a way to 
reproduce it) because I'm in a hurry and was lazy too.

Maybe different specific associations should be part of BoD and user feedback 
be taken more seriously in a less marketeer way but more scientific and social.

Regards.
