Yes, Apache is much flatter structure than what you (many of us) were used to previously. The major advantage that I have found is that everyone gets to know what everyone else is working on. It may seem daunting at times, but it has a lot of advantages -- mutual decision making giving everyone a say, no surprise actions by one group over another. UX is of course critical to the success of Apache OpenOffice, so I think you'll find everyone here has an interest in this topic whether they participate in the UX discussions a lot or a little. > Regards, > Kevin > A contributor to the self-selected group of individuals working on a number > of common user experience-related tasks for the next little while :) > > > > > > > On Thursday, May 24, 2012, Yong Lin Ma wrote: > > > Whatever it is named, I think it is good for people who are > > experienced in UX design identify themselves out here.
