and in
fact find it an improvement over 2003, so my opinion is not a result
of my
having fallen off the learning curve). But I hope list members will
take a
look at the site (whether they choose to use the link I provided or the
longer one provided by NoOp) and send their opinions off to Sun -
hopefully
before, rather than after, irrevocable decisions are made concerning the
GUI. For that matter, my main worry is not so much what will happen
to the
OOo GUI, but what will happen to OOo itself, now that Sun has been
purchased
by Oracle....

I want to emphasize Henri's comment about feed back.
If you run the prototype ( and remember it is a first prototype, not a
cut at the actual UI ) and try it, then upon exiting the application
you will be redirected to a web based survey or one question: "What do
you think"
Errm. What prototype? Do you mean I can download and run a version of
OOo with this new GUI and *not* have it interfere with my existing 3.1.0
(m11) version? I find a link "New: OOo-DEV 3.1.1 Developer Snapshot
(build OOO310_m17) available " but, as that seems to be a sub-version
(no, not a "subversion" but a "sub-version") of 3.1, I'm apprehensive
about it clobbering my existing version.
Take the time to enter your comments there - that will go directly to
the individuals on the UX team working on this.
Are you saying that if I enter comments on the "blog" page (which I have
done) that those *won't* go "directly to the individuals on the UX team
working on this"?
