[Libreoffice-ux-advise] Citrus UI ...

wanted to answer before... but didn't send the mail.

Anyway, here's the text I wanted to propose:
"We are revising and improving LibreOffice's interface in small ways
with every version. You can see some of our progress in the release
notes for <a>LibreOffice 3.3</a>, <a>3.4</a>, <a>3.5</a> and <a>3.6</a>.
The Design Team's <a
href="http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboards">Whiteboards
section</a> in our wiki contains more information on planned
improvements.
A number of ideas to improve the interface in a big way exist, however,
they are usually not yet mature enough to be implementable. It is important
to note that such ideas generally need to be split up into
several smaller chunks to better to better fit LibreOffice's development
style."
