</div> Right - so, as one precursor we really want to help with moving<br>
~everything to gnumake so we only have to do the heavy lifting in one<br>
place. Of course, that has a great knock-on effect of improving our<br>
build speed, and as a side-effect having a great synergy with our<br>
end-goal of moving to cross-compiling the Windows builds.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I didn't know about this problem. I don't have much experience in cross-compilation (I thought LO had already take care of it) but<i> </i>I'll ask some friends for help.</div>

</div> This is of course an excellent point :-) However, it is clear that with<br>
lots of complementary, baby-steps in the right direction, we will get<br>
somewhere useful in the end.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This is what I have in mind. Develop a new interface for tablets and commiting it for a public repository (probably Github) so I can get external help and feedback. "Release early, release often"</div>

</div> Not in the end-game; but as a demo to generate lots of interest, and<br>
attract more developers to help re-work the chrome: I think this would<br>
be a wonderful first-step.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Actually I think that today's UI can't be used on a tablet for 2 reasons:</div><div><ol><li>It isn't prepared for this</li><li>Would be completely visually unintegrated with the other apps</li>
