[Libreoffice] Proposing a new Easy Hack - project consistent namespaces

[Júlio Hoffimann]

Hi Caolán,

I was thinking in the LibreOffice identity too. Renaming the namespaces
created by sun and other previous versions would help us to understand the
code, but also would make we feel in a new software, a real community
software. This is not so hard to do because C++ is powerful as we know, and
if we try to imagine the suite in the future, is not great to maintain old
names in the source, we need an identity! :-)

Again, if you approve the idea, just pass this task for us, would be a
pleasure.

Thanks for reply,
Júlio.
