OpenOffice UI Design Proposals Published

An anonymous reader writes "Various members of the OpenOffice.org community have been submitting their first revisions of proposals to the OpenOffice.org Call for Design Proposals to redesign the user interface of Open Office. As part of Project Renaissance, attention is being drawn to the OpenOffice user interface, and it's 'user-friendliness.' Among the designs, is FLUX UI, which won an award at the Sun Microsystems Community Innovation Awards Program. Anyone can, and is encouraged, to check out the proposals (scroll to bottom of page) and leave your comments so that the designers can improve their designs for the final deadline for proposal submissions to the community."

Windows 7 hasn't even been released yet, but is more successful in its pre-release state than Vista is post-release. (Weird.) Office 2009 doesn't (and never will) exist-- the next Office version will be 2010.

These things are all failures for more-or-less one reason: the UI has advanced as far as it needs to. Interface revisions are okay, overhauls are NOT.

Except Office 2007 has been a huge success due to the (badly needed, IMO) overhauling of the UI.

I give this troll 1/10.
