I understand this differently, "I just want to *play* with this application" as a desire have positive feelings (pleasure) while working with the programs.

Agreed. I also considered this for Kexi - to show empty tabular view like in spreadsheets, to enable data entry *immediately*, but for this I need ad-hoc table creation, which is only a nice dream for now. That would further lower the barrier for users, what's the the goal for Kexi and interesting study in itself. Most probably the wrong feeling comes from the fact that many apps in both MS Office and Libre Office skip welcome screens. -- regards / pozdrawiam, Jaroslaw Staniek Kexi & Calligra & KDE | http://calligra.org/kexi | http://kde.org Qt Certified Specialist | http://qt-project.org http://www.linkedin.com/in/jstaniek _______________________________________________ calligra-devel mailing list calligra-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/calligra-devel
