All this to improve the interaction, and re-use experiences get previously, reproducing typical situations of already known computer systems. Already available customization interfaces and programming tools for macro and scripting, may be used for this purpose. However, they should be further developed to be more accessible, not only for experienced programmers, but especially for beginners and also ordinary users To get an opinion from an expert, in this article, an interview with Sonia Montegiove (IT journalist and promoter of Open software) is reported, This interview focuses on the LibreOffice user interface self-management, with regard to the Writer word processor. The design of tools that allow to deeply interact with this software is still an open topic. We hope it will be addressed by the LibreOffice Development Community in the future.
