[libreoffice-marketing] Quick reference cards and Desktop Reference Card suggestion (idea)

I am posting a note from Ron Faile as well as a suggestion I had 
regarding reference cards. I thought this may be a good idea as extended 
help for some of our users.

Hi Ron. This will be very appreciated. I can see marketing using this at 
conference booths.

I was also thinking that we could also have a reference card that could 
sit on a desktop shaped similarly to a "Toblerne" chocolate bar 
package.[1] There would be 3 faces with corresponding or affiliated menu 
items on each side. We could also have different renditions made up to 
suit different people's needs or interests (for new users; 
wordprocessing users; calc users; business oriented users; database 
users etc. )

If we could categorise these and advertise them on our site it may prove 
to be of help to some.

I will leave a copy of this post on the marketing list and see if anyone 
would be interested in picking up the idea. I will also make a note of 
this in the "ideas" section of marketing.[2] In this case, I don't think 
we could call this a promotional idea but more of a tool to the distro.

Could you also inform the marketing team when your reference card is 
completed?

Cheers

Marc

I was wondering if anyone else had any comments or suggestons about this 
and if it is worthwhile.
