Re: GSoC'21 - View Only Mode

[Bernard Tyers]

Dear Oscar,

I'm very interested in your View only mode project. I wish you luck with it. 

Is your proposed solution ("secure default behaviour with user settings to 
disable, or potentially modify the View-Only mode") fixed, or is there scope 
for input? If it is already fixed how do you plan to evaluate it's usability?

If it is of help, I'd be happy to chat about the UX design, and how it's 
usability might be tested.

Thanks,
Bernard
