Any enhancements to the existing AOO sidebar should leverage the best user experience elements from both Symphony and AOO. In addition, while we are updating this code we can address any other known issues. I have already completed an analysis of each tool's sidebar, strengths and weaknesses and captured some recommendations. See the analysis doc on the Dockable Task Pane (Side bar) Design Exploration pageon the AOO UX wiki. http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/AOO_4.0_Dockable_Task_Pane_%28Task_Bar%29_D= esign_Exploration > Another candidate we can consider maybe clipart/gallery. > And agree that we should provide interface for extension development. > > I can see it is a big feature that requires a lot of UX/development/testi= ng > effort.
