We'll sidebar doesn't in anyway indicate it can't be edited. Many people use blogging systems, and sidebars are editable.

Re: Just an idea for the AOO UI
I do think that sometimes there is too much eye candy for people, and it's different eye candy they they are used to. I think this is a great idea if it could be easily implemented. And the toolbars, and icon get added as they are used or requested.

I am often asked if it could possible or not to manage three levels of users through three different folders profiles. Since I'm not a programmer, I'm just wondering if an extension could take care of that by installing three different profiles and allowing the user to switch from one profile to another depending on the level of his expertise with the software or as he wants to do a work requiring no advanced features. In fact, there would be nothing really deleted in the application, simply hidden features according to the user level. I have used in the past a PIM that worked like that, it was very nice. Please, consider that this is not a feature request, I'm just trying to find out about the difficulty of achieving such functionality. A+ -- gw
Re: OpenOffice vs Microsoft Office comparison chart...
I personally like comparison charts. However not if the information is a lie or just marketing. I do find them useful for some information. I personally find that one a bit long in the tooth.. simple easy to see what will do what I need.

We seem to have a variety of rather old documents pertaining to this topic but I can't easily find a single page with a comparison chart. Any table on a vendor's website will be dismissed by most users since it will be obviously self-serving and biased. A user might look at it, but will they believe it? What we really want is a good comparison published by a 3rd party. That's why reviews are good. -Rob -- MzK Achieving happiness requires the right combination of Zen and Zin.
