I agree with all of the comments above that Outlining is the remaining ‘killer’
functionality missing from OpenOffice. 

As an additional enhancement I would like to suggest that outlining be combined
with Mind-mapping functionality(see Wikipedia article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_map, there are several good GPL projects e.g.
VYM, Kdissert) as it is better than outlining for brainstorming large conceptual
projects as it allows one to graphically structure the the thinking process and
even add text to headings. 
Mindmapping, according to research, directly replicates the way the brain
generates, synthesises and connects ideas. The structures from a mind
mindmapping could be transfered to Outlining mode for further refinement or
directly into an OpenOffice odt. This present schema is available in Windows XP
using Mindjet (www.mindjet.com) with an ability to export the ideas structure
into MS Word which can be either manipulated in Outline mode or Document mode.

Mindmapping is also a powerful tool for generating presentations. Again Mindjet
links to MS Powerpoint so that structured ideas can be transfered rapidly to
presentations. 

Linking mindmap structutres  to outlining and documents would become a powerful
tool that exists nowhere else at present.
