The most significant changes to Impress are actually provided as
extensions and we did not decide yet what to do with them.
Yes, it's time we made a decision.
My opinion: significant extensions should be covered in the chapter
(or appendix, depending on the book) on customization, and they should
be covered in the same level of detail as other (built-in) features.
What is a "significant extension"? IMO, those that are being mentioned
by OOo marketing as features of OOo3 but are available only as an
extension (not integrated into OOo): for example, Sun Presenter
Console, PDF import, and the Sun Report Builder.
There are a few other extensions that I think might be worthy of
inclusion: André Schnabel's Template Changer in particular
(http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/templatechanger),
which I've been using to keep up with changes in our template. That
one needs only a short paragraph in the Writer Guide.
