Hi Louis,
FYI, the User Experience project is also quite interested in this topic,
now.
Hmmm, just to make sure, the User Experience project, isn't that limited
to the actual product? I would prefer to keep it limited that way, since
things related to style are already discussed quite a lot in marketing,
art, and website. User Experience should imho stay more focussed with
how things should work for the end user, that may be partly look, but
style is the polishing, which has its effect on usability (aesthetics is
part of the definition), but can be discussed quite well separately from
the other experience problems, which deal more with how to interact.
Since managing problems over different projects is quite difficult
already, I wouldn't promote involving yet another project in it... but
that is just my humble opinion.
Furhtermore regarding the style guides, there are two:
[1] http://www.openoffice.org/styles/
[2]
http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/29949/OpenOffice.org%20Style%20Manual%20(Version%200.9).pdf
The first one is related to the website, the other one is related to
visual identity.
The website's style guide is mainly interesting for those who maintain
pages, and to maintain consistency. Note that some of the colours in [1]
do not really match the current visual 'identity' of OOo (one might
question whether we have actually one but...)
For visual design look at [2]. That's the best one available imho.

Maarten
