Before we send this to the api-dev list alexandro. We may want to consider ways of augmenting the present techology. Alot of what is tossed around on the discuss list includes UI. Ultimately it's the UI that's going to be one of the biggest factors for end users. Also the development lists depend on the discuss and users lists to flesh out ideas so they have something they can work with.
On the issue of spreadsheet use, I confer on the count of being able to view and edit read only files. I think the simplest way to get around this is to not actually open the real file. But for OOo to recognize it's copy protected, and then create a new version to open in the editor. This would allow the end user to do whatever they like with it, but not be able to save it to the same file name. Sort of like opening a template file, but a template file that can't be over-written. As for the other concerns I'm not familiar with needing to go straight to new features, or buttons. I normaly just expect my mouse to jump to the most common feature or button first. This saves me time. As a solution, the mouse could simply be centered by default in every dialogue box to provide an easy way to find the pointer. Some dialogue boxes in other app's are white. Not sure about all the ones in OOo though.
