Sudden wild idea:

OpenOffice/LibreOffice have been used successfully for years as a MS Word replacement; HOWEVER, there's an outstanding feature request that's been around almost as long: a decent way to create/maintain an outline in a document. Apparently, MS Word does have at least a basic capability to easily do outline creation and editing, which makes it hard for some folks to move over to OSS.

So, could Leo act as a sort of "companion" to OOo/LO (maybe using PyUNO), to combine Leo's superior outlining with their "pulication" capabilities?

And here's an additional feature that could really excite writers: allow for user-controlled "mapping" of outlines into .odt styles. In other words, it'd be easy to cobble up an outline in Leo, then choose whether you want the outline levels to be Heading levels, numbered/bulleted list levels, ...

For what it's worth...
