KG01 - Indeed, Symphony sidebar has some great behavior that we should adopt. My assessment identifies specific aspects of the Symphony UX to adopt, and identifies opportunities for AOO improvement as well. Ideally, we can provide a hybrib that reprenents the best of both tools. Next step is to move the line items into Bugzilla. I would also note that there ate many aspects of Symphony UX that would be great to adopt. See.

KG01 - Context sensitive toolbars are a great way to manage complexity and to progressively disclose tool actions. The Symphony task pane is a great start. We could explore other approaches to reduce the number of commands presented in the toolbars and make the available sections more contextual. >> But OK, >> I'm a Symphony user.

I will start a discussion thread on the AOO wiki to advance this exploration. See wiki for details.
