Great topic. See comments inline.

Just for the property sidebar. Kevin have done some analysis about how
it can be integrated into AOO.
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. AOO UX wiki for more details.
The problem is the migration of it from Symphony won't be
straightforward and no one is actually working on it as far as I know.
KG01 - hmmmm....

You may share ideas with Kevin who is working on UI changes backlogs.
Or propose ideas by yourself here
KG01 - visit the AOO UX wiki for more information on how we can move forward on
our next generation UI.
What I find a great feature in LS is the "Context sensitive toolbar" which
allows to reduce the number of available toolbars in the Vue menu.
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. Perhaps this feature would be found unpleasant for
most OpenOffice users.
Meanwhile, the impossibility to deplace this toolbar in the work area is
perhaps discutable.
A+

KG01 - Re: next generation AOO UI. I will start a discussion thread on the AOO
wiki to advance this exploration. See wiki for details.
Hi, Kevin,
Two quick comments:
(1) Links to the wiki are helpful to your readers here.
(2) Pictures of the Symphony details are worth 10K words, especially in
the .ODT documents (it's easier there than on the wiki).
