No need to migrated every thing from Symphony sidebar, but start from some frequent used buttons. Another candidate we can consider maybe clipart/gallery. And agree that we should provide interface for extension development. I can see it is a big feature that requires a lot of UX/development/testing effort. So I suggest to create a wiki under 4.0 planning wiki<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.0+Release+Planning>to consolidate and trace all related tasks and action items. We may also need a branch to start ASAP. - Shenfeng Liu (Simon) > > A SideBar in general is smooth and nice way to integrate in the office > UI and provide fast access to new interesting features.
