Hello All,
I've been exploring design alternatives for adding navigation tabs to the
docked task pane.
See:

We should keep in mind that there are not only UX changes involved here.
I see three areas to work on:
1. UX. Look and feel. Kevin has made the first step in this area.
2. Programming framework. There is already a UNO API for plugable sidebar
controls in general. There is a C++ framework for the side bar used in
Impress. These different approaches should be unified and extended to be
usable by all AOO applications and by extension developers.
3. Sidebar content. At the moment I only know the sidebar in AOO Impress
(implemented a large part of it myself) and the Symphony sidebar.
You can dock the stylist, the navigator, the gallery and the old "fontwork
tool" to have a sort of sidebar on all AOO components.
I know. And it will be a challenge, at least on the technical level, to
join all the different features that we have to today, that can
contribute the new side bar.

I think that we want the sidebar for AOO Writer and Calc, too, and have to
think about what to put into it. Here we can learn and copy a lot from
Symphony.
