Hi Frank et al, My 2 cents: Simplify: this does not mean remove functionality or dumb down. Example - if I want to run SQL statements (not created via the wizard) there are different ways (depending on what I want to do) to do this found under different menus (Tools - SQL and Insert - Query (SQL)) would be nice if it was all together.
Better / new integration with other OOo apps. Example - if I store an image in Base, I might want to look / edit / update it via Impress / Draw.
