To make it easier for you, to see a bit of the latest prototype (0.16),
a Dutch journalist was so friendly to publish this:
http://webwereld.nl/gallery/63487/openoffice-kiest-ribbon-combinatie--f
oto-s-.html
(Mind, #2 is not 0.16 - this slide shows the choices in the
prototype-app)
Nice publication indeed.
Just a quick "heads up" to those who have so far seen only remarks or
screenshots on mailinglists, blogs and websites. The prototype
application can still be started via java webstart from within a browser
using the following URL
http://tools.services.openoffice.org/impressprototype/impressprototype.j
nlp
Prerequisite is that you have java 1.5 installed on your system.
Probably much better to have a look yourself than depending on someone
else opinion.

Bernd, on the surface this prototype Impress looks fine to me ; that is to
say, I would have no problem with such a GUI.
I have yet to look at it so I'm expressing no opinion on that issue.
But my experience with
Impress in general is that it's difficult to get it to work right when, e
g, opening pps files sent me as email attachments by others. For example,
when I attempt to run a lovely pps presentation in homage to Vincent Van
Gogh with the artist's paintings and music by Don Mclean in Impress
(versions from OOo 3.0 to OOo-dev 3.2.0 m57 (Build:9422) , the audio
doesn't work
I found the same to be true with a different pps presentation.
and I have to mouse-click or hit the space bar every time I
wish to advance thé presentation.
I started out this way but found that I could set it to change slides every
"n" seconds and even to restart after "m" seconds. Since I, an impress
novice, was able to find how to resolve this I don't think it is a show
stopper -- merely an annoyance.
