Ben,
I love your idea, and I would like to see it not forgotten somewhere
on the wiki. So we have to work with the actual feature design
process. One way of integrating your views in the OOo development
process is the Renaissance project, but there may be others, such as
the o...@www incubator project. Did you push the dashboard anywhere
with the development team already?
Thanks,
Charles.

P.S. I just noticed that you sent this to the marketing list - please
send a link to the UX list too as there is interest in this idea over
there as well!

Hi Ben, all,
I always get excited when there's discussion about a dashboard :P
Ben, thank you for sharing your design with us! Having the dashboard
in HTML is a great idea: just change the CSS and you can get a
completely different layout. Plus, the use of HTML and JS could work
really well for attracting a broad range of contributors/developers,
as you mentioned. There would probably be a lot of XML involved too
(e.g. recent file lists). There would also probably be security
considerations with JS that might complicate the implementation of
this idea - but the potential is huge.
Here's a thought that got me thinking about your proposal: it might
seem odd to users that they would be able to customize the dashboard
so heavily, but not the rest of OOo (and I've seen many suggestions
by
users saying that OOo should be skinnable). Although this matter is
well beyond the scope of the dashboard (and I think that a
customizable dashboard is a wonderful idea), it does make me wonder -
what if OOo (or at least, some parts of it) could be skinned with CSS
(a crazy idea, I know...)?
I'll add some more comments on your proposal later - I'm short on
time
these days, but with a juicy topic (and a juicy mockup) like this I
just couldn't resist :)
Regards,
Ivan.

Hello,
I've been working on the Dashboard concept some more and have the
following semi-functional mockup to share. This would appear in the
OOo application window where the start center now appears.

It looks very interesting. I suggest to add direct access to some
help
documentation such as FAQ, wiki, "getting started in 3 pages" for
each
module (perhaps 3 pages is to long) and complete guide if available.
Another point : recent documents should show full names, in order
to not
have to use mouse to get tooltip with the full filename.
Regards
