Good to see it coming out at last!

All typos have already been reported, I just wonder whether you actually meant to say "but the content did already exist" or "but the concept did already exist" in the first paragraph.

In the last paragraph, I would replace
"OpenOffice is an open source project. We don't want your money. You can help us by telling us what you don't like and what you miss. Share your ideas about how to make the sidebar better."
with something softer (we can use money too!), like
"OpenOffice is an open source project. You can contribute with monetary donations [link: http://www.apache.org/foundation/contributing.html ] , but you can also contribute by telling us what you don't like and what you miss. Share your ideas about how to make the sidebar better."

Obviously, "Share your ideas" should tell how to do it. You mean in the comments below the post? To ooo-dev? In Bugzilla? Perhaps the comments are the best solution, but anything will be OK provided that we mention it.

In general, I see you adopted a semi-technical approach, where you introduce several important issues and discuss development issues too. I see room for another post (don't worry, I'm not asking you for it!) where we address the final user only, mainly with screenshots that expand on your existing remarks on the user interface and show how to use the sidebar. And I see room for a third post too, where we explain how extensions developers can use the Sidebar... but let's start with this post and the other ones will come.

Regards,
  Andrea.
