I want to present a first entrant to the contest:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Organizer-rdsgn.png . I felt
my first hand-drawn sketches were a bit too rough and unintelligible
which is why this is made in Inkscape.
Anyway, it is a bit of a departure from the current Organiser page, so
this design would probably render obsolete much of the documentation
-- I'd be willing to help there, though (as long as it's not on the
order of hundreds of help pages).
* this mock-up doesn't use "AutoCorrect", but rather something that I
hope is more digestable: "automatically update this style when
formatting is changed directly" (I suppose the wording could still be
improved)
* the field "Contains" is replaced by a more ordered and professional
looking list, from which single items can be selected and removed
* the standard button is now a "reset to '[Style]'" button
* I've changed some wording and (unintentionally) left out the "Style
class" combobox that should of course go under "References."
