Hi Astron;

No problem, I'm happy to respond / clarify anyway.

I am sponsoring Matus to build an empty prototype. I haven't spent the
money yet, but I don't think I'm going to be wasting it. A totally
blank Python toolbar / sidebar could eventually be filled in and
useful.

What will be somewhat of a waste is this:
http://www.freedomsponsors.org/core/issue/175/new-libreoffice-ui.
Someone could build that using Matus's work, but without a better
design starting point, some of their time will be wasted.
