[Libreoffice] additional symbols or alternatively stencils in Draw templates

Although I always try to convince people to use LibreOffice or 
OpenOffice before LB started there is one complaint coming back 
regularly. That is the missing capabilities of Draw compared to Visio.
A first step in that direction would be offering more drawing symbols 
like a symbol set for BPMN. If someone could give some assistance on how 
such an additional symbol set could be integrated I would be willing to 
provide it. The further step would be implementing stencils in Draw 
templates.

I created some stencil sets for Visio in the past therefore I have some 
experience in doing so but I have know idea who they could be 
integrated. They are somehow like template internal galleries but every 
shape can have attributes like for network mapping a field IP address 
for every shape representing an active component together with a name, a 
type and so on. Therefore a dynamic dialog would be necessary to show 
these attributes and let the user enter the values.

Finally a shape editor would be nice to allow the user for creating his 
own stencils.

Is there anybody else interested in such an extension and able to aid 
with the programming part?

Kind regards

Ulrich
