Hi Ilya,

Hi! 

I just want to propose two ideas regarding LibreOffice which I feel important.

First, I think it would be great if LibreOffice set had its own browser. 
My two cents: I think LO should focus on office applications and leave
web editing/browsing to other great software that already exists. IMHO.

Lorenzo.

This would

- Make it easy to embed web pages in LibreOffice documents
- Make interaction with online web pages easier
- Provide a useful browser well integrated with other LO applications which could be also well 
integrated with KDE4, KDE3, Gnome (as Libre Office is currently)

There is already ooweb mode of writer which allows to see and edit any online web page, but it 
has several limitations:

- It cannot resolve URLs provided as just a site name. I.e. it can open  
http://www.mysite.org/index.htm (http://www.mysite.org/index.htm)  but cannot just  
http://www.mysite.org (http://www.mysite.org) 
- It displays the web pages in editing mode with service information which is not normally 
displayed in the viewing mode.
- There are no navigational buttons and address bar.

So the improvement should be in just adding one more viewing mode to writer.

Second, I suggest to make the Basic IDE a stand-alone LO component. 

It can be currently started with command soffice ".uno:BasicIDEAppear" and as I know there is a 
separate icon for Basic IDE. 

It would be great if a menu entry for this IDE was created by default, the menu of the IDE 
included all necessary entries for creating a new macro etc on their usual positions (i.e. in 
file menu) etc. 

As creating a compiler could be a very difficult task, it still could be used as interpreter for 
creating separate VB script files and run them from the console much like Python interpreter does.
