Are you volunteering ? (and it's worth checking the result with the
ux-advise guys too of course).
I am willing to help there, certainly ! But I'd rather have someone with
some design skills come up with a generic color palette and styles that
can be reused throughout documents, presentations and spreadsheets.
Yep, a refined color palette is something we are missing, certainly. As
far as I know, nobody proposed / volunteered to work on that. If you
like, I can provide some hints how this was done in the past (for
diagrams etc.).

One of the ideas I think would be great, is having a small LibreOffice
logo on the default document somewhere on the lower-right of the page. Or
in the default footer. The logo is stylish and non-obtrusive.
Thanks that you like it :-) I do think this is perceived as way to much
influence on our users' documents.
PS I was very impressed with the default presentation stylesheet for the
conference. And maybe green is a nice color for the default. Who did design
that template ?
Thanks again ... it was great community work :-) Starting point was - as
usual - the LibreOffice visual branding. The conference logo and the
motif (the pattern in the background) were made by Nik. I defined the
remaining details - you may have a look:

By the way, we now have a general LibreOffice Presentation Template
based on that design:
http://templates-test.libreoffice.org/template-center/libreoffice-presentation-templates
Back to the defaults you've mentioned. If you chose to update some of
them, please take some time to study what kinds of documents are created
by users. The most helpful hint might be the OpenOffice.org User Survey
2009 Result available here (see Field Summary for EB7):

And, picking a question from one of your other mails ...

Any remarks/suggestions/tips at this stage?
Can we collect some ideas and/or examples on the wiki somewhere ?
For the admonitions (note, tip, important) I have some examples I
really
like from other Open Source documentation that I'd like to refer to.
My proposal would be to pick a Whiteboard Page in the Design Wiki -
there, we collect all the stuff e.g. in development:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboard
One example related to Writer:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboard/Writer_SpecialIndicators
You may create a page like (simply click on the link):
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboard/Writer_StylesCleanup
Well, I hope some of the bits and pieces will help ... thanks a lot in
advance for helping us!
Cheers,
Christoph
