Hello,
I've been working on the Dashboard concept some more and have the
following semi-functional mockup to share. This would appear in the
OOo application window where the start center now appears.

What is the Dashboard?
The Dashboard idea is an expansion of our existing start center. It
turns it into an HTML and Javascript-based live connection to web
services and communities, while also providing an easy entry point for
developers to get involved with OOo by building new widgets that users
can install to customize their own dashboards. (Developers create
these widgets with HTML and Javascript, which expands the potential
developer audience as well.)
The goal is to provide an attractive interface that differentiates us
from our competitors, and leverages the nature of OOo as a single
program, rather than a collection of separate applications. Also, due
to its design as HTML and Javascript, it's very easy to change the
look and feel of the Dashboard very quickly.
