Here's a simple starter drawing project for somebody: mockup a redesign of Lively's contextual menus. Strip out anything which would fit better in a new system browser. Consider adding new menu items relating to vector illustration such as "Lock/Unlock Morph", "Zoom Morph to Fit", "Ordering", "Distribute".
Also, if you're not sure where to edit, just create your own documents and link to them from the entry page. http://tinyurl.com/lively-mockups/ Here's one interesting concept which I strongly favor: select multiple rows in a column and then their detail views stack in the next column. Example: instead of a *Styling* top level area, have a *Selection* area. The * Selection* area contains "Selected Morphs" (a list or table), "Selection Styling", "Selection Scripting". User can select rows: "Selected Morphs" and "Selection Styling" and they stack in the next column and scroll vertically as one. The user could also select and view them individually. This concept is like a tabbed pane where the user can see more than one panel at a time. I'm not able to draw this *Selection* area example immediately but an example of this stacking behavior already exists in: *Examples Harness *and also in* Coding*. *Resolve*: this selection stacking should probably not be allowed at arbitrary depths: e.g. when traversing submorphs.
