| Calc | Provide a internal framework for HPC | The [Matrix Template
Library|http://osl.iu.edu/research/mtl/mtl2.php3] is a high-performance generic
component library inspired on STL for matrix operations. \\
This toolkit could provide elegant operations for programmers and at the same
time provide HPC capabilities within the spreadsheet. | pfg | | |
| All \\ | OpenSocial integration \\ | OpenSocial is an open standard for
interacting with social networking software. \\
For example, Apache Shindig supports OpenSocial. This feature would
enable users \\
to publish fine-grained content from their editor to their social
network. For example, \\
they could take the current slide and send it to their "friends" as an image,
and ask for comments. \\ | robweir, Kevin Grignon (UX design) | | |
| Writer | Usability improvement in Ctrl+A and mouse operations in tables and
sections | # The capability and usability of Ctrl+A is enhanced to make users
able to select and operate tables, nested tables, or tables within sections at
the top of a document through select all operation.
# The capability and usability of mouse operation is also enhanced to make
users able to select and operate the tables, nested tables, or tables within
sections at the top of a document through mouse to select them from the end to
the beginning. | Cheng Jian Hong | {highlight:red}Proposed \\

| Writer | Interoperability improvement with MS Word 2007/2010 on Shape support
| # The shape created in MS Word 2007/2010 can't be parsed and will lost after
importing. So, we propose to improve the implementation for shape loading.
# The shape in MS Word 2007 described as VML format, and in MS Word 2007/2010,
it's both in VML and DrawingML together. And to initial the compatible for
this part, we propose to support VML first. So we could better interoperable
with MS Word 2007 and MS word 2010 for common cases. | Zhang Ying |

| Base | Update database engine to HSQLDB 2.2.x | The present versions uses
HSQLDB 1.8.0.10 version, HSQLDB 2.x.x has more features, and it is a version in
development. CWS [hsqldb19|http://hg.services.openoffice.org/cws/hsqldb19] was
developed and tested extensively during 2009-11 (until April) by Ocke Janssen.
The CWS is named 19 because it was started with a pre-release version of
HSQLDB. It was actually developed and tested with release versions of HSQLDB
2.0, 2.1 and 2.2.x. The change from 3.3 to CWS was that the
org.hsqldb.lib.Storage was retired and replaced by
org.hsqldb.persist.RandomAccessInterface, which has similar methods | ? |
