That would bring us one step further.
So I _could_ start...? I guess I have to use the specification template for Writer. On [2] I found some other things that need to be done/checked before I start: (-- denotes a quote) --Q1 [Feature/Enhancement] --Does an unambiguously clear feature or enhancement request exists? Well, does one exist? I hope the description in [1] is enough to fullfill this request. If not, what has to be done? --Q2 [Concept]: --For changes requiring modifications in more than one application: Is --there product concept available, which is understandable to the --intended readership? I guess, this is irrelevant, since only one application is concerned: Base. --Q3 [Project-Resources]: --Do you have a project team? An OpenOffice.org feature is always --being developed by an Implementation Team (i-Team). An i-Team consists --at least of two distinct persons: -- * A developer (required) -- * A QA representative (required) -- Ask for a QA representative in the d...@qa.openoffice.org mailing list. -- * A User Experience member (required only if the feature or bug -- fix affects the user interface or the behavior of the application) This is my first problem. How do I get this i-team? I have to specify their names in the spec. I can ask for a QA representative as described, but where do I get a developer? And how do I get a User Experience member? --Q4 [i-Team Agreement]: --Do all i-Team members agree on Q1 - Q3? Well, first I need these three people... --What happens if I can't answer all questions mentioned above, with Yes? --The consequence could be that your valuable work won't be integrated --into OpenOffice.org. So, at the moment I should better not start.... or should I? Although it might not be necessary to meet all these requirements as long as only the spec is going to be written, it would be a good idea to involve at least a User Experience member. I hope these are the only requirements that may have to be fullfilled. It would be great if you could help me meet them!
