Hi Christopher,

First of all a warm welcome. Developers are rarely spread these days :-)

Hi,

I wanted to inquire about the possibility of taking on the filter dialog project. I am going to have to think about the level of commitment I can contribute. I certainly won't be able to give a month block of dedicated time, although I don't suspect you expect this. To be honest, I am not even sure I will have the time, but I thought I would start a conversation anyway, as I would like to contribute to OOo in a meaningful way as a developer, and this particular project is near and dear to my heart. I have some clear ideas about this, and think I would deliver a rock solid solution that was well structured, and poised for future extensions.

What is the process if I were to consider committing to this?
I would first start with some text describing what you want to develop and may be you could add some mock-ups to the text. The text could also be seen as a pre specification. After that you should send the text to this list that all have the opportunity to add their 2 cents. ;-) The next step then would be to be able to build OOo. The current dialog location is in the module dbaccess in the folder source/ui/dlg
And if you need any assistance feel free to ask, as always.

Best regards,

Ocke

PS: The normal process is to
- define a specification
- ask  User Experience for input
- develop the code
- ask QA to check
- done

But this is the prefect world and as everybody knows a specification may change over time ;-)
