The idea here is to have a dev-focused introduction page that works
along side the similar pages we have for Marketing and QA. This is
the first draft. I already see a few typos, so don't worry about
those. But I am looking for more content.
What else should we put here? Any other links? Any other startup tasks?
There exists different type of "development":
- changing the core
- using AOO in other applications
- adding functionality to AOO via extensions and macros
Your text addresses only "changing the core". That is likely correct,
when someone reaches that page following a hierarchical instruction. But
nowadays pages are more often found by searching.
So my suggestion is, to make a short page for the other type of
development and add at the beginning of your text, the target audience
of your page and a reference to the other page.
I don' know, whether an introduction page for the other kind of
development already exist. But it should contain hints to:
- a...@openoffice.apache.org
- existence and download of SDK
- http://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/module-ix.html
- http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/BASIC_Guide
-
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/OpenOffice.org_Developers_Guide
[- http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Using_Cpp_with_the_OOo_SDK, if it
will be continued]
I think it makes sense to include the link to the OpenGrok instance from
Adfinis Sygroup [1] which can be also used to "inspect" the source code.
[1] http://opengrok.adfinis-sygroup.org/source/
Thanks! I made changes, mainly additions, based on your feedback and
earlier comments from Kay and Jan. Here is the updated version:
http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-development.html
The section 'Other Useful Resources' should have a link to
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Source_code_directories
and
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Coding_Standards
and
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Writer/Code_Conventions
However, they seem to need revision and additions. But they are useful
for newcomer nevertheless.
A hint to Doxygen for LibreOffice. The tool is helpful and it would be
nice to have a similar thing for AOO. If a module has it, you can get it
when you click on the module name in http://docs.libreoffice.org/ and
then on 'Doxygen'. Try it for example with module 'sd'.
Kind regards
Regina
