Hi Kark,
Previousely, I was a microsoft visual studio developer.
As you might know, the MSDN ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/ ) is the latest and
most important information resources .
Because there are a lot of snipped codes, I don't feel unconfortable even if
the DevGuide provides same things like that.
Traditionally, detailed examples have been provided by power users' blogs,
magazines and books, you know.
Then, if we try to the next challenge, how about having the "My examples"
sections under the snipped codes or around there.
This "My examples" sections are allowed to edit if you are a member of
OpenOffice Deveoper community. I mean some identification like ID is
mandatory.
And hopefully, if we have some ranking systems for each examples, that
should be nicer.
Just small idea.
Takashi.

Subject: [dev] DevGuide Wiki / discussion of SDK examples / source code
links into a repository
Hi,
Clayton Cornell from documentat...@openoffice.org referred me to discuss a
point on this list.
You can already find some arguments in the thread >DevGuide Wiki< on
docume...@openoffice.org. Ariel Constenla-Haile mentioned in this thread,
that Juergen Schmidt already has some plans pertaining to this point.
So let me give a summary:
The DevGuide contains a lot of code to explain how to do things, but it
almost
always limits the code shown to some excerpt, hence focussing on one
particular (and probably the most important) point.
At least as far as I am concerned I almost always wonder about how a
particular piece of code is used and I want to look at the class file as a
whole. Since it doesn't make sense to copy the whole source code into the
Wiki, a link into the source code repository would make sense and be
great.
It would be cumbersome to always look things up in an IDE -- instead of
just
clicking on a link.
A first idea was to use, e.g., a link of the form
http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/xref/Current%20
(trunk)/odk/examples/DevelopersGuide/FirstSteps/FirstUnoContact.java
to refer to the class FirstUnoContact.java.
As Ariel mentioned (in the thread quoted above) Juergen seems to have an
idea
about a more far-reaching structural change of the DevGuide Wiki
concerning
the discussion of the SDK examples.
Since I am currently reading a larger part of the DevGuide and having a
closer
look at the SDK examples, I could readily apply some changes to the Wiki.
But, on the face of it, I should only do it after the desired outcome has
been clearly specified by the community.
I am looking forward to any suggestion.
-Karl
