John,

I would like to request for the UDK project as what Ingrid requested for the Chart. The UDK already is available as a 'standalone' component, namely as the URE (Uno Runtime Environment).

I haven't got a URE icon on my "Start" menu ... or to put it another
What is the "Start" menu? ;-)
way:

$ ls /usr/bin/oo
oobase          ooffice         oomath          oowriter
oocalc oofromtemplate ooo-wrapper oodraw ooimpress ooweb
If you want an executable, just search for uno.bin / uno.exe.

where is ooure?
URE (Uno Runtime Environment) is just an abbreviation for a collection of tools and libraries OOo depends on. Unfortunately names have not been chosen well (UDK, URE etc.), so I am planning to fix this.

As I said, Uno (URE) is the foundation of OOo, if you do not know about it, that is sad :-(

My impression is, that you basically think you are the only one allowed to have an opinion how users and contributors etc. are to be guided through the main page. From my point of view, OOo is build up by its accepted projects, so these accepted projects very well have the right to attend to interest.

And just another word regarding the terms contributor or contributing. IMHO these are chosen badly, I am pretty sure that only a very few people arriving at the homepage already know that they want to contribute, especially developers (which we are lacking, in contrary to users) are mostly curious about how things work, despite wanting to 'contribute' in the first place.

Taking a look over the fence, we can see that the biggest competitors product is not only successful because of its GUI provided functionality, but also because of its programmability aspects and its integration features into other applications (SAP, ...).

John
