Hi Kay,
I understand that not everybody wants to know all technical details
regarding the OOo application suite. On the other hand I think that
having a brief overview at hand regarding its architecture, is
advantageous and lets better understand why things behave as they do.
We agree completely.
IMHO there is a gradual path OOo users (as typical for all
application) go, being a newbie first, becoming an adept later on, so
some be stuck somewhere on the way.
That's what I think too.
I would highly appreciate it if someone like you, Kay, could give a
seagull-eye's view of the project, preferably graphically (sketch it
on paper, scan it and send it...) This would greatly help us
developing a website that does not only communicate the things we do
understand well.
It is pleasure for me to help. Some time ago I created a very
simplistic (and not too beautiful) graphic, giving a brief overview of
OOos architecture, you may want to take a look:

Ah, that looks like something I was looking for! So some questions then
about this picture.
* Do the colours have any meaning?
* Is it logical to put ODF on top, and XML side by side with the
applications (isn't it more logical to have both at least below the top
layer?
* What is i18n and l10n (or the difference, they have both to do with
languages right?
* Not all blocks are distinct projects, right? I think we are here able
to make another diagram of the marketing/website/userassistance
* Could you explain in normal language what CUI, FWK, VCL, UCB, GSL,
L10N and i18n means? (i could find it out myself, but me is lazy... and
i don't have much time)
But besides the questions, such a graphic is what I really was looking for.
I'll have to see whether I've time mid next week... this weekend I'll be
busy moving... so I won't be reading e-mail a lot, and I got a busy
schedule at the start of the week.
g.,
Maarten
