Hi,
- I thought starting a new thread would be a better idea, this is more
or less in reply to Kay Ramme's last e-mail in reply to me in the thread
"[website-dev] direct links to 'project' pages on main page"
Working on a new project page proposal will for me be a nogo this
week... too busy. Anyone else wants to give it a try already?
I believe http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Architecturecan be
transformed into a new project page, with some adjustments. It can then
both communicate structure of the project, how projects relate, and what
OOo actually is _all_ about.
See for more information the thread Re: [website-dev] direct links to
'project' pages on main page
Some explanations of the abbreviations:
- CUI == Command line User Interface - e.g. /usr/bin/soffice myDocument
- FWK == FrameworK
- VCL == Visual Component Library - the basic GUI toolkit (buttons, list
boxes, windows, ...)
- UCB == Universal Content Broker - the abstraction for file or http
access (e.g. like Gnome VFS (Virtual File System))
- GSL == Graphics System Layer - VCL and more, like system integration
(Drag&Drop, Clipboard)
- I18N == Internationalization, which enables L10N (English, German, Dutch)
- L10N == Localizations (e.g. CTL (Complex Text Layout) or BiDi
(Bi-directional writing))
The things placed on top (GUI, CUI, etc) are 'imports and exports'
About XML Kay notes: "XML may be misplaced here, either being the XML
project (which would belong to the mid layer), or XML in general, which
would be an import."
I don't think a simple image map will do for a project page. It should
be more complete (it should feature at least all the accepted projects).
Of course not all projects need to fit into the same diagram. This
diagram is how the software works, not how e.g. management works, or
marketing etc.
