Sure - but our existing performance problems will get no better by re-writing in Java :-) I think native code is the best approach. > > I've seen OO.o running quite nicely on small ARM devices as native > > code; that would be my approach to mobile. > > So why is there no strategy to get OOo on to these mobile devices? Or > maybe there is ? Sure - improve performance and memory footprint - that work is underway, and beef up the ARM port. Beyond that - a new UI shell is required on top - and we have a mobile phone version. Ultimately - the techincal strategy is easy; the only problem is people to actually hack on doing it :-) are you volunteering ? if so, we can certainly help out with code pointers, review, encouragement, community building etc. All the best :-) Michael. -- michael.me...@novell.com <><, Pseudo Engineer, itinerant idiot -- Unsubscribe instructions: Email to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines: http://netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html Archive: http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived ***
