Hi Erik,
thanks for clarifications :)
Some questions below...

We are willing to contribute the whole Symphony to community. The code
would be available to the community. (The C++ part of Symphony, also
the counterpart of OO.o in Symphony).
Maybe I misinterpret "The C++ part", but does it mean you will
contribute the changes that Symphony needs in the OOo code base, but not
the Symphony "Application" itself?
From what I know, the Application and all UI (the "chrome") is written
in Java, and just embeds the OOo applications. So not contributing the
Java part would mean that the "praised UI" that Rob mentioned wouldn't
be part of the contribution...
By far, we should focus on getting the first Apache OpenOffice release
done.
Right! :)
3, A key performance improvement in Symphony is Async document loading for
Writer and Presentation documents. User can see document content get
displayed before the whole document content get loaded. It would be more
difficult to integrate this into Apache OpenOffice than other features
Symphony has
Isn't this a feature that's completely implemented in the OOo code base?
My assumption would be that this has no dependencies on Symphony related
code - but of course I am just guessing, as I don't see a reason why
such dependency should exist.
Last but not least I would like to add that it will be a pleasure for me
to continue working with your team on OOo! :)
Best regards,
Malte.
