Hi Alexandro,

Have you considered something like:
http://webplicity.net/flexigrid/ ?
It has searching, re-sorting, showing/hiding columns, etc. And the
data remains visible when JS is turned off.

From my point of view, it is fine that the core developers do not come 
out so much for discussion, because that will lower the concentration on 
the real work :-)

But maybe you mean something else? Pls explain then.


We have tried to contact so many time regarding adding ourself in
directory for service provider/consultant/training provider for
openoffice.org but response is zero.


What should work, is mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and ask to be

I have understand however that the project is not so active, but still 
there should be some sort of reply. Have you tried that mail-address?


Kindest regards,

I agree with Ian in this regard, don't expect to get developers when
people trying to making contributions are not recieved.

I made that JSON table in September and so forth there has been no
change on the site.

I also sent an email asking for permits on developing the site for
bizdev and becoming a co-lead since Erwin is no longer in Sun. -- No
Answer yet.

Finally, if the problem is that the leadership is too busy, then the
leadership should be change. Why do we keep dealing with bad leaders
that stalled the project evolution?

I agree with that. That is more the area where INGOTs are targeted as
realistically the Gold INGOT projects are not likely to be coding -
maybe later when we develop a Platinum INGOT and beyond but that is a
much smaller market and is not sustainable on current resources. It
takes time to move the way people work - starting sooner just means the
outcome happens sooner.

 So yes, a strategy is needed.  That's probably something that can be
 started at the OOo conference in Beijing.

I hope so, I want OOo to succeed and get stronger. I'm in Malaysia next
week at their Government Open Source conference that happens to clash
with the OOo Conference. From what I read there is a refreshing
difference in the government attitude to ICT there compared to many so
called developed nations. 

  Personally, having committed time and money to OOo in the past, this is
  a significant reason why I now devote little time to the project. ROI is

Alexandro,

You might like to have a look at the source for the CD Distributor's page. I 
contains an enormous list, done as a series of tables. We use JS and div 
tags to enable filtering to only show a sub-set of the page. I'm guessing that 
this is something similar to what you envisage (still not dynamic, but it is 
definitely one way of doing it). An added advantage is that if JS is turned 
off in the browser, we don't have to have a non-JS page (the visitor has to 
wade through the entire page instead.

 The whole point of JS is that at least you can filter and provide
 information faster and more relevant.

  Hi,
 
  What do you want listed on bizdev's www?
 
  Per
 
  To start we need an update table of bizdev with more acurate
  information. We also need this table to be more manageable hopefully
  an AJAX table.
 
  Finally we really need a better presentation of our partners even
  thought  is hard to do this on collabnet infrastructure you can still
  import JSON objects and let Javascript handle the dynamic information.
  You can see an example that I did using Zoho DBCreator.

  What i found from openoffice.org site that group working behind is
  concentrated in one part of world. They are not willing to come out
  of that.
 
  From my point of view, it is fine that the core developers do not come
  out
  so much for discussion, because that will lower the concentration on
  the real work :-)
  But maybe you mean something else? Pls explain then.
 
  We have tried to contact so many time regarding adding ourself in
  directory for service provider/consultant/training provider for
  openoffice.org but response is zero.
 
  What should work, is mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and ask to be
  listed.
  I have understand however that the project is not so active, but still
  there should be some sort of reply. Have you tried that mail-address?
 
  Kindest regards,
  Cor
