dev@xml.openoffice.org is the relevant mailing list. But it really depends on

Try dev@xml.openoffice.org as it is more XML specific. Hopefully even some of 
the Sun XML developers may help you.

Or at least as interesting from many peoples perspective is the SVG import 
filters for OOo. I think that someone was working on this and that there is 
some code available, but it is not complete yet :(

Hi Jurgen,
 I presume that you realis the Azhar's email was moderated, meaning that he 
was not subscribed to this mailing list. Which means of course that your 
reply never got to him. 

I really wish that the mail server was sertup in a saner way to either :
1) include the moderator emailer in the Reply-to field
2) include an OBVIOUS indication in the message that the mail was moderated 
(e.g. Subject: [THIS IS EMAIL IS MODERATED] and whatever the original subject 
is.

How many potential developers are we loosing this way ?

This is really not a question for development. But the short answer might be 
that postscript is generally only the output for printing files, whereas XML 
can be exchanged and edited by others.

Hi Mark,
 One of the first things to remember is that all OOo mailing lists do not 
automatically send responses to you if you are not subscribed. Therefore it 
is VERY good idea to subscribe to any mailing list you send questions to.
To subscribe to dev@openoffice.org, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and

Hi Kurt,

There are 2 lists that may be relevant to you dev@xml.openoffice.org for XML 
related items or dev@api.openoffice.org to develope a UNO component. Do not

At a guess I would hope that the normal UNO socket would work for this.

However maybe you should ask on dev@api.openoffice.org and ask to be CC:ed as 
you may not see all replies unless you subscribe to that list by sending an

Hi Stephen,
 I think those features you are looking for should be possible with the 
current APIs of OpenOffice.org. If you are willing to work on the wizard then 
please ask on [EMAIL PROTECTED] There are already some wizards

Have a look at http://api.openoffice.org and the code snippets project. Also 
http://pitonyak.org has many examples of StarBasic which can easily be 
customized and used within OpenOffice.org.

Even though there does not seem to be anyone in Sun actively monitoring and 
responding to the emails in dev@xml.openoffice.org, it is actually the

I think that this is actually a reasonable way to approach your problem. 
ODT files are reasonably easy to generate, and the simplest way to start is 
obviously to start with no text formatting which is simply to make all of the 
text a set of paragraphs. Then start on the formating.

You should have no index problems as all you need to do is to zip all of the 
files together again after you complete the contents.xml file.

You are correct, you need to run OOo to use pyuno.

It should not be too difficult once you know some XML technologies i.e. XSLT 
and XPATH. Have a look at http://xml.openoffice.org/filters.html for more 
info on XML based filters.

> So, I would ask you, what solution do you belive is the most suitable

Start with the generation of content.xml files as it will allow you to easily 
get to grips with the various tags, and to know the mapping of your 
attributes into OOo attributes. Once this is done then writing a filter 
should be a bit easier.

Is this an OpenOffice.org from http://openoffice.org ?
Have you tried one of the release candidates for 2.0.1 ?
Also have you tested with OOo 1.1.x ?

I use 1.1.3  ( .4 and .5 ) for webdav with no problems).

If you mean the XML for the document you are currently looking at, then simply 
copy SXW file to a ZIP file (i.e. copy it and change SXW to ZIP). Then open 
the file with WinZip (or equivalent). The most interesting file is 
probablythe contents.xml file.

Hi Victor,
 All OOo fiels are only zipped XML. So you can unzip the file and alter the 
file very easily. Obviously have a library to make this easier would also be 
an advantage.

Please note that many of the developers or OOo are working fulltime in the 
Central European Timezone. Therefore your question would only have been 
available for a few hours before they left work.

Also I find it better to state the problem before you state what you've tried 
to do to solve it, or what symptoms you see.

Many people have problems compiling OOo and most of this stems from the fact 
that they have not used the setup as explained in the development tools area. 
I'd advise you to have a look at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org and read 
the HOWTOs there on compiling. Obviously if you find problems and/or 
omissions then please add comments.

You can see the list of all issues with more than 10 votes : 
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/buglist.cgi?issue_status=NEW&issue_status=STARTED&issue_status=REOPENED&issueidtype=include&votes=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&field0-0-0=votes&type0-0-0=greaterthan&value0-0-0=10&cmdtype=doit&Submit+query=Submit+query

Some of these may be easy items and some may be impossible.
Have a look and do not be afraid to ask some questions.

Hi Neil,
 Have a look at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org as it has a good deal 
about how to get started. 

My recommendation is that you start working on a minor problem which really 
bugs you and solve that first.

There is a Spanish site available at http://es.openoffice.org.
Note that the language of the core components of OpenOffice.org is C++. 
However you can write extensions in C++, Java, Python or StarBasic.

As Kay already mentioned, development of various requested features is 
obviously welcome. However just as important is to get your QA team involved 
with the OpenOffice.org QA team. Have a look at http://qa.openoffice.org

And remove Nazi symbols (as they are illegal in many European countries),
and images which are illegal in Israel, and then you have those images or 
words which many feel are immoral.

Perhaps using strace will also show you if a particular system call failed.

[dev] Poor results on the mailing list thru Suns newsgroups gateway

[CPHennessy]

Hi Sunnies!
 You should know that (at least for me) almost every Sun employees replies 
coming thru your newsgroup gateway breaks email threading. Only those of you 
who are directly subscribed to the mailing lists have correct threading. 
This makes following topics quite difficult.

Another issue frequently seen with Sun replies is that there can frequently be 
2 or 3 copies of exactly the same message. 

Please can someone in Sun fix these problems, or can Sun people be encouraged 
to subscribe directly to the mailing lists ?

Thanks,

Hi Niko,
 You should be able to do quite a bit of this as an extension. There are many 
libraries which will provide the underlying functionalites for you ( have a 
look at PCL from gispython.com ). 

Note that you may not see all responses to your question as you are not

[dev] Mails from moderated users

[CPHennessy]

Hi all,
 Yes, this 'pain-in-the-ass' problem.

Currently for most people there is no visible indication in emails that they 
are from people who are not subscribed to this mailing list, so most people 
responding to those emails generally only reply to this mailing list. This of 
course means that unsubscribed users do not see the replies - unless they 
have figured out that there is a web interface or gmane.org.

Of course some could reply that if these moderated users are so stupid that 
they do not subscribe to this mailing list they should be ignored. 

However we all started off in a position of ignorance. 

The interesting thing about many of these moderated emails that never got a 
direct response, is that they are potential developers, who would at least 
like to make some contributors to OpenOffice.org. 


What I would like to suggest is :
1) people should be aware on ALL MAILING LISTS that there are moderated 
emails, and at least have a policy on whether those emails should be answered 
or not, and/or whether 

2) everyone should know how to flag the fact that an email is moderated (this 
is quite easy to do as there is an email header "Delivered-to:" which if it 
contains "moderator", is obviously a moderated email. Most modern email tools 
can be setup to do some filtering and add an indication to show that an email 
has been moderated. 

3) that ultimately the moderator should make sure that all emails get 
responded to with the OP being CC:ed.

The list of moderated emails since Feburary (which I noticed) that never got a 
reply is:
[dev] Working on PyUno
[dev] Regarding Contributing
[dev] Help required to start work
[dev] formulas OO
[dev] Preventing from document closing

format?
[dev] programming help
[dev] I'm a programmer who wants to contribute to the project
[dev] May I help?
[dev] FW:building problems on XP, need your help 


As you can see from the above list there are many potential contributors who 
are being ignored !!
