[dev] Re: [OT] Re: Re: Now available: Apache OpenOffice Announcement List
Hi, do you understand why there isn't a simple answer? The same concepts are expressed in similar way inside TDF's mailing lists. With the same good reasons. Sure, guess my first email was kind of naive. But I'm sure at the end the reason and the common good will prevail on egocentric positions. Hopefully :) In the meantime thanks for working on a free office suite. - Clemens -- - To unsubscribe send email to dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help
[dev] Re: Now available: Apache OpenOffice Announcement List
Why doesn't apache simply contribute to LibreOffice? I don't see the reasioning behind spliting the scarce resources any further. - Clemens 2011/12/27 Rob Weir robw...@apache.org: The Apache OpenOffice Project Management Committee is pleased to announce the availability of our new Announcement mailing list. This is a low-volume list which will be used to announce the availability of OpenOffice betas and releases, to issue security bulletins, and to report similar relevant information. This is not a discussion list. It will be used only for authoritative announcements regarding Apache OpenOffice. We encourage all OpenOffice users and other interested parties to subscribe to this list by following these steps: 1) Send an email to: ooo-announce-subscr...@incubator.apache.org 2) Wait a few minutes and then check your inbox for a confirmation email. 3) Respond to the confirmation email (If you ever want to unsubscribe, send an email to: ooo-announce-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org and respond to the confirmation email.)

Re: [dev] RFC: java 1.5
what are your opinions on making java 1.5 a requirement for OOo 3.0? I think in general its a good idea - it also will guarantee that OOo users that will install plugins written in java will also most likely will have java-1.5 installed. Because the metadata thing is something optional, the only thing that will change is that if the user would like to use java-parts of OOo he/she would have to have java-1.5 minimum installed. lg Clemens - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[dev] Where to discuss about Google's Summer of Code?
Hello, I've submitted two proposals for OpenOffice.org: * Implement Subpixel-AA for OpenOffice * Imrpove VCL The first is focused on implementing subpixel antialiased fonts in OpenOffice (also called cleartype, ...). This improves readability and font-quality on LCD displays. The second is focused on improving VCL in general: * Extend/Create layout managers and use them in real dialogs. Currently most dialogs in OpenOffice don't use a layout-manager and therefor are fixed-size. * Improve VCL's performance and perceived performance/user-feedback. Somtimes VCL feels a bit slow (e.g. openoffice's menus). * Play arround with optional double buffering, to make painting more smooth. I hope a few devs/mentors like my ideas - if you've ideas howto extend the proposals to fit them better the existing needs please let me know. Is there a special place at OpenOffice.org to discuss the proposals? I am getting a bit nervous now that google has assigned slots to the projects ;) Thank you in advance, lg Clemens - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[dev] VCL performance , feature improvements for Sommer of Code?
Hello, What do you think about writing out a summer-of-code slot this year for enhancing VCL. VCL itself is a great toolkit and I guess because of not-existing-manpower it will be used for another couple of years, but I think it lacks some features of modern toolkits. Some areas which could be improved: - Performance. Sometimes slow, sometimes bad feeling. E.g. menus in OpenOffice, Support for doublebuffering - Layout Managers. Implement Layout-Managers (already existing?) and adopt important dialogs to use them. - I am not a VCL experts but maybe there are additional things to be done? lg Clemens - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [dev] Is it still worth to work on OpenOffice' gui toolkit?
Hello Mathias, Well my personal opinion would be to better stick with QT or if this is not possible because of licensing reasons use wxwidgets. This way we'll re-invent the wheel another time. I know this has been discussed many times and I am not in a position to suggest anything, I am not very experienced at all ;) Thanks a lot for your suggestions, I'll register there. lg Clemens 2006/6/3, Mathias Bauer [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Clemens Eisserer wrote: Hello, I am a long-term openoffice user and to some degree a bit of gui performance fanatic.

I would like to work on it in my vacation, however does it still make sence to work on the currently used toolkit (vcl or however its called)? I read many articles that OOo will move to a self-written abstraction layer which uses underlaying widgets. In which timeframe will this happen, or is this still planned at all. VCL will still be our technology base for the GUI in the forseeable future as we don't expect to get enough developers to rewrite all the existing UI code in a short time frame, so working on improvements for VCL still makes a lot of sense. The only UI or graphics component in OOo that does not use VCL currently is the presentation engine (AFAIK). ATM we are extending the UNO API layer above VCL to enable the development of more feature rich components and Add-Ons that don't link against VCL and so can be implemented and deployed independently from our release and development cycles, but this layer still is on top of VCL. Wether we will replace the implementation of this API toolkit later on is still object of discussion but IMHO will not happen soon. If you are interested in improving VCL please join the dev@gsl.openoffice.org mailing list. The developers over there will be glad to get some help, I'm sure.
