Re: [tdf-discuss] Re: Adding the browser to Libreoffice
Mmmh. What about extensions for existing browsers ? You talk about creating a browser without even a differenciation factor which makes the idea irrelevant. And I'm not even talking about the resources as some of you might have mentioned. But on the other side, browser extensions might actually be a good idea, especially for Firefox and Chrome.

Yifan web based support is already in the works. Michael Meeks is conducting that work, but its not ready for use yet.

Why not use something like the chromium browser ( aka chrome) that is open source. Why would the wheel need to be reinvented?

Re: [tdf-discuss] Adding the browser to Libreoffice
I'm a common and simple user, no more, no less, so perhaps there's a part of the picture i'm missing, but there are some questions that arise: - What would be the befenit of adding a browser to the current office suite ? - What different features would keep you from reinventing the wheel / allow you to do a better job than other communities that are "dedicated" to mantaining and creating a browser ? - Is this really the best place to put dev effort at the moment for libreoffice ? My implicit response is that I don't like the idea, and I think the community will react negatively to it. To me, it is a bit far fetched.

Dear all, after some talks with some board members, the request rised to include more members and developers in the idea of adding a browser to Libreoffice.

Hi, Am 08.11.2012 07:33, schrieb Jonathan Aquilina: > Base is the equivalent and is already part of Libre Office In order to avoid wrong expectations: Base is NOT a substitute for Microsoft Access. It is not meant as a substitute for Microsoft Access and nobody seriously claims it to be. You may be able to access Data from within a MDB-File with LibreOffice Base. But you are not able to use an application with forms and macros within an MDB-File with LibreOffice Base. You may be able to rudimentarily reproduce such an application in LibreOffice Base, though.
