Hi Andreas,

 I'm using the feedback Cor gave some month ago.

Yes, I remember that, but it was a year ago :)
BY then I was not able to quickly find a clear link between the ideas
and the steps in development. What I missed mainly, was a clear mock up
to discuss. My input was some step in that direction, but not good
enough. Alas due to severe time constraints I have, I stopped looking at
it. And since then my agenda has not improved - surprise :)

It would be great if this extensions site could get a boost. It's
important work that many users visit and there are so much suggestions
to make those visits even more a pleasure. You intended to post a
concept within the next days - a year back..  But of course you're
busy too with normal day life job and tasks. So I would consider to
accept that it's good to consider to get support from people that know
the platform, that take a lot (not all, and of course not all the fun ;)
) from your shoulders ;) IIRC there was some willingness in the board to
make that possible.

Cheers,
Cor

 Hi,

 I do have a suggestion for further development/usefulness of the sites.
 Just as themes are now being available in the LO online (and there were
 working concepts of direct access to openclipart.org as well, probably they
 will get integrated sometime in the future) it would be great to allow
 browsing for extensions and templates from the suite's UI.
it would be usefull to browse extensions and templates inside the
LibreOffice UI, but I'm afraid that's more a task for core LibreOffice
development. It would also be great if installed extensions would have a
notice feature for updates (new versions). But that's also a task for
core LibreOffice development.

Andreas

 I added a new viewlet to the addon that shows up above the content in

 a new project.

[libreoffice-website] New LibreOffice-Extensions-Template - Development Status

2014-12-29 Thread Andreas Mantke
Hello,

I worked the last weeks a bit on a Plone addon for the new LibreOffice
extension and template site. The addon uses new Plone content types:
Dexterity.

You could follow the current status of the new site at
http://vm141.documentfoundation.org:9095/LibOExtText/en/extensions

I developed already the content types for the new site. There are only
three of them: center, project, release.
Every content type get his own view. That are the templates to show the
content types (they are developed in a special markup language: TAL).

I worked only on the structure of the views and added only a very
rudimentary layout. The search form is not working yet. That's on my todo.

I'm happy to get some feedback on the current structure of the site. If
you want an account on the site please fill in the form 'Hosting your
Project' linked at the bottom of the site.

Regards,
Andreas

The user of the site will get a list of projects by rating and another
one with the newest projects.
Another suggestion?
 - a beautiful theme/CSS. 
As already described I added only a rudimentary design (css) (no real
theme yet).
I want to finish the content first and work on the theme afterwards. I
hope to get some support from css-artists for that work ;-)
The theme should be developed by using Diazo framework. That would make
it easy for webdesigner, because they don't need to know anything about
the Plone CMS (they could concentrate on CSS only) ;-)

 Right now I am afraid -but perhaps it's too early- that I see none of
 that.
That's true for the theme topic ;-)
 Good luck and thank you for your efforts!

Thanks. And I'm looking for some feedback.

Regards,
Andreas
