To All and the OpenLink Crew,
As my first posting to this list, I have some getting started newbie
developer questions. I have installed the Windows binaries (with
everything running fine) and have downloaded and extracted the source
code as well. I should note that my immediate interest is in interface
mods and refinements, so that I am focusing on ODS and its associated
.vspx and .css files.
1. The ODS Quick Start guide
(http://virtuoso.openlinksw.con/wiki/main/Main/OdsConfig) indicates I
can install the ods_filesystem.vad package to make Web page changes on
the fly. I could not find that package, nor explanations of which source
files go in it if I wanted to re-build it
2. I have checked the excellent (but some dated, and most geared to the
commercial version) Virtuoso documentation and can find no documentation
on ods_dav.vad. Would I be correct that *after* making any UI code
changes that is advisable to re-build this package?
3. Are there any utilities to access and modify either .vsp or .vspx
files? Working with the XML directly is pretty hairy
4. It would seem that either an adoption or a bridge to XUL would make
sense for VSPX (or perhaps some way to cross-link the two). It strikes
me that take up for anything with a UI component depends on having a
critic mass in a user community
5. Where might I find any documentation regarding how to create my own
Virtuoso/ODS plug-ins?
6. Is there documentation for how best to include OAT with ODS, and does
it add anything at present out of the box?
Forgive me for the number of questions; there will certainly be more to
come.
Thanks, Mike
