Hi all,
From what I can tell, the 2 groups can (and are?) borrowing from each
other. I prefer its free and open concept. However, seeing some other recent
emails and some concerns of my own, I think we can make it easier for new
developers by doing the following:
1.. Copying all source code into a zip file, to get all the code just copy
that one file.
2.. Make a zip file containing descriptions of all source code. It also needs
overview modules how certain modules work together.
3.. Make a zip file containing instructions how to do complies, put
everything together, check out modules, etc.
4.. For Open Office Site, add module that lets people check out/in modules
and tell others what they are working on. Of course, there has to be a
companion transactions that allows people to see what is going on. There also
needs some kind of security to keep people from trashing the site.
If it were me, I’d break down the code into independent modules. For Writer,
that may mean don’t load the math, table, picture (frame), etc. module until
there is a need for it.
