Let's not forget that extensions could be embedded within the official installer. Choosing between an extension and "something else" (a module?) is IMHO a choice about how to _develop_ this. By keeping a separate code base from the AOO main trunk, we could have more focused development. By using an extension, we would have the possibility to update that ``part of AOO'' without recompiling the full AOO distribution, during the development. I also expect that developing an extension will be easier than learning how the AOO code is organized, what classes do what etc. And maybe we may not even need C++, but rather Basic, Python or other more accessible programming languages. I hope this makes sense, and I encourage anyone interested to start reading this: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Extensions_development Best regards, -- Arrigo --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
