Hi Jurgen

i join you on the lack of time but also to the emphasis of Tom and Paolo great work !!

Even for the last point i think that it could make sense to move into the OO wiki with the snippet collection but i am not sure. What are your opinions? Do you would expect more contributions, improvements when the snippets would be in a wiki system where changes are easier?


Hi would say that the reference has to stay stable (non easely editable) as snippets are usually tested and are working
But for translation, here is what i plan to do for the "extensions" projetc

- a reference text in english on the OOo site
- the translations on the wiki pointed from the site
(perharps directly by languages, or with an intermediate page (less work on update when new languages)

Then someone contributes in english, and a chapter is opened on the wiki to gather translations that can be an iterative work

The next step will be to reverse the process as a complementary approach : create something in a language and progressively translate it in english. Once ok, lets put it as static on the page

So for the code snippet, a link pointing on the wiki with the access to its translation - Did Ian achieve its syntax highlighting job ?


Let start us an open discussion to find the best solution to spread the API knowledge to make programming with and for OpenOffice easier.


The article contest is also a way
And the translation of articles may be could help

Regarding documentation, is the developpers guide free ? what licence ?
Some parts (not all) could be translatable

Other ideas are also welcome and this shouldn't be competing to our new "extensions" project. I would like to address more the technical features and documentation, where the stuff gets hosted later is not important here. But that something (and hopefully more in the future) is available, is easy to find, is well structured ... is important for the success of any programmability story around OpenOffice.


I totally agree and hope having time to help through the developpers part of the extension project
