i noticed that we have made good progress with our Code Snippets in
the past two weeks, thanks to all contributors.
At this point i'd like to say thank you again to Tom and Paolo who are
responsible for the infrastructure and tooling.
Tom provides and has implemented the infrastructure and Paolo has
implemented the Code Snippet Wizard which makes it really easy to
contribute well formatted snippets. Thank you!
Hear, hear!
I haven't reached my personal goal to contribute one snippet per week
:-( shame on me - i won't promising anything but i will try to
increase my contributions.
But one further thing i would like to see (and where i think it would
be easy for newbies to contribute to OpenOffice) is that existing
snippets get translated to the other languages. And if people find
bugs or know a better solution don't hesitate to improve existing
snippets.
Well, if there was a way/category to contribute snippets in ooRexx
(http://www.ooRexx.org), then I would try to get people to do exactly
that; additionally there are already a few snippets written in ooRexx
which might be helpful for others (using other languages) as well. The
present state is beta (project name "BSF4Rexx") and will go GA
mostlikely at this year's International Rexx symposium in Austin, Texas
(cf. http://www.rexx.org), which takes place in a few weeks.
Once the support is officially released the Rexx (exists more than 25
yrs) and ooRexx (originally developed by IBM per request of its largest
customers, now in opensource) community will be curious to see how one
would drive/remote-control OpenOffice, I am sure. Having ooRexx nutshell
examples available right in the Code Snippets area would doubtlessly
help them get more interested and productive with OpenOffice.
So again, I would like to request a means to add snippets in the ooRexx
language as well.
Regards,

rony, it is probably easy possible to extend the snippet page for
ooRexx. Bring up your suggestions and i am sure that Tom will integrate
it in the infrastructure. In a second step Paolo can maybe extend the
wizard as well.

P.S.: Due to the fact that the scripting framework in OOo 2.0 is written
in Java, additional languages could become available for OOo if using
BSF (cf. <http://jakarta.apache.org/bsf>), for which a need for a place
in the snippets repository may come up.
