I may be crazy, but has anyone considered building a 'proof-of-
concept' _application_ that works similarly to the way intended for
OOo? Yes, developing it outside OOo, but using the future file
format as much as possible (obviously not doing the rich formatting
etc, but getting the mechanics of the citation processing down)
It seems to me that the grounding of developing a working system
would help the great discussions that are happening now---sometimes
it is just simpler to see it in code. It also seems that the
complexity and dependancies inherent in working with the OOo base are
holding back the project.
Perhaps a simple java (for cross platform testability) application
would help us get a feel for the challenges of the toolchain and help
us shape the APIs for eventual incorporation into OOo.
Of course I don't mean to derail the development within the OOo
codebase, but would be a parallel activity.
Thoughts?
