Hi Christian,
Christian Lippka - Sun Microsystems Gmbh - Hamburg a écrit :
Sorry Eric, it is not about the number of features, it is about the complexity.
Sure, and I see the difference :-)
For example, if there are 1001 ways to add a footer to your document,
start imagine how to implement a "show/hide" footer feature....
Ok, even if I'm not skilled in this domain (but I'm pretty sure I can
help anyway, like a lot of other people),
but I know only one method to solve such issues: work together, and
concentrate on the technical part.
So let's start ... I propose to organize a public IRC meeting, with
everybody is warmly invited,
and all sides represented.
As first agenda, I'd suggest :
Point1
make [as objectively as possible] a point about what does at the moment
use OpenOffice.org,
for rendering : explain the history, the possibilities, and compare with
what
Suggestion : Kai Ahrens, Christian Lippka, Thorsten Behrens, Radek Dulik
and
other skilled people only, to pre-define commonly the content
(will save time too, and let us concentrate on the essential)
Point 2
Shortly : explain [objectively] the current solution, explain
licenses/trademark issues
Main point: what can be reused in OpenOffice.org
Suggestion : could be somebody not specialist, and CC member, for
neutrality reason, chairing/driving this poin,t ?
Point 3
Define publically and together a choice about the future renderer to
use, and start working all on that.
Suggestion : all can suggest ideas, but after skilled specialist
defended their point of view.
Good sign of democracy : arrive to a consensus, without vote ...
Action Item for second meeting (What Alexandro proposed can be added, of
course, but I don't have the link at hand):
- propose a pre-todo : the list of features to be written / implemented
- identify/ recruit resources
- define teams wortking on that
- propose a timeline
- propose rules for the team working on that
Date : this week say Friday in the morning, and an hour like 11:00 am (
CEST, i.e Paris / Hamburg) ?
Next IRC meetings: every two weeks ?
Of course, this is a draft, and it can be amended, modified .. and so on
... any feedback greatly appreciated"
Looking forwqard to reading you,
Eric Bachard
