Hi,

I'm working on a new dialog layout engine for OpenOffice.  It is now
past the proof of concept stage.  As a working example we have
converted two simple dialogs: zoom and word count.

The idea is to replace existing dialogs with a minimum of client code
changes (we only need to include some header files).  The dialog's
.SRC description is converted to a new .XML description that the new
layout engine uses.  The layout module contains a tool, src2xml, to
help the conversion.

For some screenshots and more details you may see my blog
http://lilypond.org/blog/janneke/index.html .  There has also been
some discussion and quite some interest on the dev.openoffice.org
mailing list.

The layout module is currently being maintained outside of OOo in a
GIT repository, and included in the default ooo-build as a set of
patches.  I think the time has come to start putting this in a CWS, so
that other people can start looking at (and working with) this code.
Best is probably a new top level module called `layout' in the `gsl'
project.  Can you help me to get that created?

Greetings,
Jan.
