Hi Laurent,
do you think it could be integrated before 3.0 ?
That depends on what we figure out needs to be done in the end and how it fits within the rest of tasks that need to be done. I rellay can't say much about this until there was at least some more detailed planning for OOo 3.0.
as a method of XTextRange ?
No. XTextRange is already a published interface since ages and thus can not be altered this way. Maybe just a new property for the service TextRange will do. I need to discuss with OS about this. If not we need a complete new interface, that one may be derived from XTextRange but for the time being I do not see the advantage of deriving it from XTextRange compared to a bnew interface that has a XTextRange as parameter to it's function.
what about an uno package ?
Not for the new interace. It won't work. This functionality / API needs to implemented at least in the Writer and EditEngine core and you can't do this from outside. If you could we wouldn't have the problem in the first place. ^_~ For the grammar-checker / proof-reader finally using that new API it makes of course sense to use an UNO package.
do you need help on specifications ? do you have some ?
We don't have one yet. I tend to say that such a short new API is a minor task that does not need a spec, but on the other hand there are other things to consider like: just having a new API implemented and being used won't raise the spell check context menu when right clicking on our newly marked text part. Thus some simple list of things that should work and how is probably nice. But it needs not to be as lengthy and elaborated as a full spec. If you have a rough idea what needs to work in the end, it is probably best to start with defining the new API. That is to write an IDL file with the full documentation for the new API. When we have agreed on the interface we can start with the implementation and need the mini-spec only at the end to check if everything we needed was fully covered.
