Greetings everyone!
Whoo hoo! yay! Today I finished the survey form for the OOo case studies (compact edition). It is located in issue 18858. The file name is "case-study-survey.sxw". Take a look at it, it's quite gorgeous.
I'd like to offer a special thanks to Adam Piggott and Jean Weber for their continuous feedback over the last few days. I've been furiously working on this survey form. Adam and Jean reviewed several drafts. Their suggestions and comments allowed the survey form to progress quickly.
I'd also like to thank Linda Worthington for her help and advice with the graphic design of form. She showed me how to get high image quality. The end result is quite clever. I have two versions of the background, one at 100ppi and another at 300ppi. They are designed so they exactly fit inside an A4 sheet of paper. So I can use the 100ppi image during development. And when the time comes to print the case studies on a professional printer, I simply swap the background by the 300ppi version.
The survey itself uses OOo form controls to ensure an unambiguous, well-behaved, user interface. Very nice, very nice.
The contents of the survey itself were reviewed a lot by Jean and Andrew, to make sure that the questions were appropriate, relevant, and well-phrased. Thanks guys!
My next step is to use the information provided by Jean and Andew to make my first two case studies. Once I get the hang of it, I'll go for something closer to the real world. Andrew has kindly offered to give the survey form to some of his friendlier customers who might be eager to give back to the OOo community.
Cheers, Daniel.
