Hello Clytie, Xin Chao Clytie, thank you for your message. I think it would be better if we were to have this discussion on [email protected] , the mailing list of the Native-Lang Projects, including the vi.openoffice.org. My name is Charles-H.Schulz and I'm the lead of the Native-Lang Confederation (NLC). I am working with Pierre Dao-Duy, and sometimes with Nam T.
You will find this URL interesting: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Features#Planned_Features_for_2.1_Release_.28December_2006.29 However, keep in mind that OOo is Free Software. It is not clear (unless I missed some important information) wether OOo 2.1 will be ready on the 6th of December. It is thus important for you to keep that in mind. I don't even think that all the features have been precisely determined for inclusion in the 2.1. On another topic, I would just like to point you to some ressources and adequate mailing lists of the OOo projects. First, the [email protected] is THE mailing list for all the localizers of OOo. Rafaella Braconi, Pavel Janik and Eike Rathke are here to help you as well as many others. The NLC gathers every worldwide community of OOo localizers, users, documentation writers, marketers and QA testers in every language possible. As such, the L10N project and the NLC are very symbiotically intertwinned, but each of their scope is a bit different from the other. Instead of using Google Groups, I'd recommend that you use OOo's tools: -vi.openoffice.org mailing lists (you can create a new one but [email protected] should be the right list for your works) -discussion forums available on the VI.OOo project -the OOo wiki: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki & http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/NLC (Pierre can work with you on setting up the vietnamese wiki, it is very easy). Last but not least, I noticed that you are using the Wordforge's tools such as Pootle. There is already a set of po files for vietnamese OOo here: http://pootle.arsaperta.org . Ask Nam T. for more details or myself (as I'm hosting that server). Hope this helps. Welcome to our community and welcome to OOo! Regards, Charles-H.Schulz.
