Great ;v)))) It seems that the ratio project managers / developers are too high. > First, an application that does not focus entirely on the Gantt shart model > for project management.

It looks like a variation of open standard format for file exchange AND the option to use a databaseserver to control the project. > What (if any) can you contribute with? > -------------------------------------- > Like someone else has said I have more experience with other languages than > with C++ or Java.

But if you would learn it would be great - if you have time you could start by debugging other parts of OpenOffice.org first - and keep an eye on the OOPM project to see when we are ready to implement the design. > Failing that, I could help with testing.

We really need the OOPM to handle the OOPM project ;v))) Maybe we can't sign all the tasks when we are finished describing the design because it is too optimistic to think that we would have all the developers to create the OOPM when we start the implementation phase. > 3.

Even though I am the former marketing coordinator for OpenOffice.org in Denmark I had not thought of that. Shame on me. I think we should try and get an experienced OpenOffice.org developer connected to the project who could guide the project in the right direction so the code would be easy to integrate/communicate with the rest of the OpenOffice.org suite. > I will plug it in my blog soon...
