Hi all
Following the OOoCon, i will setup the new incubtaor project i proposed
on my presentation
http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2005/presentations/friday_c8.sxi
to sumarize, the purpose is not to compete with api project but to help
it, puting a bridge from new addons developpers to it.
The new incubator project will adresse these points
- help new commers to deal with first steps in addon production
Help in their naive-lang may be nedded
- build generic tools implementing best-pratices for each scripting
languages so that a maximum number of addons share the same developping
guidelines and same look and feel
- provides a browsable repository
- provides a tool for users to install in 'one-click' an addon from a list
see the presentation for more details
The long term goal is to bring OOo usefull features through addon (in
whatever language supported) and integrate it in OOo if popular
You are all welcommed on board. There is a lot of work to do and not
especially hard coding but also translation and new commer welcoming
Obviously, some volunteers dealing with basic, python, java, c++ are
welcommed to help building the tools (i say, a generic wizard,
translation mechanism compatible with OOo translation tools ...)
For now, it appears that this incubator needs a new name as it is more
than scripting and we need something that identifies all the concerned
levels (dev, repository, end-users)
Here are the propositions
- addon.openoffice.org (already 1 vote)
- extensions.openoffice.org (already 3 votes)
- scripting.openoffice.org (already 0 vote) -i leave it in case
We are actually discussing on the dev@scripting.openoffice.org mailing
list. Feel free to join the discussion there
I plan to close this discussion on friday and move to the new
<putTheNameHere>.openoffice.org list when up
Thanks again and join us
Laurent
