well, CSpace is not bug, freebut working very well, and if further developm,ent
is as good as the
actual release, we can trust the development here and just implement it as it
is !
You are getting me totally lost now... CSpace source code surely can't
be integrated "as it is" into OOo. As I said before, it has to be
QA'ed, adapted to OOo codestyle, refactored for integration in OOo,
etc...
This HUGE workload could be done :
- by the OOo devs. CSpace would then be forked, and the fork would not
benefit from any further development by the CSpace team. Trust me on
this, porting features requires A LOT of work, more and more with
time, and is quicly not a viable path. Moreover, resources are a
critical issue with OOo.
- or by the CSpace team, but you said before they were not interested.
Anyway that would make CSpace an OOo component, and not a stand-alone
application anymore.
There is no need for interaction amoung the components.
Then why again having an IM client that is a component, but not
integrated with the others? Look at copy/pasting between Calc and
Writer for example. This is what someone would expect from an office
suite : the ability to create whatever type of documents, all in one
application, or better say, in a set of applications so tightly bound
together and integrated to eachother that they look like being only
one. If I want to share documents with coworkers, I use email, or a
full-featured IM client if I need "live" conversation. It's just one
click away!
Dunno why you do not want to fulfil the need of office users to have an
communciation tool ?
I have no figures, so this is just a rough estimate. But I'm sure 99%
of OOo users already have an IM client installed on their computer,
and really won't mind using it for sharing documents. They would even
prefer it to a built-in client, for all the contact list stuff, the
fact that it's the same software they use to chat with their
relatives, etc etc...
Last but not least, CSpace is licenced under GPL. As you may know, OOo
is under LGPL, and this makes it *impossible* to make CSpace an OOo
component, since it would mean that OOo would have to be GPLed.
Anyway, kind of late now (2am), and I need some sleep...
Regards,
alexis
Nota : you didn't reply to one of my first questions :
So if you are not one of the developers of the software, who are you
regarding the CSpace project? PR manager? Webmaster? Tester? Simple
user?
