Hi,
To round off the license and contributor agreement change[0] the
exempted contributions guidelines and the new source header are now
available after review by the OpenOffice.org Project Leads.
As you know additional functionality for OpenOffice.org may be provided
as an OpenOffice.org Extension. Authors of Extensions are invited to
maintain their Extensions within the OpenOffice.org Project. This will
enable you to use the available facilities like mailing lists, issue
tracking, ... and the source repository for collaboration purposes. If
you prefer to do so without signing the SCA make yourself familiar with
the exempted contributions guidelines.
The home page of the external project[1] has been updated. It now
contains the guidelines for the exempted contribution of source code
extensions.
Along the way the handling of infrastructural libraries is
now stated more precisely.
To reflect the license change to LGPLv3 a new header for the source
files will be introduced. Header templates[2] are linked from our
guidelines for participation[3] and should be used for files created
from now on. On the DEV300 codeline all source files will be changed by
Sun Release Engineering to contain the new header before we release
OpenOffice.org 3.0 Beta.
Greetings
Stefan
