Hi people. I have some ideas about OpenOffice improvements and I wanted to
know: how do those fit for Google summer of code this year? Do those appear
in development priorities?
1. Smart zoom (additional controls would be shown rather font resize)
2. Gnash movie support for OpenOffice
3. Multimedia add-ons support for Adobe Reader targeted export
4. MathML formula editor with Ribbon interface + exporting a MS Word doc
with Word compatible formula editor format [MathML to OLE binary converter]
5. Document review services threw OpenOffice tools & email/NFS/Samba
share(s)
6. OpenOffice collaboration support with replication against project
management tool (Redmine with openoffice web preview plug-in?)
7. Provide a translation command in Writer menu:
1. Using Lingvo web site
2. Using offline dictionary (not multilingual!)
8. Note: translation results should appear in (a set of) dialog based
window(s) - to ensure that nested occurrences are separated
9. In-place translation of word in Impress without exiting presentation
mode:
1. Word itself is targeted threw mouse cursor (or any external
pointing device - perhaps slides are showed in wide screen) ( + hotkey?)
2. Hands-free facility: voice recognition initiation
10. Organize Writer preferences for mode center customization, e.g.
educational/reading mode, document forming/preparation mode, etc.
11. IEEE standard driven document populating facility - smart editing
tools for forming technical documents "under rules' pressure"
12. "Getting stated" point is the same panel as File->Templates and
documents
1. Document formation rules could be activated threw IEEE on-line
services at back-end
2. When document generated from template - activate facilities for
interactive add-ins in case of PDF exporting:
3. Unnecessary performance could be lost in case if user will not
decide to export to PDF
13. Provide collaboration facilities with use of contacts of co-workers
and reading/conversation rights threw LDAP (OpenDS?)
14. Provide technical task forming tools to Writer
Thanks. John
