Hi,
Bernd Eilers a �crit :
In EIS ( http://eis.services.openoffice.org ) there is a new menu entry
"Misc/Check specification" available.
Yes, found it :-)
Hehe ... propose a new choose for the login is a good thing too! (
normal/guest )
As you all might know for new OpenOffice.org features specification
documents should be written. Most of them can be found at
http://specs.openoffice.org.
Yes, I know, and this is an important link for me since some times.
Specification documents MUST use the template available at
http://specs.openoffice.org/collaterals/Specification_template.stw
Ok, no problem. I'll strictely follow your recommandations.
We have a semi-automatic WhatsNewGuide creation process where those
documents are automatically parsed and content for the whatsnewguide is
extracted. This does only work of course if section headers etc. are
kept in tact and if the right template has been used.
ok
The new feature in EIS checks wether a given specification document is
suitable for the semi-automatic WhatsNewGuide creation by applying the
same XSL-Transformations to it for example.
Unfortunatly for existing specifications not always the right template
has been used or wrong modifications have been made to the document.
Sometimes specifications are not even using StarOffice Writer documents
at all. This means that sometimes the XSL-transformations would work and
sometimes they wont. Annother common error detected by this feature in
some specifications is to start the abstract section with something like
"This document" or similar this is also not suitable for the
whatsnewguide creation and should be changed.
Just a test : check about Mac OSX word gave me :
Error: no title found Error: no abstract found Error: no owner found
Ufff... really nothing ? :-/
Maybe the template has not been correctly used ?
Anybody who has been written specifications is encouraged to check them
with this new EIS feature. If errors should occur please update the
specification by starting with a new document using the correct template
and copy the content from the not suitable specification to it.
I'm not sure to be completely right, but ask for specification can be
proposed, right ?
So, if this is possible it might be interessant for all to discover
that "another way" exists, and to illustrate this point, I'll propose
new docs, about Apple Aqua Human Interfaces Guidelines. Just as example...
Since I contribute for OpenOffice.org, I never have seen a real effort
about Mac OSX users interface nor look'n feel, but I'm sure some will
beinterested with this.
The feature is also accessible with the following direct URL ( without
EIS men�s surrounding it )
http://eis.services.openoffice.org/EIS2/guide.CheckSpecification
Thank you very very much for this feature. Great idea !!
Regards,
eric bachard
