Okay... You know of course that OOo site supports javascript and it
is used heavily by quite a few pages? These include the download pages.
Yes I know, however I asked for a repository of code, for example the
CSS is embeded in the template so new users don't have to re-code the
interface of OOo Site.
If we have a repository of code for Javascript we in theory provide
more tools for webdevelopers across the project.
We have a "repository" but for now it only has the tables decoration
script in it...
the location is
"/branding/scripts"
I discussed this a little in the new style guide I just completed. As
soon as Louis approves it (<G>), I'll put it out where it needs to go.
For example I am looking for a banner randomizer, now, I have to
install it and configure it so it can run properly in
es.openoffice.org, however if there was a repository already I could
just link to it and have it available in less time.
Since this is a web-developement proyect it makes sense to provide this
tools for the OOo web mantainers.
You can see public (advertisement driven) repositories here:
http://www.bravenet.com/webtools/
And not fully open source but good enough repositories here:
http://hotscripts.com/JavaScript/Scripts_and_Programs/index.html
of course the problem with this is that we still need to download it,
learn it, configure it, upload and run it. While if we already have it
available on the site, and properly configured, then we can simply just
link to it.
Unfortunately we can't get AJAX here working (no surprise here) in
openoffice.org but still will be a good idea to have some kb about
improving the sites.
Not sure exactly what you mean, Alexandro. Can you explain in
greater detail?
Cheers,
Louis
AJAX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJAX), is a JavaScript + XML
framework which lets you display information from the backend without
reloading the actual page. If you know or use the Gmail interface, you
are using Ajax.
Since the page doesn't reload is faster to display information. If we
have Ajax we could in theory present information faster and more user
friendly. For example the distributor page will could greatly benefit
from AJAX.
However SourceCast closed source won't let us access to the backend so
we can't really have a database driven data.
