Hi Kay and...
Thanks so much for the one word descriptions! Yes, I was hoping
someone could come up with a nice short scheme like this.
One word grabs the eye, then they click on it to find out more. ;)
Every header could have, before the seperate projects are listed, a
short introduction, which may explain how the projects interrelate or
something... or what kind of tasks one may expect in these subprojects.
Hmmmm....I had intended to include Kay Ramme's chart on this page
somehow, but, yes, I think some sort of "interlacing" is highly
desirable. I haven't come up with any good ideas on this one.
I thought so ;) ... but then, when I saw your page, I think it makes a
good first start... we can improve it always later... but getting all
the projects (sort of) sorted out in this listing you created is already
a great step forward. Sometimes it is better to break things in smaller
steps. I don't think it is a problem to halt working on it then for a
while, and publish it... people will comment on it... well, the
opensource philosophy at work in webpage writing ;)
I don't know if QA fits with i18n, but it doesn't really fit
anywhere else, either. :S Certainly a lot of the QA time is spent
on non- English builds, but it applies to the default builds, as well.
I'd suggest adding it to support... while it is quite different from
writing end-user documentation, yet I believe QA attracts the same
kind of contributors: namely those who are quite knowledgeable about
OOo, but aren't hardcore programmers too.
Furthermore, since the product components category already contains
quite some projects, maybe it is good to make some subgroupings...
Furthermore, I think dba should be among the products-category too
(it's now listed under extension, but is actually a product).
My main reason for doing this, well, dare I say, OUR main reason,
should be to get folks pointed as quickly as possible to "projects"
that may be of interest to them. My problem, in looking into this, is
that I had a difficult time in offering clear explanations for some of
the projects, frankly. OK, thanks for the feedback on the DBA
business. Like I said, difficult for me to make good assessments on
some of these.
I just missed 'base' in the product listing... so I went looking for it
;) I don't have a good overall view over the project myself... I believe
that getting this list online will result in better feedback (maybe the
updated project listing can be announced on the project leads
mailinglist, and thus be criticized by all project leads?)
