Hei Maarten,
thanks for your educating mail. This is actually the first time i get an
answer to why things are as they are, that i can understand. However,
being as ridiculously optimistic as i am ;-), i don't give up that
easily... ;-)
Always good to be positive :D
1. Make bouncer universal and just maintain the offerings in the
JavaScript. This is the non-ideal solution, but it would mean that the
JavaScript only offers options that are indeed available.
What do you mean with making the bouncer 'universal'?
I take it that bouncer is php? By 'universal' i meant covering all
versions, languages and OSes that have available versions lurking around
somewhere (of course, for that the NLPs would need to be instructed to
put their stuff in standard places). So that no version of OOo exists,
that isn't accessible from bouncer. This also includes that no link from
a correctly tailored JavaScript to bouncer would end up dead. With that
set up, you would have to manually tailor the JavaScript to represent
the current release availability situation. I'm assuming here that
bouncer could be made mostly automatic, so that it doesn't need to be
maintained. Then the only maintenance issue would be the JavaScript
which doesn't sound to bad to me, but also not very good. So lets look
at the other options.
Bouncer is probably php (or something alike)... but bouncer is not
something of openoffice.org... mozilla uses it as well from what I've read.
I'm not so much a fan of too much javascript changes all the time...
maybe you could think of something that can be maintained by different
people, e.g. js-files with arrays maintained by the native language
community? ... gets messy though... and a lot of files to access on each
page load. If it was serverside this is doable... but through javascript
... hmmm...
Ok, i see that there are certain servlets. What language are they based
on, in what environment are they running?
Ok... you are right, I was lying about no server side scripting at
all... but about your question I do not know. I have asked before,
multiple times and no answers. Wish I did know how it worked... there
doesn't seem to be any manual... or explanation how it works. And
whether it works in normal pages as well... probably not.
I've to go now... other stuff I reply to later ;)
g.,
Maarten
