Project Proposal : ODF Toolkit Scope Summary The scope of the "ODF Toolkit" OpenOffice.org project is:
1. To improve the ability to use OpenOffice.org as a programming framework for creating and processing ODF documents rather than to use it as a desktop application. This will be achieved by transforming an appropriate subset from the OpenOffice.org source code basis, and by adapting it to the new purpose.
2. To provide a home for components that can be used for processing ODF documents and that are either based on the new ODF Toolkit, or complement it.
Both together will constitute the ODF Toolkit, which is a toolkit for office document creation and processing based on ODF. This toolkit will share its source code with the OpenOffice.org desktop application where ever this is reasonable. That is, based on the OpenOffice.org source code, there will be the OpenOffice.org suite, and an ODF Toolkit, which is tailored to processing office documents outside traditional office desktop applications.
Developers interested in moving beyond office suite functionality to areas that express files as ODF, however "beyond" is imagined, are invited to join. We envision this project as giving all a hint of the potential of OpenOffice.org source and ODF.
