--- Comment #22 from Jean-Marc Liotier <j...@liotier.org> ---
Today, Mathias Bauer provided us
(https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=81480#c10) with some details
about the multiple layout work that has been performed, in part to make outline
view possible:

I'm no longer working on OpenOffice, so I can only talk about what I did until
2011.

Until that point in time we layer the ground for multiple layouts, but didn't
actually use that capability because (AFAIR) some parts needed some extra work. 

All code that had hit the trunk of Ooo is part of Apache OO. As the LO people
usually copied most of the OOo/AOO stuff, I assume all of this is in their repo
also.

The basic idea of the refactoring was to revert dependencies: instead of having
the document know the one and only existing layout object and manage it from
there, there should be just a collection of layouts that all know the document
and actively retrieve information from there.

AFAIR the remaining work was associated with dividing drawing objects into a
model and a view part, so that every layout can have its own drawing object
view (based on the same drawing object that is part of the core). Armin LeGrand
and Oliver Wittmann have been involved in the discussions, and both of them are
still working on AOO.
