My suggestion would to be provide a templating_team with the specifications for the template, and let them create the template.

(I'm not going to get into a PICK v RDBM debate here.) For others, a simple Write, Calc, or Impress template is suitable. In an ideal situation, there is a database_creation team, that works in conjunction with the template_creation team. The template_creation team create a calc, impress, or write template, that is then passed on to the database_creation team. This (database) team then determines whether this is something that is suitable for a database, and if so, creates a database, and the associated interface requirements. [Database rant: LibO should either add SQLite as a built in database engine, or else replace Base database engine with SQLite.] My guess is that some, if not most of the databases, will have to be constructed as extensions. For example, a genealogical database would have to be able to both import, and export data in GEDCOM format. With experience, the database_creation team and the template_creation team can construct templates, extensions, databases, and other items that are on a par with those for MSO that have an MSRP of US$10K+. jonathon -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkzQ8jUACgkQaC1raifmCuFdBACeOL6NHxl6m2WfZcwh0vASoVZH x4kAnRY+92531vKb9MwmQ3ZOopPcl/l+ =pbjt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- E-mail to [email protected] for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/marketing/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
