Hi all devs,
I know we all wait for the code and the missing contributions from
Oracle. But no reason to plan ahead.
One think I like to see is the removal of the binfilter module after the
code has been contributed.
Reasoning
The binfilter module is a huge set of code duplicated from all
application modules and various high level
modules. It's main purpose is to implement load and store of pre xml
binary document formats
from the StarOffice era. Removing this code would spare us a lot of work
while we try to have our
first release buildable and running.
...
Proposal
I suggest to remove the binfilter module after the code has been
provided under the AL.
Therefore we have it inside the SVN and could re activate it later.
Preferable as a separate
extension.
+1 on removing, at least for now.
It sounds like a lot of code for a lightly used feature.
I would hate to see users stranded not being able to open those files so
I'm also for working toward an extension for that functionality if
that's possible.
Regards,
Carl
