The latest I've seen on Greg's efforts was from July 9th: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-ooo-dev/201107.mbox/%3ccabd8flwan1afwkdmdd46g302xjhzrjdeao+-oey4mca5gep...@mail.gmail.com%3E It looks like a great start, but still a sizable list of remaining tasks. He asked for help, but I didn't see anyone take him up on that in the past three weeks. it is worth renewing that call, in case anyone missed it. But I'm not sure if we have others on the list with sufficient SVN hacking skills. Although I'd love a comprehensive solution, of the kind Greg has outlined, I also am willing to consider the possibility that "good enough" works as well. And if we don't see additional progress on the migrating the CWS's to branches, then a trunk-only migration would be the obvious Plan B. > Gav.. > > http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/ooo/trunk/tools/dev/ > > http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-ooo-commits/201107.mbox/%[email protected]%3e > > > >
