Hello Christophe, welcome to the Apache OpenOffice project. I have been aware of your extensions and admired your work for several years. It is great to have your help and your expertise as we enhance the accessibility of OpenOffice. Since you are also an extension author, you should know that we have another mailing list, [email protected], special for extension authors. It is a good list to follow to keep informed about API changes, etc. Regards, -Rob > itself.
