It's not the first time we are talking about this Ian started up once with an web-oo-extension-installer. What we need to think about is: - - - how we can present larger-scale examples - - - how we can manage OO-Extensions. there is an Issue about this but I cann't find it at the moment Tom [...] -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mandriva - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDOQ6JkVPeOFLgZFIRAucGAJ9pzd6pYW+7xci/zz2Z1YKmUIYxpACfYs5g q+nM/8DFkHvbnuhVkEKUSR8= =35rZ -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [api-dev] Translating Examples to Python
Hi, i think Kim mentioned the Java examples from the SDK. So it would make sense to integrate the examples in the SDK as well to have them in the same place. But when we do that we would need an appropriate documentation for the language binding as well (any volunteers). Kim i would suggest that we create a new sample directory python in the SDK structure and concentrate us primarily on the Developer's Guide examples because i will clean up the examples for the next version of the SDK to elimintate redundant examples. The code snippet base is also a good place for this converted examples. I would like to see that all snippets would be avalaible in all supported languages and that we can extend the collection.

Would offer to do the same for ooRexx (following the Java snippets), if you are interested. If so, please advise. Regards, ---rony P.S.: A formal announcement of the ooRexx scripting language (opensource and multiplatform) is pending (did change the support to generically support/employ UNO components), still waiting on a student to finalize the documented nutshell examples which then would make it easier to look at the language and at the way it integrates with OOo via the commandline. Support for scripting framework is there also, although I have been contemplating how to make the scriptContext-object available, as an argument or making it implicitly available via the ooRexx local runtime environment (very much like ActiveX on Windows). - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
