Re: [dev] Proposal: new modules

2008-06-30 Thread Thorsten Behrens
Hi Pavel,

On Sat, Jun 28, 2008 at 10:00:00AM +0200, you wrote:
 - make cwses with new modules tinderboxable (the work is already in  
 progress)

I'm all for it, and this is the most important point - see below.

 - announce new module (e.g. in cws-announce list) much earlier then  
 integrating it in the milestone or via issue to add alias or add it to 
 the OpenOffice* alias. This could be also automated via EIS - see above.

 - peer review of new module by someone who at least knows there is also 
 configure based environment or that you can use different shells etc. 
 before the integration of the cws

I believe the two last points follow more or less directly from the
first one - hopefully, the tinderboxen cover the range of shells,
platforms etc. sufficiently.

Back to the first point, I was wondering whether maybe tagging new
modules with the CWS tag could be helpful - but then again, maybe
changing too much of SCM-related things before the switch to svn is
a waste of time...

Cheers,

-- Thorsten

[dev] Enhancement for OpenOfficeLib

2008-06-30 Thread Andreas Grüninger
Hello

My intention was to write a webservice which creates documents for our
internal applications running on Linux, Windows and MVS (z/OS).
The first implementation should be able to load existing CALC/XLS templates,
fill the data in and write to a new file mainly in XLS or PDF format. Also I
had to implement a catalog function where blocks of rows should be
repeatedly filled with data and the new rows are added below the already
written cells. We called it dynamic rows. You may describe also as table
with an unknown number of rows and where the rows of the tables may have
cells with different formats.

This is just the first step to replace an old solution developped by me and
used now for 10 years. The solution creates the most common file formats and
delivers the output to the recipients by means of several transmission
protocols.

The new solution works now as follows:
- Windows Server 2003, IIS6, .Net 3.0, WCF 3.0 extensions
- OpenOffice running as a service and listening to 127.0.0.1 (see
http://ibgrueninger.de/blog/index.php/2008/06/07/openoffice-as-a-service/)
- a webservice with the name DCI written in C# 3.0
- a businesslayer which uses Powershell runspaces to do the conversion work.

One of the main problems was that Powershell needs early binding and can't
use the UNO interfaces.

My first shot was to download AODL and check it out.
Unfortunately AODL can't be used. The conversion of 400 data rows needed 15
minutes and a lot of RAM. It may be that my usage of AODL was wrong and
there may be better ways to it with AODL as I did it. Loading of the
templates lasts very long and the replication of rows and inserting of the
new nodes costs a lot of time.

So I took the subtree OpenOfficePrinter as base of a wrapper library. I
addes classes and a lot of methods needed by me. If the methods have UNO
interfaces in the signature I defined a second method signature where
objects replace the UNO interfaces.
The 2 signatures allows the usage of the library with Powershell or C# or
any CLR producing language with the same method call.

Compared with AODL the same conversion takes now  2 seconds.

If you are interested in getting the source code and integrating it in the
odftoolkit let it me know.

I am willing to maintain the source code in the near future and contribute
as much as possible of the source code to the community.

Kind regards

Andreas Grüninger

[dev] Touchpad Related Issue

2008-06-30 Thread Drake Anubis

Hello,

I recently began using open office on my laptop. However typing in  
Writer is absolutely impossible, as my hands frequently graze the  
touchpad and jump the cursor to another position in the document. I'm  
aware of the various ways to limit mouse sensitivity in gnome, and  
there is also a dock applet that allows you to lock the mouse out of  
the way.


Other word processors, most notably Microsoft Word, ignore sporadic  
movements from the touchpad while the user is typing. I can think of  
no valid reason that a user would be typing and clicking the mouse at  
the same time, so is there a technical reason this type of ignore  
feature can not be built into Writer? Or has this issue just been  
overlooked entirely?


Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing back from you.

[dev] Hot item for wish list

2008-06-30 Thread Andrew Greig
Hi all,

Thanks for your outstanding work on this product.  I am not a developer
so I contribute through the Community Distribution project.  I am really
excited about the feature list for 3.0.  The integration of Thunderbird
and Lightning is a great idea.  I remember the address list etc in Star
Office 5.2. And while I have been a user of Evolution for many years, I
have been frustrated by the difficulties encountered when trying to sync
my Palm or my wife's Windows Mobile PDAs.  JPilot has always worked well
for me but it lacked the addressbook features of Evolution.  I never did
get going with KDEPim and K-Mail.

It would be fantastic if you could somehow use the code from JPilot to
sync the Thunderbird addressbook with a PDA of any flavour.

That's it, this is the thing that will push my buttons.

Many thanks

[dev] OOoCon 2008 organizational team needs your help (desperately)

2008-06-30 Thread Peter Junge

Dear OOo Community,
(especially those of you, who are potential attendees of the OOoCon 2008 
in Beijing, November 5 to 7)


please excuse to repeatedly bothering you with such messages and
cross-posting it to quite a bunch of lists. Please follow up with any 
discussion at [EMAIL PROTECTED].


The organizational team in Beijing needs *your* *action* in order to
quantify the number of people, who will attend the OOoCon in Beijing
form November 5 to 7. We need this information for many reasons. Most
important for you, we will base our negotiations on discounted flight
tickets on it. We have been in touch with airlines so far, but talks
always stall, because they want to know an estimated number of attendees
and an overview on their origin before talking about special conditions.
So, please help us and take our pre-registration survey at:
http://surveytest.services.openoffice.org/surveys/index.php?sid=74227lang=en

We would like to ask everyone, who is considering to visit the OOoCon in
Beijing, to to join by answering the following questions:
- What is your name?
- What is your email address?
- What is your nationality?
- How likely is your attendance at the OOoCon in Beijing?
  [100% / 75% / 50% / 25%] We will generate some statistics from that.
- What is your background of visiting the OOoCon?
  [Large business, e.g. Sun (1) / Small business (2) / Private
  Contributer with a special function at OOo, e.g. Project Lead (3) /
  Hobbyist (4)]
- Last but not least, I would also like to know, if you are interested
  to attend some presentations about FOSS in China besides OOo. If an
  appropriate number of you is indeed curious, we will try to have
  some speakers available at Tuesday (Nov 4) before the main conference.

Besides gathering information for negotiations of discounted flights, we
also want to use the survey to approach the people, who completed it,
directly and help them with their visa applications. This is surely
another main benefit to take part in the survey.

Best regards,
Peter
