Hi Eric, all, first of all i would like to propose to move any further discussion on only one mailing list.

Long time after, when the need became obvious for the Eucation Project to provide an Education oriented office suite, I was very early in contact with Stella Schultze, to discuss with her about design issues, and some other reasons I don't remin exactly. And indeed, she suggested to have a look at StarOffice4Kids. with more or less the same idea. I agree I derived StarOffice4Kids name, to create the OOo4Kids one. Indeed the idea is similar. I don't know ho wthings where done with StarOffice4Kids, but we have decided to strictely follow what the teachers ask (in fact, they must demonstrate every need). Did you the same ? Can you tell me more about that ? I can't answer your question i wasn't really involved in the project and it was done by an external vendor. The colleague who mentored this project doesn't work for Sun anymore. Nevertheless, there is at least one big difference : because of the slow / poor / old machines most of the schools have, we decided to not use Java ( StarOffice4Kids is mostly Java if I'm not wrong), but maybe was it only a prototype ? yes, probably the better way is to modify the existing user interface... StarOffice4Kids used the officebean and put an own simplified Java UI around. Formally : create a new branch, completely independent of , including milestones, like OOo does what do you mean by completly independent ? I would expect that this branch should kept in sync with OOo releases ? Work on the same things should be done on the same code base. For example Eric talked about performance. Edu performance projects could be seen as sub projects of the performance project with a special focus on educational things, maybe driven as university project ... In my vision of the Education Project working on performance issues, there are - I'd say - gurus, who do constitute the Performance projects core.

Re: [dev] What is soffice.bin used for?
Hi Daniel, This is a newbie question, but what is soffice.bin and why does soffice.exe launch it as a separate process? Is soffice.bin just a copy of soffice.exe renamed to soffice.bin? Also, can someone please point me in the right direction as to how to set a breakpoint at the main entry point for soffice (i.e. where is soffice.exe's main() function)? I've compiled the 'desktop' module with 'debug=true', but when I copy soffice.exe and soffice.pdb over to my OO3 installation and try to launch, it always fails to load required DLLs. Actually soffice.bin is the main executable. The soffice.exe is basically just a starter and the crash reporter. If for example you need to debug what is going on, you need to debug soffice.bin.

[dev] Re: [project leads] Re: [dev] Proposal : OOo4Kids as official part of OpenOffice.org Project
Hi, Le 9 août 09 à 12:40, Andrea Pescetti a écrit : I support the idea of a version of OOo tailored for 7-12 years old students. And I say you thank you very much, for your support ! That said, I expected that the initial effort went more in the direction of including additional cliparts, providing educational content, In fact, the OOo4Kids project, as just a little part of the whole, is not made for that, because there is something else already existing, to fit the need. But let me explain more : the main objective of the Education Project, is to create a strong bridge between the Educationnal World, and OpenOffice.org Project. For that, we (not only me, but the people who participated to the IRC meeting, and the organization) have choosen 3 directions/axes: Point 1: create a network of academic correspondants ( and schools ! ) Concerned public: teachers, for cooperative work, provide feedback, link them with other OpenOffice.org Projects, represent us in local events (*Education* oriented only) Point 2: propose a space for content (pedagogical purpose only). Campus Libre, and our next toy Concerned public: teachers, students for cooperative work, around OpenOffice.org and pedagogical contents (only, nothing use of OOo) Point 3 : attract new developpers (see Education Proejct Effort on the wiki). Concerned public: schools, professors, students, developers, professionals .. and so on Shortly : OOo4Kids is the way we to rely 1 and 3, thus, to work on 2. So, the need is more complicated that the apparence let imagine, and what you are talking about is already existing (though, a bit young). Please search for CampusLibre on http://www.educoo.org website. (btw, feel free to provide whatever Educational material: it will be welcome) P.S. : to avoid boring people, and for further information about the entire structure, please read : http://eric.bachard.free.fr/ Education/LinuxDays2009/en-US/Linux_Days2009_en-US_ericb.pdf simplifying the UI: more or less, the same indications I read in http://wiki.ooo4kids.org/index.php/Main_Page Simplify the UI is almost started (like menus in writer already, searching how improve the fonts, and so on). All of this is continuous work. Port important changes, make everything build, work, fix bugs, is the mandatory first step. And yes, I assume : the 1.0 will not integrate everything (excepted if 10 devs join the project today, and work all the summer on OOo4Kids :-) Instead, this list of 1.0 goals seems very aggressive in the direction of reducing/optimizing OOo, And why not ? :-) The content, respecting the need and the reducing / optimizing, respecting the reality, are complementary there : we need to provide something simple (7-12 children) and light (old machines, or XO, gdium low power netbooks). Everything is compromise in this situation. Nevertheless, if you have a better solution to make the software work on poor in ram and powerless machines, please tell us. I'd be really eager to read your solution :-) which gets almost no coverage on http://wiki.ooo4kids.org/ I'm glad you consider OOo4Kids with such interest, but what you wrote about the coverage is not true. This is the beginning (see the creation date), and everything is not concentrated on the wiki you mentionned : we have other places, where things are progressively set up. For example, in parallel, we work with teachers, and teachers managing teachers .. an so on, more people, institutions than it appears. And we must progress prudently, even silently from time to time. and which will probably distract from the educational goal. Sorry, but no. We never have been so close to the Educational goal, even doing optimization :) (the one who will bring the most to OpenOffice.org). Apparently, we temporarly do not work for elementary level, but what we do does concern all levels, including high schools. Doing that (reducing/optimizing OOo) is technically extremely interesting, for a lot of reasons. First, because we must have a good knowledge of the build process, and of the sources too. Second, we need to assume portability, stability, and even more. Third, we do all that with students (real engineers schools students), whom we explain how it works, how to trace. In fact, we teach them OpenOffice.org, and more generally Open Source way of life, but without disturbing the upstream process. Last but not least, our contacts with schools participating to the effort are extremely promising. As example, the last two days, we started to play with OpenOffice.org + Valgrind with two students from Epitech Paris. Starting from nothing one month ago, both know already the basics of gdb, build OOo and OOo4Kids on Linux and Windows. Believe me or not, but a lot of engineers schools would like to have such alive courses or their students. Do I

One for kids, one for traditional office users, etc. IMHO, there is no need to redefine a new look. The teachers don't care about the look. they want something adapted. i am not sure. We need maybe no complete new look but a fresh and modern look and i am sure we can improve things. But lets see what the Renaissance project will bring us, they analyze a lot of user data ... I don't know if this is possible but it's worse to think about it. Maybe you thought worth ? (sorry, my poor english striked again :) of course i meant worth, in this case it was my pure English ;-) We should try to work together in all the different areas and not side by side. What will certainly work. Now, it's important work together, but not to be controled by. Now, to answer you, all propositions are welcome. From our side, I can't remember the number of times I invited people, including developers, to present us what they do, under the form of IRC ClassRooms. i know and i assume that it is in most cases simply the lack of time Of course, the invitation is still valid : what about see people from performance, UX, whatever project, join and present what they do to the students on the channel ? The success of these ClassRooms is really important (I myself particulary appreciated the one from Philipp Lohmann (gsl), and Mathias Bauer (framework) ). At a point the system will be copied by other entities (teach OpenSource is in the mood). i know and i wanted to present as well but simply wasn't able to make it until today. I promise that i will prepare something ... As example, we could have people in charge to organize, one the UX part, one the performance part, one something else .. Another possibility (add both works too), could be to see, at fixed hours/day in the week, be present on the IRC channel, and answer the questions the students could have. Have a dedicated wiki page, to prepare the questions .. and so on. maybe, i personally don't really like IRC. I am sometimes online but most often i simply haven't it running. But that is something where i can improve myself. IMHO, the best way is to see more devs joining : things will automaticaly improve afterwards, without the need to add administrative things in the middle. Waiting, I'd like to say a big thank you to Thorsten Behrens, Bjoern Michaelsen, Cedric Bosdonnat and Pierre Pasteau, who are present ~ every day on the channel, for the quality of their contributions.
