 We can do it in phases. As usual, we are a widely distributed project and
 indeed it's very hard that all the most competent people for each topic are
 physically in the same place. For some topics we will have the best people,
 for some other topics we will have competent people who can still deliver a
 good presentation, for some we may have nobody. and those should then be
 removed.

  In any case, I would like to send out a message  to our announcements
 and dev lists about the topics and the conference before Jan. 1 if
 there are no objections.


 The dev list is OK for a start (last time I sent a request for talk
 proposals to the announce list, I got several funny but useless proposals).
 So if we can start by finalizing the topics, then ask here if we have
 volunteers for each topic, we can start putting some names.


Sounds like a good way to me, please remember there might be some papers in
CFP already (as reviewers you have access) and secondly the deadline for

Re: Need help in the code jungle of starmath

2014-12-28 Thread Regina Henschel

Hi Dennis,

Dennis E. Hamilton schrieb:


 In the ODF 1.2 specification, the use of MathML within ODF
 documents, or as ODF documents, requires use of the namespace.
 This is in ODF 1.2 Part 1 section 1.5 Namespaces, Table 4, and
 section 2.2.1 OpenDocument Document subsection B4.  This applies
 to MathML 2.0.
  That may also be how import of MathML is expected for StarMath
 too.  I am speculating.


From my experiments I conclude, that the sax parser needs the namespace.





Also, schema validity, not DTD validity, is required.


So I should not care about a DTD and put resolve MathML Names to
unicode point on import on my ToDo list?

orcnote
 I'm not clear what is the issue about MathML
 Names.  If there is a character-set encoding issue, I think that
 can be handled in the ?xml prolog element for free-standing
 MathML XML documents.  What non-Unicode are you encountering?
/orcnote


It is not about encoding, but about an entity reference like int; 
instead of the numeric XML character references #x222B; or the literal 
character ∫.


Since the development of XML seems to go in the direction to waive 
doctypes, I will give this import problem a low priority.


I have looked into the export of Word 2010 and the clipboard content 
generated by the MicrosoftMathRecognizer. They produce MathML with 
namespace but without doctype, so there is no interoperability problem.







THE TEST DOCUMENTS

I notice that the usage on the web pages that demonstrate some of the
tests, the pages are XHTML and the namespace is used on the math
elements.

In the .mml files themselves, there is no XML prolog at all in the
ones I looked at.  There is no DOCTYPE, there is no ?xml and there
are no prefixes.


Yes, that is the problem of the files in testsite.zip. And I'm looking
what to do to make them readable in AOO.

orcnote
 In the versions embedded in the XHTML web pages of the tests,
 themselves, the namespace is supplied.

 The .mml basically carries implied recognition of MATHML among
 parties that recognize the file extension association and do not
 expect XML Names to be supported.

 This requires out-of-band agreement between interchanging parties
 and doesn't work for interchange of arbitrary XML Documents.

 I think the easiest way to use the tests is to go through and
 do a search-replace of math to math xmlns=... so the tests
 work where XML is expected.

 Then figuring out how to assume an implied namespace for math
 elements can be explored.
/orcnote


I make progress in this aspect. I become aware, that Apache OpenOffice 
imports this special XHTML files from the test suite so, that it only 
imports the MathML fragment and ignores the surrounding XHTML parts.


And I've got assistance from the W3 Math Working Group. They told me, 
that the MathML3 examples have got a namespace in the math-element and 
they point me to 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-math/2012Oct/0013.html, which 
contains the link
http://www.w3.org/Math/testsuite/build/mathml3tests.zip to an offline 
version of the MathML3 testsuite.


So now I have got a lot of suitable, valid test files.


[..]
orcnote
Sorry.  I don't know where to look in the code to deal with this.
I think anything produced by AOO should have the namespace handled
correctly to ensure ODF 1.2 conformance.  Being more forgiving on
input where it is clearly MathML would also be nice.

I'm no help about where that might be possible in the code.
/orcnote


I will focus to get a good import of those .mml files and math 
fragments, which have got a namespace. That will keep me busy for a while.


Kind regards
Regina

version C is resolved correctly by Apache OpenOffice, Seamonkey and Word 
2010 but not by LibreOffice; which shows, that the error is likely 
inside LibreOffice.


The mappings are in a file mmlalias.ent but I don't know, how I can 
link to it in the doctype declaration.


I see no problem in using a literal character, because such character 
itself has no binding to a font. When you try version C, you will 
notice, that the integral sign is the same in all three occurrences.

 Ah! Character entities.  Yes that is a problem.
 Hmm, perhaps a standalone internal DTD could be used to define these.
 I am not certain how one gets around DTD validation.

 It would be nice
 to use the character entities rather than the character references.
 I would avoid the literal characters of course, because their being
 understandable depends on font availability.

 Does the MathML DTD provide definitions that could be moved to an
 internal DTD?

 Perhaps a brief experiment to see if that much will be accepted by
 the SAX parser?
 /orcmid

Some brief experiments: When I use version A or B (see below) the 
reference Integral; is not resolved. The browser Seamonkey resolves it 
in both cases, so I assume that the syntax and URI is correct. The 
version C is resolved correctly by Apache OpenOffice, Seamonkey and Word 
2010 but not by LibreOffice; which shows, that the error is likely 
inside LibreOffice.

The mappings are in a file mmlalias.ent but I don't know, how I can 
link to it in the doctype declaration.

I see no problem in using a literal character, because such character 
itself has no binding to a font. When you try version C, you will 
notice, that the integral sign is the same in all three occurrences.
orcmid
   Some observations.

 1.   I don't think what browsers do is reliable because they may 
   have implementation-supported built-in character entities as a 
   feature unrelated to any standard (e.g., for XHTML or whatever).

 2.   I looked through the MathML DTD and it doesn't define any
   character entities at all.  It uses the literals for the Copyright
   symbol and curved quotes in its commentary!

 3.   I think you can include the mmlalias.ent file via
   parameter reference in the internal DTD.  But this may be blocked
   for security reasons in some implementations.  And it has to be
   somewhere in a resource or the install directory where code can
   find it.  Seems too brittle.

 5.   The reason I 
   prefer character entities is that people may not know what the
   intended character is.  Likewise, using the character code 
   directly in the UTF-8 does require that the file be viewed in a
   tool that has a proper character set.  There are great 
   differences in rendering even when the codes are recognized. 

 6.   Just the same, since LibreOffice does not appear to process
   the internal DTD, I think you need to use the character codes
   so long as they are not in any special area of Unicode.  I'm
   disappointed but interoperability seems more important.

Kind regards
Regina

 Nice changes, Andrea!


 We also need a 3-5 lines descriptions to appear at
 https://wiki.apache.org/apachecon/ACNA2015ContentCommittee


 I saw this request but was rather reluctant to expand it until we were sure
 we had enough to do a track.



  I'm not sure we can actually do this part. I think having the topics
 will probably determine the best speakers. Hopefully, these speakers
 will submit proposals.


 We can do it in phases. As usual, we are a widely distributed project and
 indeed it's very hard that all the most competent people for each topic
 are
 physically in the same place. For some topics we will have the best
 people,
 for some other topics we will have competent people who can still
 deliver a
 good presentation, for some we may have nobody. and those should then be
 removed.

  In any case, I would like to send out a message  to our announcements
 and dev lists about the topics and the conference before Jan. 1 if
 there are no objections.


 The dev list is OK for a start (last time I sent a request for talk
 proposals to the announce list, I got several funny but useless
 proposals).
 So if we can start by finalizing the topics, then ask here if we have
 volunteers for each topic, we can start putting some names.


 Maybe with the proposed/recommended topics, useless proposals will be
 minimized? At any rate, the real crux of the matter is what get's submitted
 through the CFP. I still feel the announcements list would be valuable.

 Maybe we can slate the announcement for tomorrow, the 29th, with today for
 final changes to the proposals.

 Shall we add a draft announcement section to the proposals page? My feeling
 is we should emphasize that, even though this is being held in North
 America, some travel assistance IS available. And, I think it might be
 worth our while to try to engage  graduate level students in CSCI or
 Software Engineering to present ideas on improvement to OpenOffice -- the
 futures area?

Draft announcement text added as a comment to:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=50855951

Will be removed when the announcement is actually sent.
Changes very welcome! :)


 TAC is for sure available (I am on the committee), we sponsored 12 people
 at budapest...and I would like to see the same level for austin. In general
 applicant on the same continent tend to get better scores, just as an
 advice.
 
 I am happy to help if somebody have questions about how to fill out our
 forms.

2014-12-28 Thread jan i
Hi.

It seems we have a lot of focus on ACNA which is very very good.but let
not forget that before that we have a little european event called FOSDEM.

We as AOO should not forget that event, since it is likely to attract more
AOO users than ACNA.

rgds
jan I.


Ps. Is it about time to publish how many talks does AOO have at FOSDEM ?

RE: Fwd: Warning from dev@openoffice.apache.org

2014-12-28 Thread Dennis E. Hamilton
The fact of receiving the warning message is a fair indication that the 
problem, whatever it is, has dissipated.  I see these from time to time.  I 
shrug them off as some sort of list system weirdness, although it could also be 
that my affinity account (@acm) is not responding somehow and I am not seeing 
all of the current posts on a list.  Whatever it is, it seems to be a transient 
phenomenon.

As far as I know, there is little to be done on our receiving end, since we 
don't have enough information to know what is happening nor, usually, any means 
to intervene.
