If no one knows the answer to this question, that's OK.
I just wanted to add a descriptive comment to the code.

Dev List,

I was browsing through the code on Fisheye, and I noticed some interesting
design patterns that were in use.
For example, errobject.hxx has a public factory method to make new
ErrObjects, but the constructors are not marked as public.
What was the motivation behind this design decision?

AOO Code Comments

2016-03-06 Thread Lalith Ramesh
Hello,

I just looked at the ErrObject class on FishEye, and I had a few questions
about the coding conventions used in AOO.
Where do we typically put comments in the code?  Do they go in the source
file, the header file, or both?
Also, how often are they used?  Does each method have its own comment block
describing what it does?  Or is there one comment block for the whole class?


Re: Finished Fourth Volunteer Orientation Module

Kay,

My main interests are C++ development and user support.
I added an entry to the Directory of Volunteers on the wiki.  That has my
full list of skills.

I already signed up for the user support forum.
I also had a Bugzilla account using another e-mail address, but it's not
letting me log in for some reason...

Finished Fourth Volunteer Orientation Module

Hello,

I know it's been a while since I started, but I finished the fourth
volunteer orientation module.
BTW, how much is IRC used in this project?

I just finished this module.  I also updated the wiki to include the tasks
I can perform on this project.

I'm done with the first new volunteer orientation module, and now I'm
starting the second one:  How the Apache OpenOffice Project Works.

Hello,

My name is Lalith Ramesh, and I would like to contribute to Apache
OpenOffice.
I started the first volunteer orientation module under a different e-mail
address (openofficeb...@gmail.com).
As requested by the AOO community, I switched to the username
lalithramesh312 to sign up for the Confluence Wiki.
Please activate my account so I can add myself to the Directory of
Volunteers.
