OK - going to follow up on my own email - "Do I have no sense of shame? "
I think the first application is starring us right in the face - it is the reference I made in the other thread http://www.e-easel.org/ Julianna is a real OO.org advocate. The database she is distributing there is one built originally to run her small business. Which it has been for over a year now. The application is a pure OOo Base implementation and is in the public domain, she wold be keen on our putting it to whatever use we would like. As she was when I first proposed this a year ago on the wiki. So - it appears to me that there are a whole bunch of win-win possibilities here. First - If we used the current v1.1 of the database as a starting point and then added in the following: Use of SRB for new reports Change that installation process from manual to either: A ) An install routine supplied in a script B) Create an oxt wrapper to distribute the database application - This allows us to install the libraries, menus and toolbars, etc and create / register the actual database. ( I have used this B approach a few times now, and it works well - especially for site wide installations which is the really nice part if the Base forms, scripts are hitting a server database ) This was an option not available when the application was first written. Add the 'finishing' to the UI and work flow that our experience makes possible. A ) Maybe a menu system B) Some form navigation functions C) ....? She gets a nice update the application. We get the chance to construct a document on the wiki that goes over how the application is designed, how it hangs together etc. She gets a little more visibility for the Artists support organization she is trying to build. We get to point to the source forge repository for letting OOo new users wanting a copy. We also get that first business example - without having to start from ground zero. Anyone interested?
