To do for users --------------- (based on my impression of what users actually ask for) - add missing query types (append, update, create table) - make reporting working and easily usable for low and mid complexity tasks (not having tested it for a few months) - at least investigate the effort of having foreign tables linked into .odb besides it's main data source for access to external data without importing and synchronization problems (based on my own needs and wishes) - make import from a calc table (copy and paste) respect the column format for setting the column type (i.e. using "datetime" if data in calc is formatted as "date") - make the form and control properties window more visible (maybe dockable like the "navigator") - make the styles used by the form creation wizard available for later reuse when creating additional controls (maybe it is, I didn't find it - but when switching style in the wizard background colors and the like are different from the default creational params of new controls) - make attaching macros to controls easier and shorter, currently the dialog is three or four layers deep and I've got to buy a new mouse every now and then ;) To do for developers -------------------- - knit together the last loose ends for making application development easily possible (although I think that's mostly done) To do for the base dev team at Sun ---------------------------------- - throw a big party with free beer for the dev team and their relatives and friends at least after each release, better would be once a month Cheers, Marc --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
