Tab browsing for OpenOffice.org

If you can load all the documents ( text, presentation, spreadsheet) in a single OpenOffice.org window, and use tabs to navigate between them, would it be good for you?

I will spend a week to "hack" on this problem and try to see whether I can make a prototype for it.

I think it is not a easy stuff, so your suggestion is very appreciated.

Debugging OO

1. build debug=true dbglevel=2 for max output and dbglevel=1 or 0 for less output.
2.

gdb ./soffice.bin
(gdb) handle SIGPWR nostop noprint
(gdb) handle SIGXCPU nostop noprint
(gdb) handle SIG33 nostop noprint
(gdb) run -norestore -writer

3. (gdb) print dbg_dump(sWhatEver)

4. rebuild the module
gdb ./soffice.bin
 ...
 bt
#0  0x40b4e0a1 in kill () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1  0x409acfe6 in raise () from /lib/libpthread.so.0
#2  0x447bcdbd in SfxMedium::DownLoad(Link const&) () from ./libsfx641li.so
#3  0x447be151 in SfxMedium::SfxMedium(String const&, unsigned short, unsigned char, SfxFilter const*, SfxItemSet*) ()
from ./libsfx641li.so
#4  0x448339d3 in getCppuType(com::sun::star::uno::Reference const*) () from ./libsfx641li.so
...
 quit
 cd base/OOO_STABLE_1/sfx2
 ootouch SfxMedium
 build debug=true

5. or

dmake killobj
dmake

6.Non-Product Builds are created using a special configure switch, namely --enable-dbgutil.

For available tools in non-product builds, have a look at the various DBG_foo macros in tools/debug.hxx

To actually fire up the debug settings dialog, press -D.

To use (or do QA for) the additional debug features: just run OO.o, and
when it's in full-flow, press --
'D' in that order

做事首先要做人

随着阅览的增长，越来越感觉到“做事首先要做人”的正确性。
如果一个人没有自己的目标，没有经定的意志，没有持之以恒的行动，你说要做的事，99％是不会成功的。
目标由兴趣确定；
意志和坚持靠后天培养。

不断地跟自己作斗争，总会有成功的一天，而且这一天不会遥远。我想信。

new ideas on OO from Hacking Week

Hacking week from opensuse is comming soon. from now on, there are two ideas about OOo.
* collaborative editing for OO
allow multipule people to work together on the same document in OO at the same time in the same visual space.
the OO internals need to be examined because it does not use a "piece table" implementation underneath the word processor which would make this easier.

* more intuitive UI for OO
simplify and trimming down the OO UI so that an user can more easily grasp it. sources of inspiration maybe include google docs, the ribbon interface in MS Office 2007 and more.

There is my idea about OO from Soc proposal: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2007/proposals#OpenOffice.org_Based_Workflow_Framework

OpenOffice.org Based Workflow Framework

The one feature that is now begging for attention from OpneOffice.org is the colloboration and workflow. The workflow system should leverage on the Xforms support in OpenOffice.org and combine it with other Open Source Products like Shark ( http://www.enhydra.org/workflow/shark/index.html ) and JaWe ( http://www.enhydra.org/workflow/jawe/index.html ) to create an integrated Xforms based workflow system. The product should have a centralized server component and a client component. The server component interfaces with Process repositories and Process Instance repositories and has Java based Administration and Definition tools. The client component could be a toolbar which sits as an addon into the office suite. The goal of this project is to provide document workflow from within OpenOffice.org.
