<p>Kkoll: </p> <hr /> <div>The goal of this page is to list free and commercial solutions that might be important and helpful to companies, organizations, and individuals who want to adopt [[OpenOffice.org]]. <br /> <br /> For each category first those solutions are listed that focus on &quot;vanilla&quot; OpenOffice.org (the OpenOffice.org that can be downloaded from OpenOffice.org) instead of OpenOffice.org-based products like the [[Oracle Open Office]] software or Novell&#039;s edition of OpenOffice.org. For companion products like the email and calendar servers the actual office suite flavor makes no difference, and thus does not affect the order in this list. The next order criteria is price. Solutions free of cost are listed first whereas commercial solutions are listed last. Within the commercial solutions those are listed first where it is known that the vendors/organizations contribute or have contributed to OpenOffice.org.<br /> <br /> DISCLAIMER: Since the status of and the information about solutions can change, please check always the solution&#039;s website for the latest information.<br /> <br /> ==CD&#039;s &amp; Documentation==<br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot;<br /> !

<p>Kkoll: </p> <hr /> <div>The goal of this page is to list free and commercial solutions that might be important and helpful to companies, organizations, and individuals who want to adopt [[OpenOffice.org]]. <br /> <br /> For each category first those solutions are listed that focus on &quot;vanilla&quot; OpenOffice.org (the OpenOffice.org that can be downloaded from OpenOffice.org) instead of OpenOffice.org-based products like the [[Oracle Open Office]] software or Novell&#039;s edition of OpenOffice.org. For companion products like the email and calendar servers the actual office suite flavor makes no difference, and thus does not affect the order in this list. The next order criteria is price. Solutions free of cost are listed first whereas commercial solutions are listed last. Within the commercial solutions those are listed first where it is known that the vendors/organizations contribute or have contributed to OpenOffice.org.<br /> <br /> DISCLAIMER: Since the status of and the information about solutions can change, please check always the solution&#039;s website for the latest information.<br /> <br /> ==CD&#039;s &amp; Documentation==<br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot;<br /> !

<p>Kkoll: </p> <hr /> <div>The goal of this page is to list free and commercial solutions that might be important and helpful to companies, organizations, and individuals who want to adopt [[OpenOffice.org]]. <br /> <br /> For each category first those solutions are listed that focus on &quot;vanilla&quot; OpenOffice.org (the OpenOffice.org that can be downloaded from OpenOffice.org) instead of OpenOffice.org-based products like the [[Oracle Open Office]] software or Novell&#039;s edition of OpenOffice.org. For companion products like the email and calendar servers the actual office suite flavor makes no difference, and thus does not affect the order in this list. The next order criteria is price. Solutions free of cost are listed first whereas commercial solutions are listed last. Within the commercial solutions those are listed first where it is known that the vendors/organizations contribute or have contributed to OpenOffice.org.<br /> <br /> DISCLAIMER: Since the status of and the information about solutions can change, please check always the solution&#039;s website for the latest information.<br /> <br /> ==CD&#039;s &amp; Documentation==<br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot;<br /> !

<p>Kkoll: </p> <hr /> <div>The goal of this page is to list free and commercial solutions that might be important and helpful to companies, organizations, and individuals who want to adopt [[OpenOffice.org]]. <br /> <br /> For each category first those solutions are listed that focus on &quot;vanilla&quot; OpenOffice.org (the OpenOffice.org that can be downloaded from OpenOffice.org) instead of OpenOffice.org-based products like the [[StarOffice]] software or Novell&#039;s edition of OpenOffice.org. For companion products like the email and calendar servers the actual office suite flavor makes no difference, and thus does not affect the order in this list. The next order criteria is price. Solutions free of cost are listed first whereas commercial solutions are listed last. Within the commercial solutions those are listed first where it is known that the vendors/organizations contribute or have contributed to OpenOffice.org.<br /> <br /> DISCLAIMER: Since the status of and the information about solutions can change, please check always the solution&#039;s website for the latest information.<br /> <br /> ==CD&#039;s &amp; Documentation==<br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot;<br /> !

<p>Kkoll: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Marketing}}<br /> <br /> The goal of this page is to collect and present all kinds of data in an organized way that allows estimating the OpenOffice.org/[[StarOffice]] market share. The page tries to analyze the market share of all OpenOffice.org-based products including [[StarOffice]] and Novell&#039;s Edition of OpenOffice.org. Therefore, does not try to distinguish between different OpenOffice.org flavors and combines numbers where appropriate (e.g. survey numbers).<br /> <br /> Another wiki resource that can be used for improving and extending this page is the list of [[Major OpenOffice.org Deployments]].<br /> <br /> The Project&#039;s target market share can be found in the [[Strategic Marketing Plan#Usage_Goals|Strategic Marketing Plan Usage Goals]].<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==Known Deployment Numbers==<br /> This table is sorted by country, except global deployments listed first.<br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot;<br /> !

<p>Kkoll: /* Surveys */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Marketing}}<br /> <br /> The goal of this page is to collect and present all kinds of data in an organized way that allows estimating the OpenOffice.org/[[StarOffice]] market share. The page tries to analyze the market share of all OpenOffice.org-based products including [[StarOffice]] and Novell&#039;s Edition of OpenOffice.org. Therefore, does not try to distinguish between different OpenOffice.org flavors and combines numbers where appropriate (e.g. survey numbers).<br /> <br /> Another wiki resource that can be used for improving and extending this page is the list of [[Major OpenOffice.org Deployments]].<br /> <br /> The Project&#039;s target market share can be found in the [[Strategic Marketing Plan#Usage_Goals|Strategic Marketing Plan Usage Goals]].<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==Known Deployment Numbers==<br /> This table is sorted by country, except global deployments listed first.<br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot;<br /> !

<p>Kkoll: /* Enterprise Management Tools */</p> <hr /> <div>The goal of this page is to list free and commercial solutions that might be important and helpful to companies, organizations, and individuals who want to adopt [[OpenOffice.org]]. <br /> <br /> For each category first those solutions are listed that focus on &quot;vanilla&quot; OpenOffice.org (the OpenOffice.org that can be downloaded from OpenOffice.org) instead of OpenOffice.org-based products like the [[StarOffice]] software or Novell&#039;s edition of OpenOffice.org. For companion products like the email and calendar servers the actual office suite flavor makes no difference, and thus does not affect the order in this list. The next order criteria is price. Solutions free of cost are listed first whereas commercial solutions are listed last. Within the commercial solutions those are listed first where it is known that the vendors/organizations contribute or have contributed to OpenOffice.org.<br /> <br /> DISCLAIMER: Since the status of and the information about solutions can change, please check always the solution&#039;s website for the latest information.<br /> <br /> ==CD&#039;s &amp; Documentation==<br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot;<br /> !

<p>Kkoll: </p> <hr /> <div>The goal of this page is to list free and commercial solutions that might be important and helpful to companies, organizations, and individuals who want to adopt [[OpenOffice.org]]. <br /> <br /> For each category first those solutions are listed that focus on &quot;vanilla&quot; OpenOffice.org (the OpenOffice.org that can be downloaded from OpenOffice.org) instead of OpenOffice.org-based products like the [[StarOffice]] software or Novell&#039;s edition of OpenOffice.org. For companion products like the email and calendar servers the actual office suite flavor makes no difference, and thus does not affect the order in this list. The next order criteria is price. Solutions free of cost are listed first whereas commercial solutions are listed last. Within the commercial solutions those are listed first where it is known that the vendors/organizations contribute or have contributed to OpenOffice.org.<br /> <br /> DISCLAIMER: Since the status of and the information about solutions can change, please check always the solution&#039;s website for the latest information.<br /> <br /> ==CD&#039;s &amp; Documentation==<br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot;<br /> !

<p>Kkoll: /* Template and Gallery related touch Points */</p> <hr /> <div>A brief memorandum about touch points and associated requirements<br /> <br /> Lutz Hoeger, Nov 09, 2007, last update: Jan 22, 2008<br /> <br /> <br /> == Touch Points: Links From Product to Web ==<br /> For this memo, &quot;touch point&quot; stands for pointers from the downloadable OpenOffice.org product to web sites that are assembled under the openoffice.org domain. These pointers may be represented in different ways:<br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#000000; color:white&quot;<br /> | &#039;&#039;&#039;Pointer Type&#039;&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;&#039;Explanation&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> |-<br /> | Direct hyperlinks || &quot;Clickable&quot; links that usually point to a web site<br /> |-<br /> | Indirect links || User actions that end up on a web site, e.g. &quot;check for updates&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | References || Plain text references to web sites, e.g. in readme files<br /> |-<br /> | Brand elements || Logo artwork or the name &quot;OpenOffice.org&quot;, not acting as link or reference. Note: This pointer type is not part of this memo.<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> == Why Touch Points? ==<br /> <br /> * The OOo product is very successful. As of today, we speak about one million downloads per week.<br /> * But users of the product do not necessarily visit the OOo web site(s) frequently (cf. IDC and OpenOffice.org Survey, Nov. 2006) - if they know it at all.<br /> * So it seems desirable to build on top of the OOo product success and guide traffic to the OOo web site. Various groups would benefit from this in many ways:<br /> ** OOo Users. They learn better how to do more with their product (updates, extensions, documentation, support, ...), and they easier find information about what is going on in the OOo world (conferences, contests, ...).<br /> ** The OOo community. As the traffic on OOo web sites increases, more people have the chance to join the community and participate in the OOo project.<br /> ** OOo solution providers. They reach a broader audience. This makes OOo web site(s) a more compelling platform for solutions based on OOo.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Links From Where...? ==<br /> Touch points can be implemented in different parts of the OOo product. <br /> * Direct hyperlinks and indirect links from within the application&#039;s graphical user interface (GUI). Examples for such links include already existing links, like the menu command &quot;Help - Check for Updates...&quot; or the hyperlink &quot;Get more extensions here...&quot; in the Extension Manager dialog. But there are also many places for new links of this type, e.g. &quot;Get more templates...&quot; in the template manager or &quot;Find more Clipart...&quot; in the Gallery.<br /> * The OpenOffice.org Help also is an excellent place for touch points. Examples for hyperlinks from the OOo Help are already included: Under &quot;Getting Support&quot; there is a chapter with links to the OOo main web site. The application documentation is a good place for more links, e.g. links from specific subjects to more in-depth how-to documentation on the web, or links to a community maintained help wiki.<br /> * There is a related part of the OOo product, which may be a less obvious place for touch points: the additional product documentation, like readme file, release notes and license file. In the simplest case, these documents are display in plain text, so they provide an opportunity for reference type touch points (hyperlinks usually do not work in plain text mode).<br /> * Further places for touch points depend on the underlying operating and desktop system, and it&#039;s software management facilities. E.g., Windows provides means to link to the vendor, to the support site, etc.<br /> <br /> <br /> == ...To Where? ==<br /> The fundamental principles of OpenOffice.org are centered around free use, community participation, and absence of single-vendor lock-in. For a broad acceptance of touch points it is essential to respect the principles of OOo, and provide mutual benefit to all involved parties (users, community, solution providers).<br /> <br /> This is less of a constraint than an opportunity: The wider the acceptance of (certain) touch points, the higher the likeliness that these touch points will not be removed in any custom OOo release.<br /> <br /> Targets like the extension repository, the OOo main web site, etc. are vendor neutral, and allow for participation for all OOo solution providers - and for an open competition amongst them. Therefor these targets should be preferred over vendor specific targets.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Requirements ==<br /> <br /> === Customer Requirements ===<br /> * Do not connect to the Internet without the user&#039;s or administrator&#039;s permission. <br /> * Make it possible to disable all touch points - ideally with minimal effort (a.k.a. master switch)<br /> * Optionally, make it possible to redirect touch points, e.g. to an Intranet target (e.g. for local deployment of updates, extensions, ...).<br /> <br /> === Usability Requirements ===<br /> * The product must remain functional in it&#039;s core functionality even when there is no network (Internet) connection.<br /> * Especially for indirect links, clearly state the touch point&#039;s target (e.g. in a pop-up).<br /> * When touch points do not work, e.g. because the link target does not exist, provide clear and unambiguous error messages, ideally with instructions on how to report the problem.<br /> * Use screen real estate sparingly. Do not display multiple touch points in the same place, when screen real estate is limited. E.g. do not display &quot;Get Templates&quot;, &quot;Get Samples&quot;, &quot;Get Wizards&quot; and &quot;Get XYZ&quot; in the file menu.<br /> * For extensions, do not introduce touch points to a single extension only (exception: see next chapter). Instead, use touch points to a group of similar extensions (e.g. &quot;Get more templates&quot; pointing to all templates on the extension repository).<br /> * Ideally, only show touch points like &quot;Get more...&quot; when there actually is more on the web than what is already installed on the user&#039;s system.<br /> <br /> === Technical Requirements ===<br /> * Make touch points &quot;end-of-life-able&quot;. When a link target does not exist any longer, it should be easy to remove the touch point from the product, without major technical changes.<br /> <br /> == No rule without an exception ==<br /> Though generally there is the requirement, to never introduce touch point that point to one specific extension only, there will be situations where this is necessary.<br /> <br /> An example for this could be an ODF-file, that contains data which requires a certain extension to view or modify it. The touch point would be e.g. a message box that pops up when the user tries to access or edit the file or the respective content. <br /> <br /> == Examples for new Touch Points ==<br /> The following list includes some examples for new touch points. It is neither complete, nor in any specif order. It should just help to get a better idea about touch points, and hopefully it also triggers some creative thinking about the subject.<br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#000000;

<p>Kkoll: /* List potential touch Points for future releases */</p> <hr /> <div>A brief memorandum about touch points and associated requirements<br /> <br /> Lutz Hoeger, Nov 09, 2007, last update: Jan 22, 2008<br /> <br /> <br /> == Touch Points: Links From Product to Web ==<br /> For this memo, &quot;touch point&quot; stands for pointers from the downloadable OpenOffice.org product to web sites that are assembled under the openoffice.org domain. These pointers may be represented in different ways:<br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#000000; color:white&quot;<br /> | &#039;&#039;&#039;Pointer Type&#039;&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;&#039;Explanation&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> |-<br /> | Direct hyperlinks || &quot;Clickable&quot; links that usually point to a web site<br /> |-<br /> | Indirect links || User actions that end up on a web site, e.g. &quot;check for updates&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | References || Plain text references to web sites, e.g. in readme files<br /> |-<br /> | Brand elements || Logo artwork or the name &quot;OpenOffice.org&quot;, not acting as link or reference. Note: This pointer type is not part of this memo.<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> == Why Touch Points? ==<br /> <br /> * The OOo product is very successful. As of today, we speak about one million downloads per week.<br /> * But users of the product do not necessarily visit the OOo web site(s) frequently (cf. IDC and OpenOffice.org Survey, Nov. 2006) - if they know it at all.<br /> * So it seems desirable to build on top of the OOo product success and guide traffic to the OOo web site. Various groups would benefit from this in many ways:<br /> ** OOo Users. They learn better how to do more with their product (updates, extensions, documentation, support, ...), and they easier find information about what is going on in the OOo world (conferences, contests, ...).<br /> ** The OOo community. As the traffic on OOo web sites increases, more people have the chance to join the community and participate in the OOo project.<br /> ** OOo solution providers. They reach a broader audience. This makes OOo web site(s) a more compelling platform for solutions based on OOo.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Links From Where...? ==<br /> Touch points can be implemented in different parts of the OOo product. <br /> * Direct hyperlinks and indirect links from within the application&#039;s graphical user interface (GUI). Examples for such links include already existing links, like the menu command &quot;Help - Check for Updates...&quot; or the hyperlink &quot;Get more extensions here...&quot; in the Extension Manager dialog. But there are also many places for new links of this type, e.g. &quot;Get more templates...&quot; in the template manager or &quot;Find more Clipart...&quot; in the Gallery.<br /> * The OpenOffice.org Help also is an excellent place for touch points. Examples for hyperlinks from the OOo Help are already included: Under &quot;Getting Support&quot; there is a chapter with links to the OOo main web site. The application documentation is a good place for more links, e.g. links from specific subjects to more in-depth how-to documentation on the web, or links to a community maintained help wiki.<br /> * There is a related part of the OOo product, which may be a less obvious place for touch points: the additional product documentation, like readme file, release notes and license file. In the simplest case, these documents are display in plain text, so they provide an opportunity for reference type touch points (hyperlinks usually do not work in plain text mode).<br /> * Further places for touch points depend on the underlying operating and desktop system, and it&#039;s software management facilities. E.g., Windows provides means to link to the vendor, to the support site, etc.<br /> <br /> <br /> == ...To Where? ==<br /> The fundamental principles of OpenOffice.org are centered around free use, community participation, and absence of single-vendor lock-in. For a broad acceptance of touch points it is essential to respect the principles of OOo, and provide mutual benefit to all involved parties (users, community, solution providers).<br /> <br /> This is less of a constraint than an opportunity: The wider the acceptance of (certain) touch points, the higher the likeliness that these touch points will not be removed in any custom OOo release.<br /> <br /> Targets like the extension repository, the OOo main web site, etc. are vendor neutral, and allow for participation for all OOo solution providers - and for an open competition amongst them. Therefor these targets should be preferred over vendor specific targets.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Requirements ==<br /> <br /> === Customer Requirements ===<br /> * Do not connect to the Internet without the user&#039;s or administrator&#039;s permission. <br /> * Make it possible to disable all touch points - ideally with minimal effort (a.k.a. master switch)<br /> * Optionally, make it possible to redirect touch points, e.g. to an Intranet target (e.g. for local deployment of updates, extensions, ...).<br /> <br /> === Usability Requirements ===<br /> * The product must remain functional in it&#039;s core functionality even when there is no network (Internet) connection.<br /> * Especially for indirect links, clearly state the touch point&#039;s target (e.g. in a pop-up).<br /> * When touch points do not work, e.g. because the link target does not exist, provide clear and unambiguous error messages, ideally with instructions on how to report the problem.<br /> * Use screen real estate sparingly. Do not display multiple touch points in the same place, when screen real estate is limited. E.g. do not display &quot;Get Templates&quot;, &quot;Get Samples&quot;, &quot;Get Wizards&quot; and &quot;Get XYZ&quot; in the file menu.<br /> * For extensions, do not introduce touch points to a single extension only (exception: see next chapter). Instead, use touch points to a group of similar extensions (e.g. &quot;Get more templates&quot; pointing to all templates on the extension repository).<br /> * Ideally, only show touch points like &quot;Get more...&quot; when there actually is more on the web than what is already installed on the user&#039;s system.<br /> <br /> === Technical Requirements ===<br /> * Make touch points &quot;end-of-life-able&quot;. When a link target does not exist any longer, it should be easy to remove the touch point from the product, without major technical changes.<br /> <br /> == No rule without an exception ==<br /> Though generally there is the requirement, to never introduce touch point that point to one specific extension only, there will be situations where this is necessary.<br /> <br /> An example for this could be an ODF-file, that contains data which requires a certain extension to view or modify it. The touch point would be e.g. a message box that pops up when the user tries to access or edit the file or the respective content. <br /> <br /> == Examples for new Touch Points ==<br /> The following list includes some examples for new touch points. It is neither complete, nor in any specif order. It should just help to get a better idea about touch points, and hopefully it also triggers some creative thinking about the subject.<br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#000000;

<p>Kkoll: /* Touch Points Defined by Marketing */</p> <hr /> <div>A brief memorandum about touch points and associated requirements<br /> <br /> Lutz Hoeger, Nov 09, 2007, last update: Jan 22, 2008<br /> <br /> <br /> == Touch Points: Links From Product to Web ==<br /> For this memo, &quot;touch point&quot; stands for pointers from the downloadable OpenOffice.org product to web sites that are assembled under the openoffice.org domain. These pointers may be represented in different ways:<br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#000000; color:white&quot;<br /> | &#039;&#039;&#039;Pointer Type&#039;&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;&#039;Explanation&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> |-<br /> | Direct hyperlinks || &quot;Clickable&quot; links that usually point to a web site<br /> |-<br /> | Indirect links || User actions that end up on a web site, e.g. &quot;check for updates&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | References || Plain text references to web sites, e.g. in readme files<br /> |-<br /> | Brand elements || Logo artwork or the name &quot;OpenOffice.org&quot;, not acting as link or reference. Note: This pointer type is not part of this memo.<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> == Why Touch Points? ==<br /> <br /> * The OOo product is very successful. As of today, we speak about one million downloads per week.<br /> * But users of the product do not necessarily visit the OOo web site(s) frequently (cf. IDC and OpenOffice.org Survey, Nov. 2006) - if they know it at all.<br /> * So it seems desirable to build on top of the OOo product success and guide traffic to the OOo web site. Various groups would benefit from this in many ways:<br /> ** OOo Users. They learn better how to do more with their product (updates, extensions, documentation, support, ...), and they easier find information about what is going on in the OOo world (conferences, contests, ...).<br /> ** The OOo community. As the traffic on OOo web sites increases, more people have the chance to join the community and participate in the OOo project.<br /> ** OOo solution providers. They reach a broader audience. This makes OOo web site(s) a more compelling platform for solutions based on OOo.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Links From Where...? ==<br /> Touch points can be implemented in different parts of the OOo product. <br /> * Direct hyperlinks and indirect links from within the application&#039;s graphical user interface (GUI). Examples for such links include already existing links, like the menu command &quot;Help - Check for Updates...&quot; or the hyperlink &quot;Get more extensions here...&quot; in the Extension Manager dialog. But there are also many places for new links of this type, e.g. &quot;Get more templates...&quot; in the template manager or &quot;Find more Clipart...&quot; in the Gallery.<br /> * The OpenOffice.org Help also is an excellent place for touch points. Examples for hyperlinks from the OOo Help are already included: Under &quot;Getting Support&quot; there is a chapter with links to the OOo main web site. The application documentation is a good place for more links, e.g. links from specific subjects to more in-depth how-to documentation on the web, or links to a community maintained help wiki.<br /> * There is a related part of the OOo product, which may be a less obvious place for touch points: the additional product documentation, like readme file, release notes and license file. In the simplest case, these documents are display in plain text, so they provide an opportunity for reference type touch points (hyperlinks usually do not work in plain text mode).<br /> * Further places for touch points depend on the underlying operating and desktop system, and it&#039;s software management facilities. E.g., Windows provides means to link to the vendor, to the support site, etc.<br /> <br /> <br /> == ...To Where? ==<br /> The fundamental principles of OpenOffice.org are centered around free use, community participation, and absence of single-vendor lock-in. For a broad acceptance of touch points it is essential to respect the principles of OOo, and provide mutual benefit to all involved parties (users, community, solution providers).<br /> <br /> This is less of a constraint than an opportunity: The wider the acceptance of (certain) touch points, the higher the likeliness that these touch points will not be removed in any custom OOo release.<br /> <br /> Targets like the extension repository, the OOo main web site, etc. are vendor neutral, and allow for participation for all OOo solution providers - and for an open competition amongst them. Therefor these targets should be preferred over vendor specific targets.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Requirements ==<br /> <br /> === Customer Requirements ===<br /> * Do not connect to the Internet without the user&#039;s or administrator&#039;s permission. <br /> * Make it possible to disable all touch points - ideally with minimal effort (a.k.a. master switch)<br /> * Optionally, make it possible to redirect touch points, e.g. to an Intranet target (e.g. for local deployment of updates, extensions, ...).<br /> <br /> === Usability Requirements ===<br /> * The product must remain functional in it&#039;s core functionality even when there is no network (Internet) connection.<br /> * Especially for indirect links, clearly state the touch point&#039;s target (e.g. in a pop-up).<br /> * When touch points do not work, e.g. because the link target does not exist, provide clear and unambiguous error messages, ideally with instructions on how to report the problem.<br /> * Use screen real estate sparingly. Do not display multiple touch points in the same place, when screen real estate is limited. E.g. do not display &quot;Get Templates&quot;, &quot;Get Samples&quot;, &quot;Get Wizards&quot; and &quot;Get XYZ&quot; in the file menu.<br /> * For extensions, do not introduce touch points to a single extension only (exception: see next chapter). Instead, use touch points to a group of similar extensions (e.g. &quot;Get more templates&quot; pointing to all templates on the extension repository).<br /> * Ideally, only show touch points like &quot;Get more...&quot; when there actually is more on the web than what is already installed on the user&#039;s system.<br /> <br /> === Technical Requirements ===<br /> * Make touch points &quot;end-of-life-able&quot;. When a link target does not exist any longer, it should be easy to remove the touch point from the product, without major technical changes.<br /> <br /> == No rule without an exception ==<br /> Though generally there is the requirement, to never introduce touch point that point to one specific extension only, there will be situations where this is necessary.<br /> <br /> An example for this could be an ODF-file, that contains data which requires a certain extension to view or modify it. The touch point would be e.g. a message box that pops up when the user tries to access or edit the file or the respective content. <br /> <br /> == Examples for new Touch Points ==<br /> The following list includes some examples for new touch points. It is neither complete, nor in any specif order. It should just help to get a better idea about touch points, and hopefully it also triggers some creative thinking about the subject.<br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#000000;

<p>Kkoll: /* Touch Points Defined by Marketing */</p> <hr /> <div>A brief memorandum about touch points and associated requirements<br /> <br /> Lutz Hoeger, Nov 09, 2007, last update: Jan 22, 2008<br /> <br /> <br /> == Touch Points: Links From Product to Web ==<br /> For this memo, &quot;touch point&quot; stands for pointers from the downloadable OpenOffice.org product to web sites that are assembled under the openoffice.org domain. These pointers may be represented in different ways:<br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#000000; color:white&quot;<br /> | &#039;&#039;&#039;Pointer Type&#039;&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;&#039;Explanation&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> |-<br /> | Direct hyperlinks || &quot;Clickable&quot; links that usually point to a web site<br /> |-<br /> | Indirect links || User actions that end up on a web site, e.g. &quot;check for updates&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | References || Plain text references to web sites, e.g. in readme files<br /> |-<br /> | Brand elements || Logo artwork or the name &quot;OpenOffice.org&quot;, not acting as link or reference. Note: This pointer type is not part of this memo.<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> == Why Touch Points? ==<br /> <br /> * The OOo product is very successful. As of today, we speak about one million downloads per week.<br /> * But users of the product do not necessarily visit the OOo web site(s) frequently (cf. IDC and OpenOffice.org Survey, Nov. 2006) - if they know it at all.<br /> * So it seems desirable to build on top of the OOo product success and guide traffic to the OOo web site. Various groups would benefit from this in many ways:<br /> ** OOo Users. They learn better how to do more with their product (updates, extensions, documentation, support, ...), and they easier find information about what is going on in the OOo world (conferences, contests, ...).<br /> ** The OOo community. As the traffic on OOo web sites increases, more people have the chance to join the community and participate in the OOo project.<br /> ** OOo solution providers. They reach a broader audience. This makes OOo web site(s) a more compelling platform for solutions based on OOo.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Links From Where...? ==<br /> Touch points can be implemented in different parts of the OOo product. <br /> * Direct hyperlinks and indirect links from within the application&#039;s graphical user interface (GUI). Examples for such links include already existing links, like the menu command &quot;Help - Check for Updates...&quot; or the hyperlink &quot;Get more extensions here...&quot; in the Extension Manager dialog. But there are also many places for new links of this type, e.g. &quot;Get more templates...&quot; in the template manager or &quot;Find more Clipart...&quot; in the Gallery.<br /> * The OpenOffice.org Help also is an excellent place for touch points. Examples for hyperlinks from the OOo Help are already included: Under &quot;Getting Support&quot; there is a chapter with links to the OOo main web site. The application documentation is a good place for more links, e.g. links from specific subjects to more in-depth how-to documentation on the web, or links to a community maintained help wiki.<br /> * There is a related part of the OOo product, which may be a less obvious place for touch points: the additional product documentation, like readme file, release notes and license file. In the simplest case, these documents are display in plain text, so they provide an opportunity for reference type touch points (hyperlinks usually do not work in plain text mode).<br /> * Further places for touch points depend on the underlying operating and desktop system, and it&#039;s software management facilities. E.g., Windows provides means to link to the vendor, to the support site, etc.<br /> <br /> <br /> == ...To Where? ==<br /> The fundamental principles of OpenOffice.org are centered around free use, community participation, and absence of single-vendor lock-in. For a broad acceptance of touch points it is essential to respect the principles of OOo, and provide mutual benefit to all involved parties (users, community, solution providers).<br /> <br /> This is less of a constraint than an opportunity: The wider the acceptance of (certain) touch points, the higher the likeliness that these touch points will not be removed in any custom OOo release.<br /> <br /> Targets like the extension repository, the OOo main web site, etc. are vendor neutral, and allow for participation for all OOo solution providers - and for an open competition amongst them. Therefor these targets should be preferred over vendor specific targets.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Requirements ==<br /> <br /> === Customer Requirements ===<br /> * Do not connect to the Internet without the user&#039;s or administrator&#039;s permission. <br /> * Make it possible to disable all touch points - ideally with minimal effort (a.k.a. master switch)<br /> * Optionally, make it possible to redirect touch points, e.g. to an Intranet target (e.g. for local deployment of updates, extensions, ...).<br /> <br /> === Usability Requirements ===<br /> * The product must remain functional in it&#039;s core functionality even when there is no network (Internet) connection.<br /> * Especially for indirect links, clearly state the touch point&#039;s target (e.g. in a pop-up).<br /> * When touch points do not work, e.g. because the link target does not exist, provide clear and unambiguous error messages, ideally with instructions on how to report the problem.<br /> * Use screen real estate sparingly. Do not display multiple touch points in the same place, when screen real estate is limited. E.g. do not display &quot;Get Templates&quot;, &quot;Get Samples&quot;, &quot;Get Wizards&quot; and &quot;Get XYZ&quot; in the file menu.<br /> * For extensions, do not introduce touch points to a single extension only (exception: see next chapter). Instead, use touch points to a group of similar extensions (e.g. &quot;Get more templates&quot; pointing to all templates on the extension repository).<br /> * Ideally, only show touch points like &quot;Get more...&quot; when there actually is more on the web than what is already installed on the user&#039;s system.<br /> <br /> === Technical Requirements ===<br /> * Make touch points &quot;end-of-life-able&quot;. When a link target does not exist any longer, it should be easy to remove the touch point from the product, without major technical changes.<br /> <br /> == No rule without an exception ==<br /> Though generally there is the requirement, to never introduce touch point that point to one specific extension only, there will be situations where this is necessary.<br /> <br /> An example for this could be an ODF-file, that contains data which requires a certain extension to view or modify it. The touch point would be e.g. a message box that pops up when the user tries to access or edit the file or the respective content. <br /> <br /> == Examples for new Touch Points ==<br /> The following list includes some examples for new touch points. It is neither complete, nor in any specif order. It should just help to get a better idea about touch points, and hopefully it also triggers some creative thinking about the subject.<br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#000000;

They learn better how to do more with their product (updates, extensions, documentation, support, ...), and they easier find information about what is going on in the OOo world (conferences, contests, ...).<br /> ** The OOo community. As the traffic on OOo web sites increases, more people have the chance to join the community and participate in the OOo project.<br /> ** OOo solution providers. They reach a broader audience. This makes OOo web site(s) a more compelling platform for solutions based on OOo.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Links From Where...? ==<br /> Touch points can be implemented in different parts of the OOo product. <br /> * Direct hyperlinks and indirect links from within the application&#039;s graphical user interface (GUI). Examples for such links include already existing links, like the menu command &quot;Help - Check for Updates...&quot; or the hyperlink &quot;Get more extensions here...&quot; in the Extension Manager dialog. But there are also many places for new links of this type, e.g. &quot;Get more templates...&quot; in the template manager or &quot;Find more Clipart...&quot; in the Gallery.<br /> * The OpenOffice.org Help also is an excellent place for touch points. Examples for hyperlinks from the OOo Help are already included: Under &quot;Getting Support&quot; there is a chapter with links to the OOo main web site. The application documentation is a good place for more links, e.g. links from specific subjects to more in-depth how-to documentation on the web, or links to a community maintained help wiki.<br /> * There is a related part of the OOo product, which may be a less obvious place for touch points: the additional product documentation, like readme file, release notes and license file. In the simplest case, these documents are display in plain text, so they provide an opportunity for reference type touch points (hyperlinks usually do not work in plain text mode).<br /> * Further places for touch points depend on the underlying operating and desktop system, and it&#039;s software management facilities. E.g., Windows provides means to link to the vendor, to the support site, etc.<br /> <br /> <br /> == ...To Where? ==<br /> The fundamental principles of OpenOffice.org are centered around free use, community participation, and absence of single-vendor lock-in. For a broad acceptance of touch points it is essential to respect the principles of OOo, and provide mutual benefit to all involved parties (users, community, solution providers).<br /> <br /> This is less of a constraint than an opportunity: The wider the acceptance of (certain) touch points, the higher the likeliness that these touch points will not be removed in any custom OOo release.<br /> <br /> Targets like the extension repository, the OOo main web site, etc. are vendor neutral, and allow for participation for all OOo solution providers - and for an open competition amongst them. Therefor these targets should be preferred over vendor specific targets.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Requirements ==<br /> <br /> === Customer Requirements ===<br /> * Do not connect to the Internet without the user&#039;s or administrator&#039;s permission. <br /> * Make it possible to disable all touch points - ideally with minimal effort (a.k.a. master switch)<br /> * Optionally, make it possible to redirect touch points, e.g. to an Intranet target (e.g. for local deployment of updates, extensions, ...).<br /> <br /> === Usability Requirements ===<br /> * The product must remain functional in it&#039;s core functionality even when there is no network (Internet) connection.<br /> * Especially for indirect links, clearly state the touch point&#039;s target (e.g. in a pop-up).<br /> * When touch points do not work, e.g. because the link target does not exist, provide clear and unambiguous error messages, ideally with instructions on how to report the problem.<br /> * Use screen real estate sparingly. Do not display multiple touch points in the same place, when screen real estate is limited. E.g. do not display &quot;Get Templates&quot;, &quot;Get Samples&quot;, &quot;Get Wizards&quot; and &quot;Get XYZ&quot; in the file menu.<br /> * For extensions, do not introduce touch points to a single extension only (exception: see next chapter). Instead, use touch points to a group of similar extensions (e.g. &quot;Get more templates&quot; pointing to all templates on the extension repository).<br /> * Ideally, only show touch points like &quot;Get more...&quot; when there actually is more on the web than what is already installed on the user&#039;s system.<br /> <br /> === Technical Requirements ===<br /> * Make touch points &quot;end-of-life-able&quot;. When a link target does not exist any longer, it should be easy to remove the touch point from the product, without major technical changes.<br /> <br /> == No rule without an exception ==<br /> Though generally there is the requirement, to never introduce touch point that point to one specific extension only, there will be situations where this is necessary.<br /> <br /> An example for this could be an ODF-file, that contains data which requires a certain extension to view or modify it. The touch point would be e.g. a message box that pops up when the user tries to access or edit the file or the respective content. <br /> <br /> == Examples for new Touch Points ==<br /> The following list includes some examples for new touch points. It is neither complete, nor in any specif order. It should just help to get a better idea about touch points, and hopefully it also triggers some creative thinking about the subject.<br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#000000;

<p>Kkoll: /* Touch Points Defined by Marketing */</p> <hr /> <div>A brief memorandum about touch points and associated requirements<br /> <br /> Lutz Hoeger, Nov 09, 2007, last update: Jan 22, 2008<br /> <br /> <br /> == Touch Points: Links From Product to Web ==<br /> For this memo, &quot;touch point&quot; stands for pointers from the downloadable OpenOffice.org product to web sites that are assembled under the openoffice.org domain. These pointers may be represented in different ways:<br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#000000; color:white&quot;<br /> | &#039;&#039;&#039;Pointer Type&#039;&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;&#039;Explanation&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> |-<br /> | Direct hyperlinks || &quot;Clickable&quot; links that usually point to a web site<br /> |-<br /> | Indirect links || User actions that end up on a web site, e.g. &quot;check for updates&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | References || Plain text references to web sites, e.g. in readme files<br /> |-<br /> | Brand elements || Logo artwork or the name &quot;OpenOffice.org&quot;, not acting as link or reference. Note: This pointer type is not part of this memo.<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> == Why Touch Points? ==<br /> <br /> * The OOo product is very successful. As of today, we speak about one million downloads per week.<br /> * But users of the product do not necessarily visit the OOo web site(s) frequently (cf. IDC and OpenOffice.org Survey, Nov. 2006) - if they know it at all.<br /> * So it seems desirable to build on top of the OOo product success and guide traffic to the OOo web site. Various groups would benefit from this in many ways:<br /> ** OOo Users.

As the traffic on OOo web sites increases, more people have the chance to join the community and participate in the OOo project.<br /> ** OOo solution providers. They reach a broader audience. This makes OOo web site(s) a more compelling platform for solutions based on OOo.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Links From Where...? ==<br /> Touch points can be implemented in different parts of the OOo product. <br /> * Direct hyperlinks and indirect links from within the application&#039;s graphical user interface (GUI). Examples for such links include already existing links, like the menu command &quot;Help - Check for Updates...&quot; or the hyperlink &quot;Get more extensions here...&quot; in the Extension Manager dialog.

These pointers may be represented in different ways:<br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#000000; color:white&quot;<br /> | &#039;&#039;&#039;Pointer Type&#039;&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;&#039;Explanation&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> |-<br /> | Direct hyperlinks || &quot;Clickable&quot; links that usually point to a web site<br /> |-<br /> | Indirect links || User actions that end up on a web site, e.g. &quot;check for updates&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | References || Plain text references to web sites, e.g. in readme files<br /> |-<br /> | Brand elements || Logo artwork or the name &quot;OpenOffice.org&quot;, not acting as link or reference. Note: This pointer type is not part of this memo.<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> == Why Touch Points? ==<br /> <br /> * The OOo product is very successful. As of today, we speak about one million downloads per week.<br /> * But users of the product do not necessarily visit the OOo web site(s) frequently (cf. IDC and OpenOffice.org Survey, Nov. 2006) - if they know it at all.<br /> * So it seems desirable to build on top of the OOo product success and guide traffic to the OOo web site. Various groups would benefit from this in many ways:<br /> ** OOo Users. They learn better how to do more with their product (updates, extensions, documentation, support, ...), and they easier find information about what is going on in the OOo world (conferences, contests, ...).<br /> ** The OOo community. As the traffic on OOo web sites increases, more people have the chance to join the community and participate in the OOo project.<br /> ** OOo solution providers. They reach a broader audience. This makes OOo web site(s) a more compelling platform for solutions based on OOo.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Links From Where...? ==<br /> Touch points can be implemented in different parts of the OOo product. <br /> * Direct hyperlinks and indirect links from within the application&#039;s graphical user interface (GUI). Examples for such links include already existing links, like the menu command &quot;Help - Check for Updates...&quot; or the hyperlink &quot;Get more extensions here...&quot; in the Extension Manager dialog. But there are also many places for new links of this type, e.g. &quot;Get more templates...&quot; in the template manager or &quot;Find more Clipart...&quot; in the Gallery.<br /> * The OpenOffice.org Help also is an excellent place for touch points. Examples for hyperlinks from the OOo Help are already included: Under &quot;Getting Support&quot; there is a chapter with links to the OOo main web site. The application documentation is a good place for more links, e.g. links from specific subjects to more in-depth how-to documentation on the web, or links to a community maintained help wiki.<br /> * There is a related part of the OOo product, which may be a less obvious place for touch points: the additional product documentation, like readme file, release notes and license file. In the simplest case, these documents are display in plain text, so they provide an opportunity for reference type touch points (hyperlinks usually do not work in plain text mode).<br /> * Further places for touch points depend on the underlying operating and desktop system, and it&#039;s software management facilities. E.g., Windows provides means to link to the vendor, to the support site, etc.<br /> <br /> <br /> == ...To Where? ==<br /> The fundamental principles of OpenOffice.org are centered around free use, community participation, and absence of single-vendor lock-in. For a broad acceptance of touch points it is essential to respect the principles of OOo, and provide mutual benefit to all involved parties (users, community, solution providers).<br /> <br /> This is less of a constraint than an opportunity: The wider the acceptance of (certain) touch points, the higher the likeliness that these touch points will not be removed in any custom OOo release.<br /> <br /> Targets like the extension repository, the OOo main web site, etc. are vendor neutral, and allow for participation for all OOo solution providers - and for an open competition amongst them. Therefor these targets should be preferred over vendor specific targets.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Requirements ==<br /> <br /> === Customer Requirements ===<br /> * Do not connect to the Internet without the user&#039;s or administrator&#039;s permission. <br /> * Make it possible to disable all touch points - ideally with minimal effort (a.k.a. master switch)<br /> * Optionally, make it possible to redirect touch points, e.g. to an Intranet target (e.g. for local deployment of updates, extensions, ...).<br /> <br /> === Usability Requirements ===<br /> * The product must remain functional in it&#039;s core functionality even when there is no network (Internet) connection.<br /> * Especially for indirect links, clearly state the touch point&#039;s target (e.g. in a pop-up).<br /> * When touch points do not work, e.g. because the link target does not exist, provide clear and unambiguous error messages, ideally with instructions on how to report the problem.<br /> * Use screen real estate sparingly. Do not display multiple touch points in the same place, when screen real estate is limited. E.g. do not display &quot;Get Templates&quot;, &quot;Get Samples&quot;, &quot;Get Wizards&quot; and &quot;Get XYZ&quot; in the file menu.<br /> * For extensions, do not introduce touch points to a single extension only (exception: see next chapter). Instead, use touch points to a group of similar extensions (e.g. &quot;Get more templates&quot; pointing to all templates on the extension repository).<br /> * Ideally, only show touch points like &quot;Get more...&quot; when there actually is more on the web than what is already installed on the user&#039;s system.<br /> <br /> === Technical Requirements ===<br /> * Make touch points &quot;end-of-life-able&quot;. When a link target does not exist any longer, it should be easy to remove the touch point from the product, without major technical changes.<br /> <br /> == No rule without an exception ==<br /> Though generally there is the requirement, to never introduce touch point that point to one specific extension only, there will be situations where this is necessary.<br /> <br /> An example for this could be an ODF-file, that contains data which requires a certain extension to view or modify it. The touch point would be e.g. a message box that pops up when the user tries to access or edit the file or the respective content. <br /> <br /> == Examples for new Touch Points ==<br /> The following list includes some examples for new touch points. It is neither complete, nor in any specif order. It should just help to get a better idea about touch points, and hopefully it also triggers some creative thinking about the subject.<br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#000000;

<p>Kkoll: /* Touch Points Defined by Marketing */</p> <hr /> <div>A brief memorandum about touch points and associated requirements<br /> <br /> Lutz Hoeger, Nov 09, 2007, last update: Jan 22, 2008<br /> <br /> <br /> == Touch Points: Links From Product to Web ==<br /> For this memo, &quot;touch point&quot; stands for pointers from the downloadable OpenOffice.org product to web sites that are assembled under the openoffice.org domain. These pointers may be represented in different ways:<br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#000000; color:white&quot;<br /> | &#039;&#039;&#039;Pointer Type&#039;&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;&#039;Explanation&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> |-<br /> | Direct hyperlinks || &quot;Clickable&quot; links that usually point to a web site<br /> |-<br /> | Indirect links || User actions that end up on a web site, e.g. &quot;check for updates&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | References || Plain text references to web sites, e.g. in readme files<br /> |-<br /> | Brand elements || Logo artwork or the name &quot;OpenOffice.org&quot;, not acting as link or reference. Note: This pointer type is not part of this memo.<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> == Why Touch Points? ==<br /> <br /> * The OOo product is very successful. As of today, we speak about one million downloads per week.<br /> * But users of the product do not necessarily visit the OOo web site(s) frequently (cf. IDC and OpenOffice.org Survey, Nov. 2006) - if they know it at all.<br /> * So it seems desirable to build on top of the OOo product success and guide traffic to the OOo web site. Various groups would benefit from this in many ways:<br /> ** OOo Users. They learn better how to do more with their product (updates, extensions, documentation, support, ...), and they easier find information about what is going on in the OOo world (conferences, contests, ...).<br /> ** The OOo community. As the traffic on OOo web sites increases, more people have the chance to join the community and participate in the OOo project.<br /> ** OOo solution providers. They reach a broader audience. This makes OOo web site(s) a more compelling platform for solutions based on OOo.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Links From Where...? ==<br /> Touch points can be implemented in different parts of the OOo product. <br /> * Direct hyperlinks and indirect links from within the application&#039;s graphical user interface (GUI). Examples for such links include already existing links, like the menu command &quot;Help - Check for Updates...&quot; or the hyperlink &quot;Get more extensions here...&quot; in the Extension Manager dialog. But there are also many places for new links of this type, e.g. &quot;Get more templates...&quot; in the template manager or &quot;Find more Clipart...&quot; in the Gallery.<br /> * The OpenOffice.org Help also is an excellent place for touch points. Examples for hyperlinks from the OOo Help are already included: Under &quot;Getting Support&quot; there is a chapter with links to the OOo main web site. The application documentation is a good place for more links, e.g. links from specific subjects to more in-depth how-to documentation on the web, or links to a community maintained help wiki.<br /> * There is a related part of the OOo product, which may be a less obvious place for touch points: the additional product documentation, like readme file, release notes and license file. In the simplest case, these documents are display in plain text, so they provide an opportunity for reference type touch points (hyperlinks usually do not work in plain text mode).<br /> * Further places for touch points depend on the underlying operating and desktop system, and it&#039;s software management facilities. E.g., Windows provides means to link to the vendor, to the support site, etc.<br /> <br /> <br /> == ...To Where? ==<br /> The fundamental principles of OpenOffice.org are centered around free use, community participation, and absence of single-vendor lock-in. For a broad acceptance of touch points it is essential to respect the principles of OOo, and provide mutual benefit to all involved parties (users, community, solution providers).<br /> <br /> This is less of a constraint than an opportunity: The wider the acceptance of (certain) touch points, the higher the likeliness that these touch points will not be removed in any custom OOo release.<br /> <br /> Targets like the extension repository, the OOo main web site, etc. are vendor neutral, and allow for participation for all OOo solution providers - and for an open competition amongst them. Therefor these targets should be preferred over vendor specific targets.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Requirements ==<br /> <br /> === Customer Requirements ===<br /> * Do not connect to the Internet without the user&#039;s or administrator&#039;s permission. <br /> * Make it possible to disable all touch points - ideally with minimal effort (a.k.a. master switch)<br /> * Optionally, make it possible to redirect touch points, e.g. to an Intranet target (e.g. for local deployment of updates, extensions, ...).<br /> <br /> === Usability Requirements ===<br /> * The product must remain functional in it&#039;s core functionality even when there is no network (Internet) connection.<br /> * Especially for indirect links, clearly state the touch point&#039;s target (e.g. in a pop-up).<br /> * When touch points do not work, e.g. because the link target does not exist, provide clear and unambiguous error messages, ideally with instructions on how to report the problem.<br /> * Use screen real estate sparingly. Do not display multiple touch points in the same place, when screen real estate is limited. E.g. do not display &quot;Get Templates&quot;, &quot;Get Samples&quot;, &quot;Get Wizards&quot; and &quot;Get XYZ&quot; in the file menu.<br /> * For extensions, do not introduce touch points to a single extension only (exception: see next chapter). Instead, use touch points to a group of similar extensions (e.g. &quot;Get more templates&quot; pointing to all templates on the extension repository).<br /> * Ideally, only show touch points like &quot;Get more...&quot; when there actually is more on the web than what is already installed on the user&#039;s system.<br /> <br /> === Technical Requirements ===<br /> * Make touch points &quot;end-of-life-able&quot;. When a link target does not exist any longer, it should be easy to remove the touch point from the product, without major technical changes.<br /> <br /> == No rule without an exception ==<br /> Though generally there is the requirement, to never introduce touch point that point to one specific extension only, there will be situations where this is necessary.<br /> <br /> An example for this could be an ODF-file, that contains data which requires a certain extension to view or modify it.

<p>Kkoll: /* Touch Points Defined by Marketing */</p> <hr /> <div>A brief memorandum about touch points and associated requirements<br /> <br /> Lutz Hoeger, Nov 09, 2007, last update: Jan 22, 2008<br /> <br /> <br /> == Touch Points: Links From Product to Web ==<br /> For this memo, &quot;touch point&quot; stands for pointers from the downloadable OpenOffice.org product to web sites that are assembled under the openoffice.org domain. These pointers may be represented in different ways:<br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#000000; color:white&quot;<br /> | &#039;&#039;&#039;Pointer Type&#039;&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;&#039;Explanation&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> |-<br /> | Direct hyperlinks || &quot;Clickable&quot; links that usually point to a web site<br /> |-<br /> | Indirect links || User actions that end up on a web site, e.g. &quot;check for updates&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | References || Plain text references to web sites, e.g. in readme files<br /> |-<br /> | Brand elements || Logo artwork or the name &quot;OpenOffice.org&quot;, not acting as link or reference. Note: This pointer type is not part of this memo.<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> == Why Touch Points? ==<br /> <br /> * The OOo product is very successful. As of today, we speak about one million downloads per week.<br /> * But users of the product do not necessarily visit the OOo web site(s) frequently (cf. IDC and OpenOffice.org Survey, Nov. 2006) - if they know it at all.<br /> * So it seems desirable to build on top of the OOo product success and guide traffic to the OOo web site. Various groups would benefit from this in many ways:<br /> ** OOo Users. They learn better how to do more with their product (updates, extensions, documentation, support, ...), and they easier find information about what is going on in the OOo world (conferences, contests, ...).<br /> ** The OOo community. As the traffic on OOo web sites increases, more people have the chance to join the community and participate in the OOo project.<br /> ** OOo solution providers. They reach a broader audience. This makes OOo web site(s) a more compelling platform for solutions based on OOo.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Links From Where...? ==<br /> Touch points can be implemented in different parts of the OOo product. <br /> * Direct hyperlinks and indirect links from within the application&#039;s graphical user interface (GUI). Examples for such links include already existing links, like the menu command &quot;Help - Check for Updates...&quot; or the hyperlink &quot;Get more extensions here...&quot; in the Extension Manager dialog. But there are also many places for new links of this type, e.g. &quot;Get more templates...&quot; in the template manager or &quot;Find more Clipart...&quot; in the Gallery.<br /> * The OpenOffice.org Help also is an excellent place for touch points. Examples for hyperlinks from the OOo Help are already included: Under &quot;Getting Support&quot; there is a chapter with links to the OOo main web site. The application documentation is a good place for more links, e.g. links from specific subjects to more in-depth how-to documentation on the web, or links to a community maintained help wiki.<br /> * There is a related part of the OOo product, which may be a less obvious place for touch points: the additional product documentation, like readme file, release notes and license file. In the simplest case, these documents are display in plain text, so they provide an opportunity for reference type touch points (hyperlinks usually do not work in plain text mode).<br /> * Further places for touch points depend on the underlying operating and desktop system, and it&#039;s software management facilities. E.g., Windows provides means to link to the vendor, to the support site, etc.<br /> <br /> <br /> == ...To Where? ==<br /> The fundamental principles of OpenOffice.org are centered around free use, community participation, and absence of single-vendor lock-in. For a broad acceptance of touch points it is essential to respect the principles of OOo, and provide mutual benefit to all involved parties (users, community, solution providers).<br /> <br /> This is less of a constraint than an opportunity: The wider the acceptance of (certain) touch points, the higher the likeliness that these touch points will not be removed in any custom OOo release.<br /> <br /> Targets like the extension repository, the OOo main web site, etc. are vendor neutral, and allow for participation for all OOo solution providers - and for an open competition amongst them. Therefor these targets should be preferred over vendor specific targets.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Requirements ==<br /> <br /> === Customer Requirements ===<br /> * Do not connect to the Internet without the user&#039;s or administrator&#039;s permission. <br /> * Make it possible to disable all touch points - ideally with minimal effort (a.k.a. master switch)<br /> * Optionally, make it possible to redirect touch points, e.g. to an Intranet target (e.g. for local deployment of updates, extensions, ...).<br /> <br /> === Usability Requirements ===<br /> * The product must remain functional in it&#039;s core functionality even when there is no network (Internet) connection.<br /> * Especially for indirect links, clearly state the touch point&#039;s target (e.g. in a pop-up).<br /> * When touch points do not work, e.g. because the link target does not exist, provide clear and unambiguous error messages, ideally with instructions on how to report the problem.<br /> * Use screen real estate sparingly. Do not display multiple touch points in the same place, when screen real estate is limited. E.g. do not display &quot;Get Templates&quot;, &quot;Get Samples&quot;, &quot;Get Wizards&quot; and &quot;Get XYZ&quot; in the file menu.<br /> * For extensions, do not introduce touch points to a single extension only (exception: see next chapter). Instead, use touch points to a group of similar extensions (e.g. &quot;Get more templates&quot; pointing to all templates on the extension repository).<br /> * Ideally, only show touch points like &quot;Get more...&quot; when there actually is more on the web than what is already installed on the user&#039;s system.<br /> <br /> === Technical Requirements ===<br /> * Make touch points &quot;end-of-life-able&quot;. When a link target does not exist any longer, it should be easy to remove the touch point from the product, without major technical changes.<br /> <br /> == No rule without an exception ==<br /> Though generally there is the requirement, to never introduce touch point that point to one specific extension only, there will be situations where this is necessary.<br /> <br /> An example for this could be an ODF-file, that contains data which requires a certain extension to view or modify it. The touch point would be e.g. a message box that pops up when the user tries to access or edit the file or the respective content. <br /> <br /> == Examples for new Touch Points ==<br /> The following list includes some examples for new touch points. It is neither complete, nor in any specif order. It should just help to get a better idea about touch points, and hopefully it also triggers some creative thinking about the subject.<br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#000000; color:white&quot;<br /> | &#039;&#039;&#039;Source&#039;&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;&#039;Target&#039;&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;&#039;Remark&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> |-<br /> | Template and Documents dialog, Impress task pane &quot;Master Pages&quot; || Template collection on extension repository (ER) || &quot;Get more templates...&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | Gallery || Gallery themes / clipart collection on ER || &quot;Find more clipart...&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | Calc, menu &quot;Tools&quot; || Calc tool collection on ER || &quot;Find more Calc tools...&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | Calc, function autopilot, function list || Calc function collection on ER || &quot;Get more functions...&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | Chart, chart type list || Chart types collection on ER || <br /> |-<br /> | Macro organizer || Macro collection on ER || &quot;Get more Macros...&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | Language attribute selection || Dictionary collection on ER or dictionary download page || &quot;Get dictionaries...&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | Writer, AutoText dialog || AutoText collection on ER || &quot;Find more AutoTexts...&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | OOo Help || Documentation wiki || &quot;Find help online...&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | OOo Help, specific places || Specific items on the How-To list on OOo || &quot;Read more about this feature online...&quot;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> == Touch Points Defined by Marketing ==<br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#000000; color:white&quot;<br /> | &#039;&#039;&#039;Location&#039;&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;&#039;Target&#039;&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;&#039;Remark&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> |-<br /> | First start Wizard - final page || Repository: All template and gallery packs || Get templates, example and pictures<br /> |-<br /> | Template and Documents dialog || All template packs on the Extension Repository || Get more templates...<br /> |-<br /> | Template Management dialog || Repository: All template packs || Get more templates...<br /> |-<br /> | Extension Manager || Repository: All extensions || Get new extensions<br /> |-<br /> | Help menu || Documentation project Page || Documentation on OpenOffice.org<br /> |-<br /> | Help menu || OpenOffice.org Help Forum || OpenOffice.org Help Forum <br /> |-<br /> | Help menu || OpenOffice.org Support Vendor page || OpenOffice.org <br /> | OO.o Help - Specific items || Specific items on the How-To list on OOo || Read more about this feature online..<br /> |-<br /> | OO.o Help - Documentation || Documentation project page || Documentation on OpenOffice.org<br /> |-<br /> <br /> | Impress Master Page task pane || Repository: Template packs with a slide background tag || Get more slide backgrounds...<br /> |-<br /> <br /> |}<br /> <br /> Touch points that relatively complicated to accomplish<br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#000000; color:white&quot;<br /> | &#039;&#039;&#039;Location&#039;&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;&#039;Target&#039;&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;&#039;Remark&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> |-<br /> | Error and warning message box || Link to a search result page on OO.o with all error related postings || Find help on OpenOffice.org<br /> |-<br /> | Calc: Error at the function result || Link to a search result page on OO.o with all error related postings || Error message as link double click the mouse on the status bar<br /> |-<br /> | Insert - Pictures - &lt;Picture Repository&gt; || Repository: All (Gallery) Image packs || Get more pictures...<br /> |-<br /> | Insert - Movies and sounds - &lt;Movie and Sounds Repository&gt; || Repository: All Movies and Sounds packs || Get more movies and sounds...<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Extensions]]<br /> [[Category:Features]]<br /> [[Category:Guidelines]]<br /> [[Category:Marketing]]</div>

Do not display multiple touch points in the same place, when screen real estate is limited. E.g. do not display &quot;Get Templates&quot;, &quot;Get Samples&quot;, &quot;Get Wizards&quot; and &quot;Get XYZ&quot; in the file menu.<br /> * For extensions, do not introduce touch points to a single extension only (exception: see next chapter). Instead, use touch points to a group of similar extensions (e.g. &quot;Get more templates&quot; pointing to all templates on the extension repository).<br /> * Ideally, only show touch points like &quot;Get more...&quot; when there actually is more on the web than what is already installed on the user&#039;s system.<br /> <br /> === Technical Requirements ===<br /> * Make touch points &quot;end-of-life-able&quot;. When a link target does not exist any longer, it should be easy to remove the touch point from the product, without major technical changes.<br /> <br /> == No rule without an exception ==<br /> Though generally there is the requirement, to never introduce touch point that point to one specific extension only, there will be situations where this is necessary.<br /> <br /> An example for this could be an ODF-file, that contains data which requires a certain extension to view or modify it.

<p>Kkoll: /* Examples for new Touch Points */</p> <hr /> <div>A brief memorandum about touch points and associated requirements<br /> <br /> Lutz Hoeger, Nov 09, 2007, last update: Jan 22, 2008<br /> <br /> <br /> == Touch Points: Links From Product to Web ==<br /> For this memo, &quot;touch point&quot; stands for pointers from the downloadable OpenOffice.org product to web sites that are assembled under the openoffice.org domain. These pointers may be represented in different ways:<br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#000000; color:white&quot;<br /> | &#039;&#039;&#039;Pointer Type&#039;&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;&#039;Explanation&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> |-<br /> | Direct hyperlinks || &quot;Clickable&quot; links that usually point to a web site<br /> |-<br /> | Indirect links || User actions that end up on a web site, e.g. &quot;check for updates&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | References || Plain text references to web sites, e.g. in readme files<br /> |-<br /> | Brand elements || Logo artwork or the name &quot;OpenOffice.org&quot;, not acting as link or reference. Note: This pointer type is not part of this memo.<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> == Why Touch Points? ==<br /> <br /> * The OOo product is very successful. As of today, we speak about one million downloads per week.<br /> * But users of the product do not necessarily visit the OOo web site(s) frequently (cf. IDC and OpenOffice.org Survey, Nov. 2006) - if they know it at all.<br /> * So it seems desirable to build on top of the OOo product success and guide traffic to the OOo web site. Various groups would benefit from this in many ways:<br /> ** OOo Users. They learn better how to do more with their product (updates, extensions, documentation, support, ...), and they easier find information about what is going on in the OOo world (conferences, contests, ...).<br /> ** The OOo community. As the traffic on OOo web sites increases, more people have the chance to join the community and participate in the OOo project.<br /> ** OOo solution providers. They reach a broader audience. This makes OOo web site(s) a more compelling platform for solutions based on OOo.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Links From Where...? ==<br /> Touch points can be implemented in different parts of the OOo product. <br /> * Direct hyperlinks and indirect links from within the application&#039;s graphical user interface (GUI). Examples for such links include already existing links, like the menu command &quot;Help - Check for Updates...&quot; or the hyperlink &quot;Get more extensions here...&quot; in the Extension Manager dialog. But there are also many places for new links of this type, e.g. &quot;Get more templates...&quot; in the template manager or &quot;Find more Clipart...&quot; in the Gallery.<br /> * The OpenOffice.org Help also is an excellent place for touch points. Examples for hyperlinks from the OOo Help are already included: Under &quot;Getting Support&quot; there is a chapter with links to the OOo main web site. The application documentation is a good place for more links, e.g. links from specific subjects to more in-depth how-to documentation on the web, or links to a community maintained help wiki.<br /> * There is a related part of the OOo product, which may be a less obvious place for touch points: the additional product documentation, like readme file, release notes and license file.
