5) Content
Common sessions / Workshops around native issues:
Warning: this is a draft (Eric Bachard) : Introduction of the meeting: - status of Macport - objectives and last news - Technical description of work in progress Technical points to fix together: 1) reorganize the tree for native version ( ericb'd vote for an obr task :-) ) 2) improve configure for both Aqua and X11 version / ( Claude Lohmaier ) either) - modify configure step : provide config.parms.aqua, config.parms.X11 containing specific Mac OS X command line, and just use ./configure --with-config.parms=config.parms.aqua ( or config.parms.X11 ) or) or fix configure. Current issues : bad or wrong/missing autodetection of things - session (workshop ?) about native controls implementation : code review/design or continue the work in case everything is not ready - current work in progress: fonts ( multiline sallayout : understand what has to be done, describe the todo) - workshop about debugging OpenOffice.org on Mac OS X : gdb .. maybe complete with leaks and/or other tools ? Possible action items : - discuss and define a precise todolist - divide the work - describe party : describe with words and sentences what has exactly to be done for missing parts: Where in the code, who can provide informations, tips...etc - write a list of missing classes and methods. - define code intregration strategy - define rules for code review based on wiki - define a plan for Aqua Human Interface Guidelines integration ( modify menus ? ) Other subjects for what volunteers can propose workshops : - Debuging /using tools for track and /or analyse bugs (very well adapted to workshops) - QA workshop for Mac OS X - windowing (salinst*) - redrawing - fonts - native printing (WIP by Yvan Barthélemy, who will provide informations ) - packaging ..etc (propose other)
