OpenOffice.org Specifications

Welcome to the web based collaboration area of the OpenOffice.org Specification Project. Specifications are an essential part of the OpenOffice.org development process. They serve as working base for Development, User Experience, Quality Assurance and Documentation.

Specification Template

We think that writing a specification should be as painles as possible that's why we have created a specification template. A template simplifies the process of writing specifications, lowers the number of defects within specifications and reduces the time to review specifications.

Note: the template requires OpenOffice.org 2.02 or later, make also sure that your OpenOffice.org proxy settings are configured correctly. They can be found under Tools/Options/Internet/Proxy.

  • Will the changes modify the installation process or the installer configuration of OpenOffice.org in any way?
