Education Project/Effort/Improve Impress

[DRAFT]

Plans

Since recent work in progress for OpenGL transitions integration in the Mac OS X version, it could be interesting to think what could be done to improve Impress?

Ideas coming in mind are :

Be sure it works

Status

- Linux [ OK ] - Mac OS X [Works, work in progress] - Windows [started, does not work]

Application 1 : complete the Windows port ( + write documentation )

Application 2 : optimize the existing implementation, and document it

Understand the Impress application

Application 3 :

- find and document a list of issues Impress related - analyze them (describe intereactions with Stard Draw e.g.) - prepare well described applications
