Effort/Revise OOo Multi-Threading
Status: in progress
Cleaning up OOo Multi Threading
More or less frequently people complain about OOo in respect to multi threading. Either because it is complicated to implement a service, or that there is only few documentation, or that the UNO API is not thread safe, or that it does not scale etc.
The OOo Threading Effort attempts to clean-up OOos threading model (how to use threads) and to implement a Basic Threading architecture (where and when to use threads), providing an overview and documentation of the threads used in OOo. Further progress is planned to be implemented in another effort, eventually leading to an Advanced Threading architecture.
The below tasks list gives a high level overview, of what needs to be done. Links to dedicated pages addressing the topics are going to be added while the project proceeds.

Current understanding of the topic lets us think, that the changes of OOo on behalf of the threading effort are going to be integrated early into the next major version (OOo 3), probably early in 2006.
