OpenOffice.org Extensions
OpenOffice.org offers the possibility to develop independent 3rd party extensions. The categories of extensions reach from Basic libraries, packages with Java/JavaScript or Python macros to more sophisticated extensions in form of UNO components implemented in Java, C++ or Python. Even the last category of extensions subdivide in general UNO components providing new implementations for existing functional areas or specialized components like Calc Add-Ins, Add-Ons, DataPilots, Chart Add-Ins or linguistic components (e.g. Spellchecker, Hyphenator or Thesaurus).
The Extensions project provides
- Tools, guidelines and starting informations to develop new functionalities for OpenOffice.org
- Repository of existing Extensions: listing and classification
- Deployment to end-users
Translating these pages
The Extension project has to be strongly binded to Native-Lang communities to relay any locale third party development. So it is strongly welcomed to provide translation for the Add-ons but also for the documentation and pages of this site.
The naming convention proposed is to
- Create a new page taking the English page and add your language code as suffix (eg. Extensions_repository_fr)
- Put a link to this translated page at the top of the English page, with the language code
- Be aware that if you start a translation, it would be good to monitor that it remains as in sync as possible
Some extension categories
- Calc Add-Ins provide new Calc built in functions which can be directly used over the normal function dialog in the Calc application.
- Add-ons describe components providing some new functionality and normally coming with an UI integration (e.g. new menu entries or complete new menues, new toolbars).
- DataPilots provide a new kind of data pilot which can be used directly over the DataPilot dialog in the Calc application.
- Chart Add-Ins provide a new chart type
- Linguistic components provides new implementations of know interfaces which can be used directly over the normal UI.
In the future it should be possible to deploy a collection of new document templates or a gallery as extensions as well.
