This project is designed to optimize the architecture,custom-tailor a concrete product of OpenOffice which the end-user can select their favorite features and make the OOo kernel more and more smaller.

MS documents, and so on ...

It seems a hero is needed ... we want to move out to fill this position ...

- Add missing/useful configure switches (e.g. enable/disable headless).

- Create a build helper, supporting checkout, configuration and building of OOo.

- Separate features as needed and make them optional.

- Disentangle the OOo applications..

1. end-user can custom-tailor the features of OOo .<br>

2. developers only need build and update part of the module to update the OOo.<br>

A prototype of the Build Wizard may be started directly: [http://modularization.openoffice.org/dist/launch.jnlp Build Wizard]

3. Splitting the OOo to kernel(smaller is better) and apps to enable the office vendors can custom-tailor their products. Just like Linux kernal and Mozilla core.<br>

The Modularization Project

Many words may be used for OOo, though small is not with them :-) OOo is a huge project, with lots of code and a more or less monolithic architecture.

It seems a hero is needed ... we want to move out to fill this position ...

... to Improve and Support Modularization of OOo.

The Build Wizard

A prototype of the Build Wizard may be started directly: Build Wizard

IRC

Meet us on IRC. Every Tuesday we do meet on IRC to discuss progress and state, goals and the weather.

Channel: irc.freenode.net#ooom12n
Time: 3:00pm PEK / 9:00am HAM / 4:00am New York / 1:00am SFO

DOING

  1. Docbook support configurable. ( Just uploaded the unfinished extension File:DocBook.zip.gz )
  2. new configure tree node
