My Efforts
- Effort/Revise OOo Multi-Threading
- Tasks
- cppu - remove the cppu::ClearableEnvGuard - done
- verify that cppu::Shield is indeed needed and works as expected - done, it is needed!
- review documentation, place tests and testers
- rename Environment.pReserved -> pEnterable
- do threading tests - with component, with the office
- convert rest of office services to be thread unsafe - in progress
- convert dtrans to thread affine?
- Rename Threading Model impl to Threading Framework?
- See if I can optimize the "identity mapping" somehow.
- Possible order of integration
- some clean ups
- async dialogs
- thread framework (depends on clean ups)
- vcl thread transparency (depends on thread framework, async dialogs)
- revised uno threading architecture (depends on thread framework)
- revised ooo threading architecture (depends on thread framework, vcl thread transparency)
- Tasks
- Move Uno to stuff into the Uno Wiki.
- Update udk.openoffice.org to reflect latest wiki changes.
