Some Scripts
Building OOo

My Efforts
Effort/Revise OOo Multi-Threading
- Tasks
- 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
- in progress : VCL thread-transparency 1 - vclthreadtransparency1 - depends: bunoexttm
- fix thread-affinity
- DDE
- Drag&Drop
- Clipboard
- open : Binary Uno new threading architecture - bunonewta - depends: bunoexttm
- in progress : async dialogs 2 - asyncdialogs2 - depends: asyncdialogs
- open : VCL thread-transparency 2 - vclthreadtransparency2 - depends: asyncdialogs2, vclthreadtransparency1
- remove the Solar Mutex
- open : new OOo threading architecture - ooonewta - depends: bunoexttm, vclthreadtransparency2
- in progress : VCL thread-transparency 1 - vclthreadtransparency1 - depends: bunoexttm
Move Uno stuff into the Uno Wiki. See Uno/Effort/Migrate Documentation
- Update udk.openoffice.org to reflect latest wiki changes.

Event Driven Programming
- Some comments regarding Linux kevents etc.: http://lwn.net/Articles/225714/ Note: In my understanding the whole discussion is senseless, the way to go for awaiting events should certainly not be fd related, but should just use something as "sigwait" or similar. Please see also Architecture/Proposal/Advanced_Threading-Architecture.
