Just a few notes on how this works. This team has been created in order to have the office related ports maintained by a pool of commiters and contributors rather then just depending on a single person. The other goal of the team is to try to keep those ports quite consistent between each other, we can now easily discuss about what option to activate by default or not, and try to apply the same rules to all the subset of ports maintained by the team. concerning the commit rules, except if someone has an objection, I think the best for the team is to be "help yourself" driven, which mean everyone can do the work without others approval, based on the idea that anyone is smart enough to discuss big changes before doing it :) I already gives all the ports I maintained which I considered as office related to the list (including the associated PRs :)) feel free to add yours, or those from ports@ if relevant. What is in the office@ TODO list (in fact was in my todo list) and has been started and not finished : - Adding locales thesaurus ports (I think I have added all the possible ones) - Adding locales hyphenation ports (I think I have added all the possible ones) - Adding the hunspell dictionaries ports (lots of them are missing and need to be added) - Update the libreoffice to 3.4.2, George Liaskos Has already done some nice work about this (I already forwarded this to the mailing list) but I haven't had time to integrate his patch yet (there is a git repo here : https://github.com/bapt/libreoffice-ports if need pgj@ has the commit access to it, I can add the access to other people from the list just ask :)) we can also decide that other places are suitable for that. - Be able to provide l10n package for libreoffice, pgj@ has already done a nice work about this, but they are created "the ugly way" splitted the big fat libreoffice package. with 3.4 libreoffice uses translation-toolkit to buit his l10n files, I'm sure we should be able to build them directly from source this needs to be work on if it is possible. - Make use of local hyphen/thesaurus/dicts for libreoffice and maybe others (OOo?) to reduce the size of the generated package (easier for users to download) and to be able for users to have the last available dictionary for their language. Now please add/discuss your own project to that list, remove the maybe crazy idea I got etc. regards, Bapt
