Minutes
- Mail Alias
- We will use mailto:dev@extensions.openoffice.org instead of dev@sw.openoffice.org. The traffic is more or less the same, but by using dev@extensions.openoffice.org we are more visible for other extension teams.
- Project Scope Statement
- started at MediaWiki Extension/Project Scope Statement
- Spec
- started at Specification
- MediaWiki Extension/Use Cases / Template Support
- For the creation of WikiReaders import templates are a useful feature. Furthermore, they help to prevent the user's disorientation by enhancing the visual mapping between MediaWiki and OOo document.
- We will support templates (.ott) that is used for Wiki imports. The template can be customized. If not available, a standard empty document is created. The extension will contain a MediaWiki template that resembles the styles of MediaWiki.
- CVS / CWS / OXT
- name of CWS is SRC680/wikiext01, owner is Mikhail, QA Rep is Éric
- no update from Martin where/how we can place the OXT files during alpha and beta.
