Mac OS X Porting - Work Areas/Todo's
This page is intended to serve as a living ToDo's list for the OpenOffice.org Mac OS X port. To keep things simple it contains the ToDo's for both the X11 version and the upcoming Aqua version of OpenOffice.org for Mac OS X. The page is divided into different work areas which either assigned to a person in charge or are unassigned yet. Below each area there is a detailed list of todo's which has to be maintained by the respective people himself. Persons who are in charge of a certain area are responsible for keeping their respective part of the page up-to-date.
If you're interested in contributing to the project please coordinate with Eric Bachard [1]

Todo list :
- create manager ( using UNO services) [ done ] - create uno layer [ done ] - implement correct service name / implementation name using UNO [ work in progress ] - create player (using QuickTime API) [ work in progress ] Done (using existing Windows implementation) : - all headers are defined - usefull functions are identifed in Apple's API
Other work in progress :
- discuss with ka about new implementation and fix dark points - reuse Windows immlementation for the player - new implementation of -already defined- methods used in the player
Estimation of code remaining to write : 40%

Todo-list for native font implementation :
Missing :
- verify if PolyArgs class didn't chang to much, since basegfx ( e.g. ::basegfx::B2DPolyPolygonVector ) is used
- missing methods (to be implemented) : ATSLayout::InitFont() ATSLayout::MoveGlyph( ) ATSLayout::DropGlyph( ) ATSLayout::Simplify( ) - read Apple API [ Work in progress] - describe current implementation : organisation / design [work in progress] - test old implementation ( current does not build. - provide a proof of concept - testing : code sample - design of new implementation [FIXME] find examples
Estimation of code remaining to write ~90 %
Roadmap
0.0 - understand current font implementation ( using old salatslayout.cxx ) ( work in progress : 40% done )
- analyse and describe Carbon binding in salatslayout.cxx [ 90% done]
0.1 - replace old SalGraphicsData object implementation (found in pre-aquavcl01 files, and now obsolete, because we won't use QDraw anymore)
- define correct naming convention - verify salatsfontutils.cxx definition does match with new salatslayout.cxx content
0.2 - rewrite complete salatslayout.cxx
- fix all compilations issues - run it and fix instant crashs and verity there is no freeze
0.3
- use sample code to test/initialize ATS server ( using e.g. ATSUIDirectAccessDemo ) - verify this server can be initialized inside OpenOffice.org (needs a CFRunLoop working to be correctly initialized )
0.4
- adapt salatslayout.cxx to make it match with sallayout.hxx, and salgdi.hxx, saldata.hxx .etc to make it build with aquavlcl01, and do some tests :
Todo : make current source code match with recent implementation ( 80% done )
