I fully agree with you, it makes MUCH MORE sense to divide the whole branch into a lot of smaller projects, so this way we have both the ported applications (like curl ie. :) available for the community and also get a better "feeling" how this all works together.
No argument there - except that my point was that even the work of finding out all dependencies would be too much to begin with. :-)
Finding the dependencies of a sub-project should be much easier and will substantially contribute to the overall dependancy status of the OOo port as we start to eliminate common dependencies. (e.g. several sub-project depend to some degree on autotools)
I suggest that I, hnl_dk, SieGel and TonyW (as time permits) attempt to determine two (or more) projects each which appear to be good candidates for porting (i.e. realtively "standalone" projects).
Duplicate proposals would not be a problem since this only affirms the status of that sub-project.
Do not forget to check if a port is already available (e.g. zlib).
This can then be used as material for the discussion on friday. (@olegil: Do you have any plan as to when yet?)
Additional investigation of sub-projects and dependencies can then continue alongside initial porting efforts.
Sounds ok? Don't just trust me, THINK! :-)
We should use sourceforge to add/modify the divided projects, and keep the main OO branch out there until we can really start to take the big babe. Just my 2 cents.
Sounds good to me
I'll third that. :-)
