Lot of these questions would be answered if we would just decide on a spokesman, just for now, and contact OpenOffice.org as listed in the porting page and/or new projects page. They seem to have resources that may be available to use, possibly a basic project structure to follow, not to mention resources on porting. Also, we should be prepared for them to have certain requiements for the port. It is their code. Taking it, port it, and call it something other than OpenOffice.org just seems wrong and not to mention probably breaks some copyright law/IP laws even through it is open source.
I could contact them, my english is more then good enough, but i'll only do so if nobody objects.
Someone should. I've been sitting here thinking about doing it myself, but I keep waiting for someone else to step forward. So, I'll lay down the gauntlet. If we haven't made any positive move on an organizational structure or temporary spokeman, I'll contact the OO.org organization about our port. Does anyone have any pertinent questions, concerns, or other issues they feel should be address in this opening contact.
Hey all. I've sent an inquiry along with 'the usual questions' that have been bouncing around the list, as well as Edwards. No response as of yet, although I emailed dev (also not knowing it was in fact a mailing list, like Ed ;-) ) I'd suggest getting a list of 'need to know' together, either before or after an acting PM, and then sending the same to the other specific contacts listed as being in charge of porting efforts: perhaps Michael, martin.hollmichel@germany.sun.com, listed at http://porting.openoffice.org/
For the love of god, could everyone please *stop* with emailing the OOo team? There should only be one or two people contacting them, and they should be cc'ing eachother aswell.
So please, *STOP* with the mails untill after the head honcho is elected & the poor sod can appoint people to it.
Regards
