What changes have you made to OpenOffice.org when compared to its vanilla version?</b> </font></p> <p> <font size="2" face="Arial,Verdana"><a href="http://img.osnews.com/img/3705/xd4.jpg" title="Ximian Desktop 2"><img src="cid:part1.04090703.07020608@yahoo.gr" width="160" height="120" alt="Ximian Desktop 2" align="left"></a> <i>Nat Friedman:</i> We've done about six months of heavy development on OOo, all focused on improving consistency across the desktop and compatibility with Microsoft documents. </font></p> <p> <font size="2" face="Arial,Verdana">We don't _want_ to have any delta against the upstream OOo tree, so we're going to be working to get all of those changes upstream now that this release is done. </font></p> <p> <font size="2" face="Arial,Verdana">Here's a dump of some of the key new features in our OOo: </font></p> <blockquote> <font size="2" face="Arial,Verdana"> - ~1,000 new alpha-blended icons that are aesthetically consistent with the rest of the desktop. We use large icon mode by default. We also have some other new art in some of the wizards and of course the splash (which no longer makes your desktop unusable while each application starts up). </font> <p> <font size="2" face="Arial,Verdana"> - Shares the Gtk theme elements ("theme chameleoning"). Uses fontconfig, AA fonts everywhere in the UI now. </font></p> <p> <font size="2" face="Arial,Verdana"> - Mapping of MSFT document fonts to Agfa fonts (which XD2 includes). </font></p> <p> <font size="2" face="Arial,Verdana"> Also, our artists drew a whole new font just to handle the bullet mappings (which aren't fully covered by Agfa's fonts). </font></p> <p> <font size="2" face="Arial,Verdana"> - GNOME-VFS integration so you can open any files the VFS can get to. This includes files on SMB and NFS shares. We even handle the authentication for these shares (Michael Meeks redid the authentication layer in OOo), so you get prompted if the share is password protected. </font></p> <p> <font size="2" face="Arial,Verdana"> - Nice CUPS printing integration so you get the same printer list in OOo you get everywhere else in the desktop. </font></p> <p> <font size="2" face="Arial,Verdana"> - Support for the recent files spec so that System->Recent Files reflects the documents you've opened in OOo. </font></p> <p> <font size="2" face="Arial,Verdana"> - Uses MSFT file formats by default, reflecting the reality of most of the documents you will receive. No longer tells you you're about to lose all your data when you save in an MSFT format. </font></p> <p> <font size="2" face="Arial,Verdana"> - Removed the non-redistributable GPC library, replaced it with libart so that we can ship OOo with better support for importing PowerPoint presentations. </font></p> <p> <font size="2" face="Arial,Verdana"> - Integrates nicely with Galeon and Evolution. OOo HEAD actually does Evolution addresbook mailmerge, which we're looking forward to. </font></p> <p> <font size="2" face="Arial,Verdana"> - Includes a number of foreign-language dictionaries. </font></p> <p> <font size="2" face="Arial,Verdana"> - We've also done some performance tweaks and fixed a number of customer-reported bugs. Our turnaround time on fixes for document importing issues is actually averaging 24-48 hours, which is pretty remarkable. </font></p> </blockquote> <font size="2" face="Arial,Verdana">That's a quick summary; we have nearly 100 patches against OOo.
