During my Summer I was selected in the Google Summer of Code to
produce a Eclipse plugin that will help OpenOffice.org developpers in their
task. This project is very wide and could be expanded with a lot of new
features.

The initial goal is to provide a tool for new OOo developpers, with code
generation, UNOIDL syntax highlighting, OpenOffice.org or URE and SDK
configuration and of course many creation wizards. At this point, there are
a few basic features added, however there is still many work to do.

Where to find it ?

You can find the sources on the OpenOffice.org
api project CVS, module ooeclipseintegration. I am trying to build an
update site on my own website… but it is still under construction. The
plugin archive can be found in the build directory. Let me know if

We haven't heard a lot about Open Source Enterprise Content Management

model. Nowadays, Open Source software is powering the Internet. The

it sufficient? If you still have doubt about this model's viability,
please read the following article from Marc Fleury:
Is Open Source capitalism, socialism or communism?).

Le nouvel opus est disponible depuis quelques jours sur le site de
l’éditeur. Des précisions, de nouveaux morceaux de l’API décortiqués, il apporte son lot de nouveautés et prends en compte les spécificités de la
version d’OpenOffice.org 2.

Inconvénient de taille, le pavé s’est encore allourdi ! D’après l’editeur,
on a dépassé les 1,5 kg.
Musclage de neurone en perspective …

J’espère que les lecteurs prendront autant de plaisir à utiliser le livre
que Bernard et moi avons pris à l’écrire !

Voici le mémoire de stage et les slides de soutenance de Myriam

La qualité de son travail linguistique a été souligné par ses examinateurs.
Ce rapport est assurément un document fondateur pour plusieurs
développements ultérieurs pour des outils linguistiques libres.

Son travail préliminaire est intégré à Gramadoir, correcteur grammatical
libre de Kevin Scannel, de l’université de Saint Louis, disponible ici : http://borel.slu.edu/gramadoir/
