Recently and as part of my doctoral research project, I have extended
the OpenOffice
XHTML export filter by fixing numerous bugs and adding new features
Great news! The XHTML filter is one of those components that definitely
need improvement, and it's good to know that someone in the community
silently decided to go on and improve it.
Now, I need you help to incorporate these extensions into OpenOffice and
give the community a better experience with the XHTML filter. Actually, I
don't khow what the process is. Thanks!
I assume you modified the OpenOffice sources directly (we use the word
"extensions" to denote independent components in OXT format, but, given
the context, your changes are likely applied to the main source code).
Which version did you base upon (sources from OpenOffice 3.4.1, an SVN
checkout from trunk)? I believe that code has been largely unchanged
recently, so your changes should apply to all recent versions.
The recommended approach is to contribute a patch through our Bugzilla
system:
1) Generate a diff of your code with respect to the OpenOffice code it
was based upon ("svn diff" will do) and save it to a text file.
2) Create an account on https://issues.apache.org/ooo/
3) Open a new issue of type PATCH (don't worry about the other fields,
we can set them appropriately later) and attach the file generated in
step 1. Also specify which revision/tag you used for the original sources.
4) Send the issue number (or link) here so that everybody can take a look.
Should you need any further help with the procedure, just ask here.
We'll also, out of curiosity, want to know more about your research
project and how it is related to OpenOffice, but starting with the code
seems just right.
Regards,
Andrea.
