It would probably help if you were more specific with your proposal. Renaming things in the code just because it's now called LibreOffice is probably not worth it (there's still enough code that has naming from the times it was called StarOffice). Being more specific would also (hopefully) help others to understand what improvement you expect from it - believe it or not, what you as a newcomer may find batshit insane may look perfectly normal to long time developers since they've simply already gotten used to it. If this is about those com::sun::start::whatever namespaces specifically, then I think it's part of the UNO interfaces and as such it needs to be kept for backwards compatibility for extensions. -- Lubos Lunak l.lu...@suse.cz _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
