Subject: regarding proposal for enhanced OOo input fields
Dear TC members, in the last days I was working on a proposal for the feature request for enhanced OOo input fields. I have been discussing this proposal with certain OpenOffice.org developers from Sun and Novell, especially Florian Reuter, who already is been working on an implementation for OpenOffice.org. The discussions revealed that in the future there will be similar feature requests to ODF for further OpenOffice.org fields - existing ones and new ones. Background of these future enhancements of the OpenOffice.org fields functionality are: - OpenOffice.org community requests for enhancement. - usability issues. - issues to improve interoperability of OpenOffice.org text documents with Microsoft Word documents. We, mainly Florian Reuter and myself, came to the conclusion, that it would be better to have a more general feature in ODF to fulfill these requests for OpenOffice.org. We also think that it does not make sense to have now a feature in ODF, which fulfills the enhancements for one of OpenOffice.org fields, namely the enhanced OOo input field. Thus, we want to draw back the feature request/proposal for enhanced OOo input fields for the moment. But, we are planning to come up with a more general request in the next weeks. Because of its nature this request won't be a minor feature enhancement for ODF. Thus, we think, that it will be nothing for ODF 1.2, but for the following version of ODF.
