Several months ago I presented the idea to add a search toolbar to OpenOffice.org. The framework team received some feedback where most of them were positive. Unfortunately, due to the feature set the implementation part grew to a
... [More]
non-bearable beast for our volunteer developer. Therefore we had to stop the implementation and thought about the situation. Thanks to the data from the OpenOffice.org Improvement Program the UX team were able to help us to find a good solution. UX team found out that only very few people use more advanced features for searching. They created a new specification where only the most used functions are available. To have a more positive naming scheme it was decided to change the name from search to find bar. This decision was a big help for our volunteer developer Robert Zhou and he can now provide a first version of the find bar. You can see a screen shot from the first version below:
The find bar consists of an edit field which contains the search text and buttons to search down and upwards. A hidden button to open the find & replace dialog can be configured via the context menu.
You can find the detailed specification for the find bar here:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Specification_Common_find_toolbar
If you interested to help us we are looking for volunteers for QA, user experience and developers. There is no need to be an experienced open source volunteer. You can start with easy tasks and get familiar as time goes by. Therefore everybody who wants to join the OpenOffice.org community can provide valuable input. This is your chance to actively influence the progress of OpenOffice.org.
You can contact me via e-mail or subscribe to the framework development mailing list. Everybody is welcome. The framework team will help you to have an easy start. [Less]

OpenOffice you can insert views into a Calc Spreadsheet and analyze data from an Palo Cube. It also allows direct access to cube data and database infos by using spreadsheet formulas to create individual reports based on Palo Server Data and Palo Server structure information.
In addition the Addin provides a user interface to create and modify Palo Databases and its contents. You can easily create dimensions with its consolidation hierarchy, create cubes and define access criteria for the database. [Less]

Up, builders returned (finally) to get the side-way roof
affixed; good stuff. Poked at mail, drifted to sleep and - somehow
stumbled on a really nice set of n900 videos
(NB. viewer caution advised: there -may- be (some)

non-free
software on the N900 [ next to the ton of great Free software ],
and you -might- need to use a non-free player to view the videos;
Death to the pragmatists !) - woke up in a cold-sweat, to
discover the world is still sane.
Talked with the MariaDB guys a little, some similarities and
differences to the OO.o world; we are optimistic that Oracle would find
it hard to do a worse job than Sun of stewardship, whereas they are
less so.
Prodded Clarity. Quote for the day, from Eben Moglen's
EC
submission, (point 35. - considering unlikely negative scenarios):
Experience shows that the trademark attack is
likely to fail. Popular free software programs with large personal as
well as enterprise install bases have been denied use of their
"brands" in the past. GAIM was denied use of its name by AOL and
became Pidgin; Phoenix became Firebird became Firefox, which in turn
denied use of its name to the Debian browser version now known as
Iceweasel. Lawyers for free software projects have learned that name
changes are of minor concern to projects substantially based around
commons production, and that trademark forms a poor way to restrict
commons development.
Eben's latest Update
is also interesting, in particular the suggestion that an eclectically
owned GPLv3'd MySQL would be a good thing, which understandably concerned Monty.
What a tangled web of pragmatic business and Freedom interests; most
interesting. [Less]
