Updating XSLT based filters – enhancing XHTML export
Jogi Sievers
Svante Schubert (Co-lead XML project) has finished an update for the XHTML export filter. It was the 14th of April where the CWS arrived ready for QA-status. In the meanwhile Svante and Mathias Bauer also have discussed about updating the XSLT based filters via an extension [issue 88270] to be independent from update cycles of the whole office application. So the iTeam decided to expand the scope of the CWS DEV300/xsltfilter09 and I am really happy that we have done that.

One week later – 21st of April – the CWS was again ready for QA and with the integration of the CWS xsltfilter09 to the DEV300 master workspace the OpenOffice.org will get some really great enhancements for the XHTML export and also the other XSLT based filters (e.g. DocBook XML):

Great work Mathias and Svante!

A New User Experience Team Logo
Christian Jansen

 New UX Logo

 

I'm happy to announce the new logo of the User Experience Team.
The main goal of the logo is to penetrate core values of the project:


The three terms summarize in a very short manner what the User
Experience Team's overall goals are. The list below describes the
meaning a little bit more in detail:

Usability:
This term explains the ease with which people can work with
OpenOffice.org to archive their goal in a particular context in an
effective and efficient manner. Sadly, this term is usually meant to
describe the “user friendliness” in the field of computer-human
interaction.

Productivity:
This term accompanies “usability” because of the general
misunderstanding of meaning “user friendliness” only. Again, it
emphasizes that working with OpenOffice.org should raise the
“productivity” significantly.

Enjoyment:
Working with OpenOffice.org should be pleasant. This is important, if
OpenOffice.org wants to attract new users and keep the experienced ones.
Currently, OpenOffice.org loses many potential users who dislike the
overall behavior/look of OpenOffice.org. But there is also a serious
fact: people which are happy with a product tend to be more creative in
their solution findings.

The logo is the first step to improve the external communication of the
User Experience project. If you want to know more, then please have a
look at:

As always feedback and comments are highly appreciated.

Christian
