[Libwpg-devel] My intentions next week

Hello, good people.

Today, I branched the writerperfect module and in the fs_odf_porting, I
am trying to create a wpd2odt tool that will create an opendocument
instead of sxw. The goal is that the resulting xml validates against the
strict schema.

Next week, we have a free-hacking week at Novell and we are working on
any projects that we would like. I chose libwpd and libwpg. My goal
would be to start implementing in a branch ABI incompatible changes.
Those changes would be a support for text box and inside it for a
possibility to have a WPG picture parsed and put out as a
WPXInputStream* that libwpg could take and we could then grab its output
and try to insert it in our ODTs. I have already a little idea how to do
it, since one can add a picture as a <draw:g> context into an ODF file.
Since we already have an OdfExporter that converts libwpg's output into
a ODG stream, that should be possible within the week, I hope.

Just to tell you that I will branch also libwpd these days and if you
feel like doing some ABI incompatible changes, feel free to commit to
the branch once it is created.

Any suggestions/patches/... welcome

Cheers

Fridrich
