Contribute code for OOXML export
Hi~ All,
Since Office 2007 Microsoft has defaulted to saving files in OOXML format.
And soon, in April, Microsoft will stop supporting Office 2003, the last
version of Office to write the binary format by default. So it becomes more
and more important for AOO to have capability to support OOXML file format
in order to help these users who need to work with OOXML files. AOO already
has some capabilities for OOXML file import, but it needs many
improvements. We have some pilot code for enabling OOXML export, developed
by De Bin, Jian Yuan, Sun Ying, Jin Long... Although it still has some ways
to go before ready for production, we'd like to contribute it first to AOO
for further development so that more developers can work on the framework
and continuously contribute their works. Since it still has many feature
gaps, we propose to put it on a branch firstly, and continue to enhance it,
and integrate it into a release only when we see it ready.

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/branches/ooxml created. Happy
programming.
just write here on the list, whenever you want a merge from trunk.
I cannot comment on how many changes is needed to become a committer, but I
must admit I have not seen your patches on this list ?

As although I contributed 10+ changes, I'm not committer yet, could anybody
help me to create a branch?

+1
It is a feature on top of the requirement list per AOO's early survey.
Let's start!

Very good news! Even if ODF remains the native and preferred format,
users regularly asked for better OOXML interoperability. I agree this
should stay in a branch and not integrated/released until it reaches the
quality users expect from OpenOffice.

Andrea.
