Posted by michael on from the infinitely-extendable dept.

Jules V.D. writes "The OpenOffice.org group on Friday announced a kit that lets programmers build new modules for open-source alternatives to the Microsoft Office suite.This new SDK is an add-on for OpenOffice.org 1.0.2. It provides the necessary tools and documentation for programming the OpenOffice.org APIs and creating your own extensions (UNO components) for OpenOffice.org."The highlight of this SDK is the new Developer's Guide. This comprehensive guide provides, in 900 pages, a detailed description of the OpenOffice.org API concepts, the OpenOffice.org UNO component model and how to use the API in the context of the different application areas.""

    Assuming they meant A4 pages, that = 561330 square CM of paper.

    Now... if you thought that your Tux wallpaper was geeky ... think again.

    Maybe I should translate it into Yodish Soviet Russian Haxor first for added effect?

    Hmm...

    I am sure evolution will jump on the bandwagon. With that said, I think it is safe to say that we need to start thinking about virus and worms.

    Maybe cloning M$ isn't a good thing after all ;)

      Hell, we could just port vigor to it! (Screenshots)

      And a FreeBSD Port Exists as well. So I'm sure you could apt-get it, rpm it, or emerge it also.

    Consider: Duke3d source code released.

    Consider: Openoffice.Org SDK released within a week thereafter.

    Question: How soon until Duke3d is ported to Openoffice.Org as a module?

    Does anyone else not quite get the point of an SDK for an opensource product?
