OpenOffice.org: KDE Integration Project Launched

Posted by timothy on Sunday December 14, 2003 @08:18AM from the smoothing-the-edges dept.

vfs writes "Someone at pclinuxonline.com noticed that a OpenOffice/KDE Integration Project has been started to "provide tight (but optional) integration of the OpenOffice.org to the KDE environment beginning with KDE look and feel and ending with KDE data sources." This could offer a great opportunity for enterprises to deploy an integrated, unified desktop." (Here's the dot.kde.org post on the project.)

Re:Rewrite OOo in XUL by Feztaa · 2003-12-14 23:50 · Score: 4, Funny

rewrite OOo into XUL/XPCOM/Gecko?

Brilliant!

You know, I've always thought that OpenOffice wasn't slow enough, but I could never think of a decent way to make it slower. You've really hit the nail on the head, though: We can add another abstraction layer to the code!

Seriously, though, I think OOo is already big and slow enough, it needs to become faster, not more bloated. The idea of rewriting OOo's interface in XUL (which is basically XML + javascript) makes me shudder.
