Description christian.jansen 2005-01-18 16:09:16 UTC 
OpenOffice.org Base should be added to the module tree (Windows and Unix) like
all the other program modules of OpenOffice.org. Please ping Falko regarding the
module description. I propose to use the same as already have in the Start menu.

IS -> FT: Before I include the new module, I need the module name and
description. Furthermore the name of the Solaris package (RPM).
Next to "staroffice-draw-8-1.i586.rpm" this would be
"staroffice-base-8-1.i586.rpm".
Comment 2 falko.tesch 2005-01-19 11:04:07 UTC 
FT: Please refer to
http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/module_name_in_caption_bar/module_name_in_caption_bar.sxw
for module names.
The name for the RPM is fine.

grabbing and retargeting.

In the current state, it's too late to implement this. We need to clearly define
what should be part of the "OpenOffice.org Base" module (which is non-trivial
itself), and we need to ensure that all applications respect a not-installed
Base module (at the moment, they'll probably simply crash ...)

so far, we know that the following should be part of a "Base module"
- the help section
- the File|New menu entry
- the system integration
- database related wizards

unclear:
- the filter for database documents?
- the filter configuration? I.e., will "Database documents" appear in the file-open
  dialog?
- the data source browser?
- the options for "OpenOffice.org Base" in Tools|Options?
- the connection pooling feature?
- Mail Merge?
- Exchange|Database
- probably more ....

It is a logical step. Different module, different installation option.
Comment 5 Frank Schönheit 2005-07-01 07:55:54 UTC 
fixed as issue 46898, at least in a basic way, which needs refinement later on
