IA2 branch testing of r1484083 merege with trunk

So noticed that Steve Yin has done a merge of IA2 with trunk as rev 1484083, assuming it makes it out onto the
Buildbot for tomorrow's nightly, this build will need some love from the QA side. Fortunately,  it should
have all of the work done on Sidebar through r1483767 so wasted effort there.

Steve, so if the buildbot remains flaky, could you (or Oliver or Ariel) put up a working dev build?

Its been quite a while since we've had a viable IA2 build to work against, and even the r1476794 currently
posted is not coming up with IAccessible2 in ACCPROBE--not sure what is going on with that.  But  I think
anyone testing the branch will need a bit of hand holding to get the test environment functional--can you
please expand the tips: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Tips+for+branch+ia2

Proposal for sidebar help

Hi all,

I'm going to write a new help page for the bundled help for the new 
sidebar window. From a technical point of view it works already. But I'm 
no native English speaker and therefore my English sounds strange 
sometimes. So I need your help.

I have copied the page into a text document. Find it at 
http://people.apache.org/~regina/SidebarHelpProposal.odt
The first sentence will be the extended help tip. The links will not 
work in this text document, but will go to the referenced help pages in 
original.

Turn of text and table boundaries to show it the same way as it will be 
in the help.

Please improve and correct the content and sent the file back to me or 
put your suggestions in a reply here.

Kind regards
Regina

[UI]Better use of space on Cross-Reference dialogue

On the EN forum you can find a mock-up that redistribute the
Cross-Reference tab on Fields→Others dialogue, using the space in a far
better way

Is something like that possible/difficult/easy to do? It will be a huge
improvement for complex documents.

Presentation about AOO 4.0

Hi,

next week I will be holding a presentation about AOO for OS/2 in 
Heemskerk, Holland.

The presentation will focus on OS/2 features, but I want to show some 
new features available in 4.0 code.

I'm thinking about the following items (taken from this list and from 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.0+Release+P
lanning):

- new directory layout
- merge of ibm symphony code
- new gallery images
- sidebar
- bug fixes
- filters

do you have something more to add? possibly with some material I can 
show or search around.

thanks!

[EXT] Import xsl filter problem

Hello,

i made simple xsl filter to import xml file. Now i am trying to create
extension from it using this info:
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Filter_extensions

I managed to create it, but my filter is in Tools - XMLFilter Setting -
Filter name - Edit - Transformation - XSLT for export.
When i copy paste path from XSLT for export to path XSLT for import, it
works as expected.

So my question is, how i need to edit Filter.xcu to make my filter present
in import?

Here is my Filter.xcu

unexpected results with Linux Intel RPM install, developer snapshot

I installed the Linux RPM pack the was I normally do -- 32 bit version --
but I'm not getting the normal directory structure for the "/program"
directory -- only a bunch of library files. So, no runnable program. Can
someone else try this and see if the results are the same for them. Maybe I
really messed up...I will try installing again.
