What are people's thoughts? I personally like what Tim has added so far and would love to see it working on win32 also. Just my .02.
Well... personally it still gives me the itchy-shivers, but that's just mainly from the potential for sneaky bugs and bloat attack. So the "feel" is just one of "keep a careful eye on the potential problems and then they won't creep up and bite you". It's not to the "ewww, don't let that in here" level or anything.
:-)
Although moving forward... that ties in a bit with some stuff Ted and Ishmal were talking about. It turns out that there are certain things in ODF output that would be best solved by finishing the DOM work for extensions and hooking things in live. Would the graphing parts, or specifically anything involving BOOST, be good candidates for ending up on the other side of our "next gen extensions" interface?
I know Ted would love us to get more work done on it, and I think there are several areas and features that could benefit from it. I'd *think* that getting things to the state to allow that graphing to be done as an extension but with all first-class-citizen abilities ties in to our long term goal of getting to that general architecture.
