Correctly I have understood, what project development is stopped in
2009 and there are no plans for development?

That is the same conclusion I have.
However, this is an open source project. There is nothing to stop
people from forking the code and continue development.

And at least in my case, the last release is pretty much feature-complete. The codebase is also very accessible and easy to extend where necessary.

Hi all,
As you noticed - and said myself before in older threads - I don't
have much time nor interest for JODConverter these days, and I'm the
only developer. It's not impossible that I'll resume work on it at
some point, but pretty unlikely at present. The old SourceForge.net
page - http://sourceforge.net/projects/jodconverter/ - reminds me that
I started this project back in 2003. That's a looong time ago. :-)
If anybody is interested in becoming the new maintainer please do come
forward. But you'll need to prove to me that you know the project well
and have ideas on how to developer it further, start contributing as a
member first, and only after a while I may appoint you as the new
maintainer. (There are students out there interested in "owning" an
open source project just to impress their teachers. ;-)
Another idea I had was to contribute the code back to the
OpenOffice.org project, but there's too much uncertainty now after the
Oracle acquisition and the LibreOffice fork.
Kind regards
Mirko

HI Mirko,
I think as you see it from comments some people like are interested
and we would like to continue with this. For me I would like to
contribute. So I will go through the code and understand. Then I hope
to contribute. It is a wonderful tool I think.
Regards Richard Gathogo.

Hi Mirko.
I'll like to contribute a little. I would like to start with ISSUE 52
as this is the one I want my self.
Would you like patches for it, or is it easier for you if I get write
access, and create a branch and work on the issue there?
Also, if you could point to some external/other documentation which
you should know about before starting as a contributor or talking over
as a maintainer, please provide this as well.
I am thinking about OpenOffice.org / LibreOffice specific
documentation.
Regards
Shervin

Hi Shervin,
Thanks for offering to contribute. Since you mention one specific
issue to start with, I'd say please create a patch and attach it to
that issue. If you propose more changes later on I'll be happy to give
you svn access.
As for OpenOffice.org documentation you can have a look at
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/OpenOffice.org_Developers_Guide
http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/module-ix.html
and the huge and horrible OOo source code. :)
Kind regards
Mirko

Hi Mirko.
Thank you for the information. I will create a patch.
However, some recent events makes me unavailable the next 3 months.
I will have to delay this until then.

On a not-entirely-unrelated issue, has anybody seen this announcement from Oracle?

Really interesting. Thanks for sharing this Brian.
Was anyone able to download the software?
I've been searching the web for a while with no luck.
