I hope to be fully functionnal again in one or two weeks. Currently,
I'm facing some health
problems (that's why I cancelled my talk at FOSDEM), but I really want
to help for KWord 2.
The problem for OpenDocument is about testing real things. In
september I was reaching
quite good results, but the recent refactoring broke quite a lot of things...
Thanks to a blog post, I gathered a lot of real world documents,
showing interesting bugs
from Abiword or old OpenOffice pre-2.0 release...
But for the unit tests, it could be interesting to use the ODF test
suite, but I have no idea
about how to check the results... Compare the QTextDocument structure
? I fear it's gonna
be a lot of work...
