#odftoolkit Meeting

I attended my first IRC meeting at #odftoolkit. Not many turned up due to a public holiday. But discussed few things with Bernd Eilers regarding OdtToText.java

OdtToText2.java

Currently working on a re-write of OdtToText.java called as OdtToText2.java, by LO.This will be upwardly compatible as it uses the new classes TextDocument, Body, ElementFactory, etc

Test Case for TextDocument.java

I successfully wrote a Test Case(TextDocumentTest.java) for TextDocument.java. It is not yet committed to the CVS as yet.

Project Membership Confirmed

I am now a official member of the ODF Toolkit Project. Current Role is “Observer“. However I expect a upgrade to a “Developer” soon.
