##(see the SpecSpec for an explanation) * '''Launchpad Entry''': https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/document-templates-generator * '''Created''': <> by [[joelbryan| Joel Bryan Juliano]] * '''Contributors''': [[joelbryan| Joel Bryan Juliano]] * '''Packages affected''': $HOME/Templates, OpenOffice.org, GIMP, Gedit == Summary == The software aims to provide translated documents under $HOME/Templates, based on localecode and software installed. == Rationale == GNOME have the functionality to create new documents based on templates. The feature is available via right-click action and "Create Document". However, the functionality is not well used because the Templates directory with the documents inside it, does not exist by default. == Use cases == * Grandpa just used Ubuntu, and would like to create a document with the same thing he does in Windows. He use and select "Create Documents > OpenOffice.org Spreadsheet". == Scope == The application will query the localecode the user currently use and based on it, a set of predefined translation for that particular localecode will be used for the Template document names. The document viewer must exists in order for the Template documents to be created. == Design == The names will be based on the localecode. If the localecode isn't included yet, a fallback value is used. Also, application will be checked if it exist. If no application for a particular document is installed, the Templates document will not be created. == Implementation == === Code === [[attachment:templates-generator-0.1.tar.gz]] This is the first release, fully functional, just run ./templates-generator and it will create the Templates documents based on your locale and application installed. === Data preservation and migration === If the Templates directory already exists, the files will not be overwritten. == Outstanding issues == == BoF agenda and discussion == ---- CategorySpec
