| + | <!-- This section shows things we are currently evaluating. Though of course we do this because we would like to work on the stuff it doesn't mean that the outcome of our evaluation will be that we '''will''' do it in the next release or even anytime soon. It depends on the estimated effort (based on the outcome of the evaluation), the priority of the feature and the available development resources if and when these things get implemented. | ||

| + | == Improvements of language selection == | ||
| + | |||
| + | It is pretty obvious that changing the language of either the whole document or only parts of it is comparably awkward in Writer. There is also no visual control about the language of the currently selected text. We have received several issues about this and the result is now consolidated in three of them. | ||

| + | == Evaluation of additional views in Writer == | ||
| + | |||
| + | [[Writer_Views|Here]] is a first compilation about motivations and ideas for new views in Writer. More can found in the main issues about this topic. | ||

| + | == How to use page styles? == | ||
| + | |||
| + | There are some issues around functionality in OOo that needs to be implemented with page styles. The UI problems created by this are discussed [[Writer/page_styles|here]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | == Utilization of new Smart Tags API == | ||
| + | |||
| + | In OOo 2.2 we will have an API for Smart Tags that is already enabled in the build. It will stay inactive until libraries using this API as a service provider are installed. In the next time we will review the API and create some libraries. Of course as this work can be done as an extension new developers can work on this topic easily. Interested developers are welcome to contribute. In case you are interested please join us on our dev mailing list. More about the status quo can be found [[Smart_Tags|here]] | ||
