More or less frequently people complain about OOo in respect to multi threading. Either because it is complicated to implement a service, or that there is only few documentation, or that the UNO API is not thread safe, or that it does not scale etc.

The OOo Threading Effort attempts to clean-up OOos threading model (how to use threads) and OOos threading architecture (where to use threads), while providing an overview, documentation and examples how and where threads are used in OOo.

The below tasks list gives a high level overview, of what needs to be done. Links to dedicated pages addressing the topics are going to be added while the project proceeds.

Current understanding of the topic lets us think, that the changes of OOo on behalf of the threading effort are going to be integrated early into the next major version (OOo 3), probably early in 2006.
