[11:28] <ericb2> mba_: why not present the begining today. Say a 30 min max presentation ?

[11:29] <mba_> I can do that. I will give a brief overview of what I could talk about.

[11:29] <ericb2> mba_: thank you :)

[11:29] <mba_> So, let's start.

[11:29] <FelixZ> mba_: Thanks

[11:30] <mba_> First of all, the Framework module is very privileged - because it is largely documented in our DevGuide.

[11:31] <mba_> If you look on the coarse diagram in our wiki ( http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Framework ) you can see what the Framework basically is meant to do

[11:32] <mba_> It cares for the general managing of documents, task windows, the (high level) file handling, and more.

[11:32] <mba_> An important part of the Framework also is Embedding. But as I consider this to be "advanced", I will not go into details there.

[11:33] <mba_> If you are a macro developer or anybody else using OOo API you ususally will start with Framework API calls before you can do anything further.

[11:33] <mba_> Quite often this is the XDesktop::loadComponentFromURL method
