| <p class="Header"><a name="mission"></a>Mission Statement</p> |
| <p>The Sets category of the Distribution sub-project exists to provide a space |
| for community members to gather customized files & installations. All members |
| of OpenOffice.org are encouraged to create customized installations. Although |
| there will be standard customizations, there will be no limit as to how many |
| we can create. The project will aim to provide scripts to create the customized |
| downloads.</p> |
| <p class="Header"><a name="explanation"></a>Explanation</p> |
| <p>Customized downloads will also be known as sets. The 3 standard sets will |
| be: Minimum, Express, Maximum. They will be abbreviated as: Min, E, Max. In |
| the file list @ the bottom of the screen, you should be able to see file names |
| that start with: OOoMin, OOoE, OOoMax. All 3 sets have the advantage of being |
| compressed with bz2, which means shorter downloads, than the regular install |
| binaries.</p> |
| <p>In the following table, you should be able to find a description of what is & is |
| not in each of the 3 sets, as well as the benefits. We try to make it as easy |
| as possible for you to decide which is best for you.</p> |

| <td>This has as few files as possible. It contains only that which is needed |
| to allow the user to run Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math, & Basic. The |
| galleries will be empty. There are no templates, no images, no sound files, |
| no help files & no filters. This is ideal for people who wish to create |
| a new customization, starting with only the base system. This has been |
| compressed with bz2, which means a shorter download.</td> |

| <td>This has all the features of Minimum, but has the templates, images, |
| sound files, & help files. There are no filters. This is ideal for most |
| people who aren't sure what they need, & will be only working on OOo documents. |

| <td>OOo Maximum</td> |
| <td>This has all the features & benefits that a standard OOo download could |
| contain. It is better than a standard download, because it is easier to |
| install. You just have to unpack it, & run the regular binary called "soffice". |

| To aid you in your decision making, we offer the following information as a reference |
| for how big the regular downloads are for installing. In other words, these are |
| the approxiamate file sizes that you would normally |
| need to download.<br> |
| Windows: approx. 60 MB<br> |
| Linux: approx. 74 MB<br> |
| Solaris (S): approx. 81 MB |
| <p class="Header"><a name="participate"></a>How to Participate</p> |
| <p>First, subscribe to our developers list by going <a href="/servlets/ProjectMailingListList">here</a>, |
| and clicking "Subscribe" under the first list mentioned.</p> |
| <p>Next, please scan the archive of our discuss list to catch up on what's been |
| discussed so far, by going <a href="/servlets/SummarizeList?listName=dev">here</a>.</p> |
| <p>Then, you might consider introducing yourself, letting us know how you found |
| out about the project, what your interest is, and anything else you care to |
| share.</p> |
| <p>The tools used to create the sets are the environment package & the script |
| package. For the most part, the environment package is complete, & there probably |
| won't be anymore development with it. It consists of directories, documentation, |
| a few misc. scripts & configuration files for customizing OOo installs. The |
| script is supposed to be downloaded & unpacked in the main environment directory. |
| The environment & the script were deliberately kept in seperate packages. This |
| done so that when the script is upgraded, the directories wouldn't have to |
| be emptied out of the customized files just for the sake of packaging the tools. |
| The environment package also includes a couple of autoconf files that are necessary |
| for executing the script. To know which script is required for which environment, |
| you just have to look @ the first number of the version. @ the time of writing, |
| the environment package is 1.0, & the script is 1.5. Therefore the script will |
| work with the environment, because they both start with 1.*. Even though the |
| second number is 0 & 5, they should still compatible. There will be better |
| documentation sometime later.</p> |
