One opens an API as a business development initiative, and so evaluating its success should be based on how it performs in that context.

Determining the colour contrast between foreground and background colours is a time consuming task, but is greatly aided by colour contrast analysers. The problem with colour contrast analysers is that they don't automatically go through all of the possible colour combinations in a document; instead, it requires a judgement call by the person evaluating the page to decide whether colour combinations look like they may be problematic, and then to enter those colours into a colour contrast analyser.

Why The GORB? Help us build a better world! The GORB is an online community of professionals where real life reputations are be earned and viewed by others. We accomplish this by collecting personal and professional opinions from our members and use them to drive the dynamic GORB Scoring System. Our unique social network allows members to reveal, discipline and reward the good and bad conduct of others while openly evaluating each others online reputation. Our Marketplace Very few people escape this truth. The professional marketplace in general is inefficient when it comes to distributing information about a person's reputation. Many of us often make daily decisions based on relatively few inputs, some which are poorly validated. When these decisions begin to form the basis for our perceptions about others that we don't know, it should be no surprise that there's a hit-and-miss nature to this "off-line" system! On the other hand, many of us also use people that we know very well as references to gather information and make decisions about others. The GORB aims to leverge reliable professional references and personal opinions to provide a balanced and widely adopted "online" rating system, that allows us to gauge the reputations of one another. Accountability The GORB combines anonymity with accountability. If you provide an anonymous opinion about another person, and if the community around that person accepts your opinion as fair and balanced, then your reputation as a fair and objective person will be enhanced. However, if you offer an opinion that is too positive or too negative, and the community rejects it, your reputation will suffer. With our system, the truth will come out as opinions accumulate and are validated over time. We believe that most of us will have a positive score, but we also realize that sometimes it's harder to identify someone with a good reputation than it is to come across someone with a bad one. At The GORB, we'd like to change that! * Why GORB

The API project provides an entry point in the world of OpenOffice.org from a developers perspective. OpenOffice.org offers a language independent application programming interface (API) which allows to program the office in different programming languages (e.g. C , Java, Python, CLI, StarBasic, JavaScript, OLE). It allows to use OpenOffice.org as service provider in other applications, extend it with new functionality or simply customize and control OpenOffice.org. The popularity of the standardized (OASIS and ISO/IEC 26300) Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) is growing. This also drives the popularity of OpenOffice.org office in general. Corporate users often demand the integration of office productivity into existing workflows and applications. They also often require additional functionality or special customizations of the existing features. And that is one of the main goals of the API project. Provide the possiblitly to customize or control the office that it fits well in your existing environment or fullfill your special requirements. Software Development Kit SDK logo There is also a Software Development Kit (SDK) available which is an add-on for an existing OpenOffice.org. It provides the necessary tools and documentation for programming the OpenOffice.org APIs and creating your own extensions (UNO components) for OpenOffice.org. If you are interested in OpenOffice.org programming, you can download the SDK. The OpenOffice.org API is based on UNO (Universal Network Objects) and consists of a wide range of interfaces defined in a Corba-like IDL. While the component technology determines how the components or applications communicate with each other and how the API is accessed from specific programming languages, the OpenOffice.org API defines the interface for accessing office functionality independently from certain programming languages. Get a first impression of the design goals or get a detailed description of the OpenOffice.org API and their concepts from the Developer's Guide and/or in the IDL reference. Code Snippets: If you search a quick answer to any API related question please visit our Code Snippet Base. And if you like this kind of knowledge base you are welcome to help us to improve and to extend this code snippet collection (see how to contribute). What's new The ease of use of an API depends firstly on the API itself and secondly how well it is supported by development tools. We have started two projects to provide better tools support for the OpenOffice.org API in the two main open source Java development IDEs NetBeans and Eclipse. You can find more detailed information about the NetBeans integration in the OO wiki where you can also download the plugin. Visit OpenOffice.org & Eclipse for information about the Eclipse plugin. We have started an API Wiki where we will provide additional information in the future. The OO.org Wiki is growing fast and in fact of the easy access (instead of cvs) we will provide more and more information there. Currently we are evaluating the transmission of the Developer's Guide into the Wiki to open the guide for translation and for faster and easier writing of new or changing of existing chapters. Stay tuned for further announcments of this!

The CalDAV specification has been under development for a few years now, and at the same time I have seen increasing pressure from clients to provide a solution to their shared calendaring problems. In evaluating the possibilities for shared calendaring, there are a number of possible approaches, but I have elected to follow the path of implementing CalDAV because I believe it is a good specification and that it will in due course gain client implementations and provide the richest user experience through those client implementations. Goals CalDAV is a client-server protocol specific to managing and reporting on collections of calendar resources. As such, my intentions in developing this application are as follows: * Simplicity of Prerequisites * Simplicity of Setup * Simplicity of Operation * Web-based Administration
