[tdf-projects]common effort: creating replacement for Oracle Report Builder

[PYS]

Hello

I'm interested in this project.

New to this list I introduce myself briefly:
- User since version 1.1.4
- Registered (and active member) on the qa-test@fr list since 2006
- Registered (and active member) on the discuss@fr.libreoffice.org list
- Registered (and active member) on the user@fr.libreoffice.org list
- Active member on the francophone forum (writer of 6 tutorials for Base,
3 for Writer, 4 for Calc, 2 "all modules" ; about 11,000 messages posted,
including almost 2,000 in the Base section, approximately 64% for this section )
- and... I don't speak very good english...

My contributions would be modest (limited to my abilities):
- help identify needs
- test the proposed solutions

In addition to the already requirements mentioned, we have to cover at least the
features for which we have today no alternative but to use report builder :

- Ability to generate a report containing "image controls" : maiIing provides
no ways for that.
- Grouping and aggregation functions
- Printing and / or conditional formatting

Best regards
Pierre-Yves

You're welcome! :o))
We're in incubation period. To be honest it's You and me up to now.
Alexander Thurgood also wanted to join, but didn't arrive yet.

So again, we are two ;o))

That all sounds good and might help start up.

I myself are in no ways experienced Base user but like to play with data
base toys. :o))

As first step I thought to create a wiki page to point at when all the
crowds are rolling up.

What do You think?

Some other users (fr-discuss) would like improvements to the mailing so it
manages image controls. May be they could join us.

Jean-Baptiste has already provided the link to your message and I will also
give it again.

If the idea is to build on existing functionality (writer / calc) it might
be necessary to ensure that no there is no project (dev) to radical changes
in this area (I think especially to the mailing) ?

You speak of mail-merge here?

The devs are informed and didn't express any concerns.

Maybe it's a good Idea to keep them informed, when we get first results.

I created a very basic starting point.
