Hello, all,<br>
<br>
I'm a 4th year grad student in Chemistry at UNC. Several months ago, I
created an "open source" chemistry dictionary for word processors. I
just finished a major upgrade to the dictionary and hosted it at
chemistry-blog.com.
<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.chemistry-blog.com/2008/12/17/chemistry-dictionary-for-word-processors-version-20/">http://www.chemistry-blog.com/2008/12/17/chemistry-dictionary-for-word-processors-version-20/</a>
<br>
<br>
The dictionary is compatible with OOo, but one of the commenters noted
that my installation instructions are outdated. When I went live with
the first version of the dictionary, dictionaries were not extensions
for OpenOffice. The commenter indicated I should package an extension
and publish it in the repository.
<br>
<br>
I have no idea how to do that. I downloaded the sample description.xml
file and modified it. I think I did that right, but since I’m not
fluent in OOo, I wasn’t sure exactly what went where. I also made text
files for the license text, release notes, and description.
<br>
<br>
I'd like to get the dictionary packaged and in the repository sometime
soon... but I'm at the end of my ability. My first thought was to ask
the Carolina Open Source Initiative. They suggested I post my question
here.<br>
<br>
Anyway, would anyone mind taking a look at my description.xml file
(below) to see if I've done everything correctly there? Also, I don't
know what to do from here. How do I package it as an *.oxt file? And
how do I upload it to the repository? Any help from anyone would be
much appreciated.
<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for your help.<br>
<br>
