Either way is OK for me. I just want to
contribute the code quickly. :-)
Let me give my list first. We started this work mid of last year. Some work are based on OpenOffice code, while some are new. I list the new items as below. We may still need some time to migrate to new code base. I will soon send the UI related specification to user experience mail list.
-- New sidebar UI: Users can easily assign fields in sidebar by only drag and drop anytime to change the table structure and access the commands easily.
-- Empty table, default table style, and auto-resize: since we still do not support the AutoFormat, we improved the user experience by providing the instructions on empty table, well-defined table style by default, and also automatically resize the width when the table is created.
-- Duplicate items: users can drag the same fields multiple times, and set different field settings.
-- Cache/buffer support: MS Excel has this feature. With this, even the data source is deleted, the DataPilot table can still be updated.
-- Performance: roughly ~40% improvement on generating table and fields operation
-- Field items show/hide UI panel: provide a new filter panel to show/hide items easily. Users can also set Top N in this panel.
Best Regards,
Helen Yue

I have to disagree here. If IBM wants to contribute their changes,
that's great and should be done right away, without waiting for go-oo
changes that are being held back instead of contributed.
Kohei, if you do your changes outside of openoffice.org, there's always
the risk of duplicated work. Remember the solver? It's your decision,
but don't try to inflict the same on others.
Helen, performance is on my agenda anyway, so we can work together on
that very quickly. For UI changes, we have to involve the User
Experience community. It would be best if we have a summary of the UI
changes that we can discuss on the discuss@... list.
