[Libreoffice] Ubuntu conference foo ...

Hi there,

        Read the notes from UDS in your blog; there are a few things there:

        a) themes (icons at least the rest comes from gtk+) are already
           a zip file - we could make that expandable by sniffing theme
           names from .zip files:
                + "first file is an un-compressed text file containing
                   just the name" eg. ;-)
                + extract & render that I guess in the combo.
                + bit of work I suppose

        b) gettext for translations
                + actually remarkably easy; we just need to load the
                  en_US strings from the default resource file, and
                  then - whack them through gettext
                + I -think- there was a floating patch for this in the
                  l10n community - that we could fairly easily apply
                  with some conditional: dead useful for translators
                 (knocks a key-id build dead I think).
                + of course, this will miss some things: help files,
                  misc. random XML files and so on but get most of it
                  done.

        Anyhow - glad the conf went well,

        HTH,

                Michael.
