[Framework-Team] transforms

[Thierry Benita]

Hi,

A remark about transforms in Plone.

atReal did a piece of work about transforms, with AROfficeTransforms,
the last PastisSprint and some work in progress.
We also work close to Hanno on the transform engine since the sprint.

We are adding transforms to plone.transforms, but it looks like there is
a licence issue at some point because we sometime need to include some
code that is published under free licence (mostly GPL) but we don't own
the code, and it is therefore impossible to give that code to the
Foundation.

This is especially true for openoffice xslt transforms (that rely on a
modified xslt sheet from opendocumentfellowship) and windows transforms
that need to embeed binaries if we want them to be easy to install.

My proposal is to embeed AROfficeTransforms in the Plone bundle or
package. We may change the name if it is an issue.

This would provide a full solution for indexing and previews (other
proposal) out of the box without licence issue.

Thierry Benita.
