	Oh - incidentally; the KDE guys already have quite a nice test suite
here:

	svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/tests/kofficetests/

	Warning: quite big ;-)

	I suggest we work with them to grow that - they seemed open to that. We
could also use git-svn to move / mirror and add to it on
freedesktop.org.

	Let me know if I should create a new repository for that.

	It'd would also be great to have some people to look through the tests
to see what (if anything) breaks us, and/or we are missing, and/or do
the shell instrumentation to simply load, save, and close all of those
files :-)

	In fact - this is a really useful test; I ran an soffice under gdb, and
then:

for a in `find /opt/OpenOffice/kofficetests/interoperability -type f |  grep -v '\.svn/'`; do ./soffice $a; sleep 1; done

	It failed after only a handful of documents on the attached with:

#0  0xabd83b95 in writerfilter::dmapper::DomainMapper_Impl::finishParagraph(boost::shared_ptr<writerfilter::dmapper::PropertyMap>) ()
   from /data/opt/OOInstall/program/../basis-link/program/libwriterfilterli.so
#1  0xabd6e446 in writerfilter::dmapper::DomainMapper::utext(unsigned char const*, unsigned int) () from /data/opt/OOInstall/program/../basis-link/program/libwriterfilterli.so
#2  0xabcc17c6 in writerfilter::ooxml::OOXMLFastContextHandler::endOfParagraph() () from /data/opt/OOInstall/program/../basis-link/program/libwriterfilterli.so
#3  0xabc1fefd in writerfilter::ooxml::OOXMLFactory_wml::endAction(writerfilter::ooxml::OOXMLFastContextHandler*) ()
   from /data/opt/OOInstall/program/../basis-link/program/libwriterfilterli.so
#4  0xabca302d in writerfilter::ooxml::OOXMLFactory::endAction(writerfilter::ooxml::OOXMLFastContextHandler*, long) ()
   from /data/opt/OOInstall/program/../basis-link/program/libwriterfilterli.so
#5  0xabcbda5a in writerfilter::ooxml::OOXMLFastContextHandler::lcl_endFastElement(long) () from /data/opt/OOInstall/program/../basis-link/program/libwriterfilterli.so
#6  0xabcbd45f in writerfilter::ooxml::OOXMLFastContextHandler::endFastElement(long) () from /data/opt/OOInstall/program/../basis-link/program/libwriterfilterli.so
#7  0xabf86c65 in sax_fastparser::FastSaxParser::callbackEndElement(char const*) () from /data/opt/OOInstall/program/../basis-link/program/fastsax.uno.so

	So ... I am certain, that simply building a large collection of
documents exercising our various features, and then loading / saving /
closing them all in a big long churning run every now and then would
catch a ton of bugs for us :-)

	Any volunteers to play with it ?

	Thanks,

		Michael.
