I would like to work on the idea improving the masterpages for allowing editable text frames as a student for GSoC 2009.I feel that editing the masterpages should be made more flexible.
These are the ideas I feel to work upon which would help to have better Masterpages :
1.Preview of Masterpage being applied
It is an added advantage if a 'preview' is available in the "Apply Master Page"
dialogue box that appears on doing Page -> Apply Master Page which will show how the current page would look if a selected masterpage is applied or either the masterpage that one tries to apply on it.
It would be easier to select a masterpage for applying if the available masterpages
are listed under the Page option in the menu bar.
3.Options for Editing Masterpages efficiently
For this purpose, there is a listing of the masterpage(s) used in the current page
(or the set of pages in the present work), as the case maybe.It also includes an option to edit the objects in the masterpage applied on the current page as and when required and also an option to revert back to the original masterpage whenever needed. To achieve this there should be a dialogue box,which would appear on clicking on the current-applied masterpage one wishes to edit, which will be containing the objects on the masterpage with options to edit/remove them temporarily and apply it to the current page without modifying the actual masterpage.
