Re: New panel for Dia (a partnership proposal)

[Michael Ross <michael e ross gmail com>]

Hello Sergey,

Seems few of the many contributors to Dia are watching the list today.  I can offer an incomplete, but useful answer immediately, others can fill in details.

One of the main features of Dia is that the "panels" (called sheets in Dia talk) can be made by assembling a group of shapes that are drawn by the user, and included by anyone into the shape repository (if you follow the rules).  

The open source format also allows you to participate in developing the underlying function of Dia itself if you have the skill and inclination.  

You can create a shape by Exporting (as opposed to Saving As) your Dia as a Dia shape.  There are details to learn like how to size the shapes with which the help files and the forum will help.

Dear Sirs.

My name is Sergey Chernouhov. I am the author of CH-1 notation for
business process modelling.

I shall consider it a great honour if a panel containing symbols of
CH-1 notation may be included in Dia.

The basic data on CH-1 notation are here:
http://ch1-notation.livejournal.com/ (including links to CH-1
Specifications at Google Docs, both in English and in Russian, pdf
format). The Specifications can be also sent by e-mail on your demand.

Would you be so kind to tell me, whom can I contact to for it?

Looking forward to hearing from you,

PS    By the way, commercial add-on software may be also possible
later on. I mean a Text Generator – an ad-on for generating text
documents basing on diagrams of a process. As for me, I prefer to
write documents myself, but some people prefer to edit version
generated by computer. I know, there are some similar solutions, but I
suppose, in the case of CH-1 using, generated documents may have more
“human language” and less “Computer accent”. I have a view how to
build such Text Generator basing on CH-1 notation. I’ll be very
pleased to talk about it if you are interested in it.

Yours faithfully, Sergey Chernouhov
