RE: [board-discuss] Open letter for revive LOOL, add your +1 if you agree
Hi everyone! Penny here, on the Spanish Documentation Team we mostly like the idea of reopening that project, taking into account two things: First, we´d like to maintain the TDF spirit about keeping things public and open. And second, we agree to try it for a trial period and check if this project is really interesting or not for the general public (we can easily verify this two ways, with the amount of programmers who commit to boost the program, and with the response of the general public by using the program). We want to reach as many people as possible and provide them with a free and open source tool, but we are also concious of the amount of work that could imply. So let´s keep updated and see how it works. All the best, Penny [cid:2478206f-988f-4528-9fdd-3f92aa42ab90]

Re: [board-discuss] Open letter for revive LOOL, add your +1 if you agree
My ha'penneth below. Surely, the point of TDF is/was to foster community driven contributions by all ? If a languishing codebase was already there, and people are now prepared to update it and have a go at making something of it, shouldn't TDF be seen to be supporting such an initiative ? Reversing the decision to atticize LOOL would not be contrary to that aim, or am I missing something ?

Re: [board-discuss] Open letter for revive LOOL, add your +1 if you agree
-1 LOOL is just a UI flavor to me. It's nothing without the core and provides just one way to interact with the application (admittedly some special handling which might be important for many). I understand COOL (and any other implementations) as a win-win situation for TDF. If LibreOffice was even more focused on the core application, with for example a generic filter for MS Office and the opportunity to replace it with some always 100%-compatible alternative, the majority of users is still provided with a great office suite and the best document format - free of charge, open source, localized in all tongues... By making an application easy to extend we allow the ecosystem to grow, attract professional developers to work on the application, and (hopefully) make the application more stable (in fact, the expandability comes on some costs first). Collabora offers a free (yet unsupported) version for those who rely on browser interaction. From my experience it requires some expertise to set-up the environment and it is not suited for individuals anyway. Small and mid size companies should afford the IT administration and the subscription which includes support. Keep also in mind that LOOL has not received any major code contribution and is now way behind COOL. PS: I wonder who is addressed by the open letter and the request to vote. Please don't undermine the responsibility of the board. On the other hand, I appreciate to ask the community for opinions and take it as such. On 10.07.22 22:42, Daniel A.
