Best, Dave Sent from my iPhone Dave, Because we use the default PDFA-1 to create the PDF files from OpenOffice, it is not unusual to have chapter files over 5MB. The real problem comes in when we create the PDF for the complete book. I do have PDF compression software to compress them.Currently the full book for the Getting Started Guide is 38MB. I was able to compress that down to 12.7MB. Considering that the other guides full book files may be larger, at this point I believe a 20MB limit is a good compromise. How does this sound to you?

A Short History on the Term "Bug"
I came across this bit of trivia on a news group I follow: PS --- don't you love the term "bug". Where I used to work, they had the late Grace Murray Hopper in to give us a talk every few years. One of her anecdotes of the early days was how the term came about. One time a "down" was caused by an insect getting into the machine and causing a short. Could just picture the glee of those people as youngsters as they attached the specimen* and pages and pages about its life cycle, etc. to the hated "problem report" they were required to submit for every "down" as a sort of protest. So naturally, the next time they came over with a report on a down the response was "OK, what kind of a bug was it this time". * They had sent over to the Smithsonian for an ID and as much information about it as possible, so they had a LOT of pages to append.

Re: Templates Website Failure
Andrea Pescetti wrote: On 18/08/22 Dave wrote: But I would suggest a simpler approach now: we can try and configure an account to be used for sending mail (even a GMail account will do) and update the site configuration to use GMail as SMTP. And then, if it works, we replace it with a more reasonable sender, like an apache.org address. ... Configuring a sending account seems like a reasonable idea. Yes, I am more than happy to help out with any necessary testing. It took many attempts but I believe it works now. A simple way to test it is to register a new user at https://extensions.openoffice.org/en/user/register or request a password reset mail (that you can simply ignore) at https://extensions.openoffice.org/en/user/password Some more details: - I've only fixed Extensions so far, but Templates should be identical - I tried with a GMail account created to this purpose, but it didn't work: while I enabled POP/IMAP (and thus SMTP, I assume) in the GMail settings, the site cannot connect to it. Port 465 is blocked on the SourceForge side it seems, so port 587 with STARTTLS is the only viable option; it connects, but for some reason GMail refuses credentials; maybe websites must use the GMail API (which would be an issue, as the application doesn't support it) to connect to GMail? Feedback welcome if someone has already configured GMail SMTP successfully on a website. - Then I simply created an account on a personally-owned SMTP server and retried, with port 587 and STARTTLS. This worked for me. This is the currently configured option, so if you are testing this is the one you will test. - Then I briefly tried with my ASF credentials and the ASF mail server mail-relay.apache.org still 587/STARTTLS. It worked! But of course I cannot leave my credentials in the site configuration so I reverted it to the (working) option above. Suggested steps forward: 1) We get confirmation that this is fixed not only for me 2) Then I can apply the same fix to Templates and have a fix in place, where the only drawback is that it uses my server 3) Then I would create a new issue like the abandoned https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-21334 so that INFRA can advise on whether we have a way to use the ASF mail server but without storing personal credentials.

Is the enclosed still true for AOO 4.1.x Impress
The Chapter on Impress in the Getting Started Guide contains the following note for using media files in Linix based systems: In Linux-based systems such as Ubuntu, media files do not work straight out of the box. You need to download the Java Media Framework API (JMF) and add the path to jmf.jar to the Class Path in Tools > Options > OpenOffice > Java. Is this still true for 4.1.x versions of AOO.

I think that would be a good idea Matthias. My only concern would be that we "Publish" them and not "Release" them. As to the methadology used that should probably be discussed as we get closer to actually getting the Getting Started Guide ready to go. Considering I had to do a search to figure out what a PWA was, I might not be the best person to ask about that.

This could be an excellent solution. The one caveat is that it should be well researched so that we do do not again fall into the trap of UC (Unintended Consequences].This is in no way intended as criticism of the excellent work that went into solving this security problem and getting the Release out in a timely manner. The UC trap is always waiting to ambush anybody in any walk of life. > > 3- add a generic box "don't ask any more" on the warning window, that > disables _any_ future warnings; Again I believe that this could cause problems for the non-technical user getting frustrated and using it, thus negating the reason for the check. . > > 4- add a generic box "don't ask any more" on the warning window, that > disables future warnings for the _protocol of the current link_ (for > example all http:// or ftp:// or uno: links); > > 5- add a generic box "don't ask any more" on the warning window, that > disables future warnings for the _target of the current link_ (for > example ".uno:Reload" or "http://server.com/document.html;); > > 6- any other ideas worth discussing? > > Best regards. > >> On 04.05.21 16:05, k...@kshelton.plus.com wrote: >>> For some years I've had a Reload button in my Calc document to avoid having >>> to use the File menu.

Re: AOO 4.1.10 Release Notes - what about "feedback"?

Version 4.0 was a major release with big enhancements, top of the list was the introduction of the side bar. In the context of a major Release the statements that you reference made sense as it was a major change to the UI. Somewhere between 4.0.0 and 4.0.1 I developed the Template the we currently use to generate release notes to give a consistent look and feel as to where to find pertinent information. I believe the information is covered, just in other sections of the notes. However I am always open to suggestions on what could be added or changed. Regards Keith > > Am Sa., 24.

As for the Template, it has been available as a Space Template on the cwiki, and has been used as the basis of the Release Notes since Version 4.0.1 I believe. The Template is available as a Space Template and can be invoked by clicking the create button on the cwiki and looking for the Release Notes template. Now that I think about it I will promote it so that it shows as the top template in the Space. It basically has the boilerplate text for the Note and asks you to for the new version, previous version and what type of release and stores those and inserts them where needed in the Note.
