Re: future of OpenOffice

Toki, I'm very glad to hear SOMEBODY has imagination! :) It seems we've had quite a number of people coming here lately (like a professor someplace is sending them to get involved in open source) to state they want to get involved. I hope they and their professors are taking notes from your

Hi Chuck I'm a simple user so the code base and license are completely irrelevant to me. What IS relevant is the way the software works. So, please, can you tell me half a dozen things that LO can do that OO cannot do? There are in fact a few useful features in LO that AOO does not have:

Re: future of OpenOffice

For the average user, the functional differences are irrelevant. More specifically, most people use only a fraction of the capabilities. LO offered DOCX support before AOO, and that was a difference noticeable to most users. For the hard core devoted follower, there are certainly

Writing a list of the top 100 defects that are easy and YOU would like fixed IS the Apache Way. You can suggest and help. What is not the Apache Way is to force others. All the best! Regards, Dave Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 13, 2017, at 7:09 PM, toki wrote: > >>

Community building: give our User a chance to contribute!

Hi at all If we compare AOO to day with the good old OpenOffice.org Project in 2006, we have now a tiny community. Well, we will be able to maintain the project, make some bugfix and maybe some features too. But we will never track down the work who is in our issue tracker. But

Hi - If support for Microsoft Office formats is desired and Java is not a problem then Apache has a 15 year old project called Apache POI. Also, Apache ODFToolkit is sitting in the Incubator for 5.5 years now with one developer - Svante. Conversion between ODF and OOXML is the only way to

Re: future of OpenOffice

Hello guys. It stays as it is. Currently a merge is not possible. I assume this request is not taken seriously on the LO side, since most information we had in this discussion is pointing out the differences of both sister projects and not advocate the things they share. If anyone really wants to

Reporting broken download link

Hello, Hope it's not me doing anything daft but I have downloaded Open Office at home about 12 months ago for my daughter to try and I was trying to download a version to try out at work just now. Using the web page below (see first screen shot) I click on the Download Full Installation but I

What is the oldest Linux that AOO can run on? Is there a policy wrt baseline libraries/distro release?

I wonder what are the older Linux version that AOO-current (whatever is the latest version) will run on? I'm not concerned too much about kernel but glibc which is a common cause of hassles. And I'm trying to create a VM with the oldest possible, still supported Linux version, with AOO on it.

Re: future of OpenOffice

Thank you, Jonathon, for giving us something specific. I get so weary of LO people (and most of the media world it seems) spouting how much better LO is but I fail to see it in my use cases. Most of what you have pointed out is not applicable to the vast majority of users I would guess. I keep
