Hi :) Yes, i think the idea is to test the site's uploading process to see if it's reasonably easy for people to use.  If your templates and Extensions have not been through beta-testing yet then it might be good to write that in the description or as a comment or something so that when

Hi :) People have said that in order to fix the current bugs in Base there is going to involve improving and adding to the java that is used.  This is going to be quite confusing and messy because to take Base forwards we need to reduce the amount of java overall.  If we could get enough devs

Tom, who gets to upload all the 180+ dictionaries that are out there [and on the LibreOffice-NA.US online version of its DVDs]? I see that there are the 4 French, an Italian, a Russian, plus maybe a few more when you look at all of the extensions online the list. You get only the French

Hi :) Hopefully someone might find a way of doing that from 1 server (OOo's?) to another (LO's) rather than having to download to a desktop machine and then re-upload.  Apparently right now there is no good way of doing bulk uploads/transfers but maybe after the site has been beta-tested?  I

Hi :) Ok, there seems to be several different issues floating around about Base.  Who is the questionnaire going to be filled in by?  Are we going to manage to get people that don't use LibreOffice because there is no database program?  I think that is the group that would give us the best

[libreoffice-marketing] Base - Backends bidding war?

Hi :) I think there is an opportunity here.  Effectively whichever back-end gets chosen will be getting a big publicity scoop.  Even the runners-up could benefit from having tighter integration with Base and a stack of free publicity from the press as they hear about the competition /

Well since OOo's Extension site is offline, last time I checked, someone could take them from the LibreOffice-NA.US domain and upload them to LO's Extension site. Still, there should be a category called Dictionaries. That would make it easier for people to find them. Language Tools or

Hi :) Early concept.  A lot of room for tweaking.  Shorter and faster is more fun and exciting.  LO is dynamic and responsive.  More than 2 or 3 months might look like we are trying to take advantage.  Also the competition is not about getting everything 100% working.  Whoever won would
