FW: Food for Thought

This was posted on the dev@ openoffice.apache.org, a list some of you should be 
on even though documentation-related discussions are not that often.  The dev@ 
list is the list of record for certain matters.

The list post is something for our specialized lists to understand about how 
work gets done on the Apache OpenOffice project,

Food for thought: 

The Apache OpenOffice project, and other Apache projects, are more like 
do-ocracies than any other form of project governance.  The distinct karma for 
committers and also PMC members is fundamentally related to the Foundation 
requirements concerning IP provenance of project code bases and other 
artifacts, although that is often referred to as a meritocracy arrangement.  

For example, no one on the Apache OpenOffice project has executive authority, 
although there are particular accountabilities for committers, PMC members, and 
the PMC Chair (who is an officer of the Foundation).

For another example, there are no assignments to give out or ways other than 
suggestion and recommendation to direct effort.  This is probably what is most 
confusing to outsiders and also to the many advocates for AOO who would like to 
see particular expressed needs met.

Thesaurus US - 752 synonyms with duplicate meanings

[Marco A.G.Pinto]

Hello!

Today I have finished coding a bit more of my software Proofing Tool GUI.

I have tested the new "unduplicate simple meanings" on the US thesaurus 
and it found duplicated meanings in 752 synonyms:



Not sure if I should convert the thesaurus to UTF-8 and then remove the 
duplicates... what do you suggest?


I am exhausted and tomorrow I will try to resume the coding and attempt 
to release an official build of PTG for Windows and Linux on Friday.


The good news is that I have fixed the pause issue in Linux by 
converting the remaining of the code into dynamic arrays (the thesaurus 
part) instead of loading all synonyms into the ListIconGadget. I have 
been postponing this for a couple of years or so but I have finally done 
it (it took a long time because I would have to make changes all over 
the code).


Just to share the news!

Thanks for your time!

Kind regards,
  >Marco A.G.Pinto

Cut-and-paste error.  

This was posted on the dev@ openoffice.apache.org, a list some of you should be

list of record for certain matters.  

It is valuable for someone on the QA list to gate-keep in both directions as 
necessary to have folks up-to-date wherever they prefer to subscribe.
