------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Apr 4 23:18:47 +0000 2008 ------- mba: "I think a lot of people that write comments here are making a fundamental mistake. The mere fact that we never implemented that feature does not mean that we don't think it is important." That is <u>exactly</u> the message that we got for more than four years. The <u>only</u> responses (see above) that ever came from the development team was that there was no need for this feature. End of response. Otherwise silence. It has never been on the roadmap that anyone can tell (although the site reorganizations have made it practically impossible to find things like roadmaps, so who knows?) "I can say that at least for the time where I have to honor to be the Project Lead (starting in November 2006). In this time we have implemented the centered view and the multiple page view and we started with the multiple layout refactoring. This is a quite huge investment in that area if you consider that we also had to do many other things (ODF1.2, Word XML import filter, many bug fixing etc. etc.)." And again, what we heard from you wasn't "this is a high priority," it was "this is going to be difficult." Now, you may have <u>meant</u> that as "we are taking this seriously, but it will take some time." However, please understand that in the context of six-plus years of history it came across as "so we aren't going to waste effort on something that's so unimportant." This month is really the first time (on the eve of the issue's sixth anniversary) that we've gotten any signals from the dev team that this is anything other than a dead-on-arrival issue. Whatever discussions the dev team holds among themselves have not been visible to the rest of us (and outline view still isn't on the published to-dos at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/To-Dos.) So, thank you -- but try to understand the frustration rather than just slamming us for complaining instead of coding. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
