Dear community,
Hello Thorsten, hello all,
as announced during LibOCon, and subsequently discussed in the ESC,
here's the formal adoption proposal for the "WollMux" template / form
letter / mail merge engine / Java extension, from the City of Munich.
Reply-To: board-discuss please, unless there's technical questions to
discuss (for those, I copy the developer list).
I would like to ask some questions but I'm keeping the dev-list out for
not disturbing them.
@Thorsten, please, feel free to pull the dev list again in if you think
that their feedback is needed too.
My memory of WollMux is a bit rusty and I had a look at the source code
on GitHub[0].
# Topic: license
The license is "EUPL-1.1" but looking at some of the subfolders I found
for example also mentions to GNU LGPLv2 [1].
Did the ESC (or anyone else) make an analysis of the source code looking
for other licenses mentioned? Could it be possible to make use of the
REUSE[2] project started by FSFE?
In the potential move under the TDF umbrella, is there any plan to also
re-license it following the usual licenses of LibreOffice?
# Topic: naming and conventions
I'm aware that there's an ongoing translation from German to English.
In this translation and renaming, is there any plan/agreement to also
look at harmful and exclusionary language[3]?
For example, looking at the GitHub project the main branch is called
"master".
Some comments are also affected by a similar non inclusive writing like
for example here [4] where the comment states "the bookmarks aren't
deleted and the user is request to confirm, that he wants to create a"
and there's the assumption that the user can be only a male.
# Topic: pull requests and issues
## pull requests
As per today, there are 8 open pull requests[5] and some of them are in
German. Is there any plan to translate the content or close the PRs in
German and reopen new PRs in English?
Some of the existing pull requests use a tag "trac" but I could't find
any reference to this naming convention? Is this something private that
the mentioned maintainers from 2 organizations will take care of
document? Could it be possible to know more about those tags?
## issues
As per today, there are 14 open issues[6] and some of them are in
German. Like for the case of the pull requests, is there any plan to
translate the content or close the issues in German and reopen new
issues in English?
# Topic: security
The security policy[7] seems to be not defined. Which is the agreement
here? Are the two mentioned maintainers supposed to take over everything
or WollMux will also be covered by the LibreOffice security[8] policy?
With that amount of lines of code I suppose the ESC should have a clear
view of the status of the project.
The jenkinsfile is mentioning the integration with SonarQube[9] for the
the security scans, is there any plan to also move the SonarQube setup
under the TDF infra?
# Topic: localization
The proposal mentions the move of the localization to Weblate. There's
also an open issue intended for modernizing the localization environment
from "one config file" to .po files[10].
Which is the potential timeline for having the localization on Weblate?
Is there any ongoing discussion with the L10N team at LibreOffice?
Should the L10N community consider also WollMux as a priority project to
be translated with high priority like LibreOffice (UI, Help, Guides)?
# Topic: support
The main WollmMux website[11] has a link to a catalog on JoinUp[12]
that describes WollMux as an extension for OpenOffice. Is this just an
old catalog description or WollMux is really intended for working with
both LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice (and it will need to support
both?)
On which operating systems WollMux is suppose to be supported?
Thanks a lot for your feedback.
Happy hacking,
Marina
