Der Lead der frankophonen Community hat Vorschläge unterbreitet, die ich Euch nicht vorenthalten möchte, zumal sie schon kontrovers diskutiert werden.
IMO würde die Realisierung dieser Vorschläge die GUI ehrlicher machen und es den Leuten, die Last des User-Supports tragen leichter machen, zu erklären, wozu OpenOffice.org wirklich in der Lage ist und wozu eben nicht. Dass darüber hinaus freie und offene Standards besser im Bewusstsein der Nutzer verbreitet würden, sehe auch ich als Vorteil an. Über Details kann und muss man sicher noch diskutieren - mir scheint jedenfalls die Richtung wirklich zu stimmen. Gruß Michael -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: OpenOffice.org and OpenDocument Format Datum: Thu, 15 Apr 2010 00:19:49 +0200 Von: Jean-Baptiste Faure <[email protected]> Antwort an: [email protected] Organisation: OpenOffice.org An: [email protected] Newsgruppen: gmane.comp.openoffice.general Hi all, Current discussions about ODF icons in OOo 3.2.1, let me to make my position more clear : 1/ I think that OpenDocument Format (ODF) is more important than the software used to edit the documents. 2/ Obviously OpenOffice.org (Project and software) support ODF very strongly and this support should be visible in all possible graphical elements of the software 3/ OpenOffice.org (software) should help, through its functionalities, the users to understand the importance of the question of the formats of its documents (data security, independence from the software and its editor) So I propose to: 1/ remove the possibility to use MS-Office formats as default formats in OpenOffice.org 2/ remove the possibility of conversion formats by File > Save As... In other words this menu item should only give the possibility to change the name of the file and switch to it to edit. 3/ add all formats removed from "File > Save As" to "File > Export". Indeed I think that the good practice is to always work in ODF and to chose, if needed, an export format appropriate to the use that the recipient of the document is supposed to have. If he has only to read the document then choose PDF and if he has to edit the document and has only MS-Office then choose a MS-Office format. But, and it is the most important, in all cases you keep your original in ODF as reference version.
