In OOo everything is handled by projects, the projects are free to
join and is usually a good point to continue by joining up these
projects. First thing I will suggest is the German Project
http://de.openoffice.org here they will help you with the localization
efforts http://10n.openoffice.org
Another project for the printer is handled by the SW (word prcoessing
team) http://sw.openoffice.org at least this is to the best of my
knowledge. Visit the project website and join their mailing list.
A continuation will be to create an issue and assign it to the right
developer or team lead so they are aware of your petition. This is by
using our bugtracking system called IssueZilla. Learn more on the help
pages of the OOo site.

Quoting Christian Foerg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hello,
first some informations:
Nationality: German
Occupation: Software engineer
Platforms: WinXP (base for this message), Ubuntu 7.04, Kanotix (Debian-Sid)
OOo (base for this message): 2.2.0 for Windows (US-GUI)
Now I've got two improvement suggestions for OOo.
1. Configure your own locale.
I'd like to have a unusual German(Germany) locale.
For details see thread from users list:
http://www.nabble.com/Decimal-seperator-tf3850982.html#a10908759
Acutally I switched to German(Swiss) to fill my needs.
Suggesstion:
A way to modify the default locales
(e.g. Date format, decimal seperator) would be very usefull.
2. First of all my printer configuration:
- My default printer a is network printer, behind two! servers (slow)
- I've to auth once after startup, to get printer access
It seems, that OOo querrys the actual settings from printer,
every single time I open a existing document/spreadsheat, etc.
Even, if there is another one already open.
So due to the fact of slow response or missing access rights
this could take a while and it takes at least 6 seconds (after
startup) to open a (empty) document, which is very annoying.
Suggestions:
- Querry the printer just if needed (pageview, printview, print, etc.)
- Querry the printer once after startup and not for each document.
Christian
