Hi :) Just speculation but ... I'm not convinced the ODFAuthors system is simpler. It's just that more people are familiar with it and have been using it for longer.
However, it seems to be difficult to attract and retain new people and that may be an indication of complexities that longer-term users don't notice any more. Ok, so i am not convinced the ODFAuthors system is more complex either as i have no evidence nor experience either way.

IMO, a system that is easy for newbies and non-geeks to understand and get work done is MUCH to be preferred. That said, I think we could have a compromise method of working that includes both the geeky advantages of metadata and the non-geeky advantages of different filenames for different LO versions. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
