            Bug ID: 169121
           Summary: Replace 'Company' with 'Organization' in User Data
                    dialog (and in code)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: needsUXEval
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: [email protected]

Our User Data dialog has a field named 'Company'.

This is inappropriate, as it presumes that organizational affiliation is always
to a (commercial) company. The label should be changed to 'Organization', which
is more general: Companies are organizations, as are foundations, unions,
associations, clubs and other entities.

So, let's change that field name - change the label, and also the corresponding
naming in the code for consistency. Have a look:

https://github.com/search?q=repo%3ALibreOffice%2Fcore company&type=code

* SfxDocumentMetaData
* SvtUserOptions
* include files such as strings.hrc and dbui.hrc
* UserDataPart

Also, field names used in some examples.


Note that this is a matter of socio-political significance as well: LibreOffice
exists as a proof that not everything needs to happen within companies, and not
all organizations have to be companies. So why are we catering to the opposite
assumption?
