--- Comment #20 from Jean-Marc Liotier <[email protected]> ---
Saying that developers ignore the gaping functional hole is exaggerated: some
are fully aware, but then it is all a matter of prioritizing issues vs.
resources... And we don't bring much to the table besides our rightful
lamentation. Maybe we should organize some way to translate our requirements
into project resources.

Mathias Bauer explained in 2007
(https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=3959#c76) that, on top of being
a substantial and entirely new layout, outline view depended on being able to
display simultaneously multiple layouts for a single document - which implied
significant refactoring of the existing functionnality. In 2008
(https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=3959#c96) he underlined that
lack of progress was not caused by undervaluing this feature but because its
cost made it a lower priority. Support for multiple layouts was added to
Openoffice in Q3-Q4 2010 (https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=81480)
but that was around the time of the Openffice/Libreoffice fork so I do not know
how much of that exists in the Libreoffice code.
