Apologies; was not meant to offend. I thought the intent of his question was "how to get moving on this getting this enhancement in?" And the answer to that is either "wait and hope that a core developer has time/inclination to do it", or "encourage a new (non-core) developer to do it." In regards to open-source software, those are basically the only two options. The bounty option he suggested is a version of "pay them fair wages". Put differently, I don't expect him to personally fund a developer; I, like most other LibO users, am in the exact boat you describe (no feasible opportunity to sponsor a software developer). But he asked "how to push for a quick solution", which I answered. > Maybe if the ODF had some sort of 'donation-for-feature'/bounty bins, > end-users could pool money into them - but not individually. It doesn't have to be individually, nor do I think I suggested that. Again, I answered his question as asked. If you've a better suggestion or answer, please do share it. If I misunderstood, and he was asking for bounty communities, I can google as well as you. For example: https://freedomsponsors.org/ https://www.bountysource.com/search?query=libreoffice But your not wrong that it is perhaps a missed opportunity that TDF doesn't have their own version. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
