I) Using _BibleGet I/O - 2.7_ as an example: LibreOffice Version: 6.0.1.1 (Build ID: 60bfb1526849283ce2491346ed2aa51c465abfe6 ) installing it generates the error message: «java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException». Would you want that in the "No" column, or placed elsewhere, or simply omitted. II) Based on my sporadic testing of extensions over the years, a simple yes/no is insufficient: * Some extensions are platform specific; * Some extensions, despite claims of being platform specific, will not run on a specific platform. (I've forgotten which extension runs on Debian, but not Red Hat, or maybe it is vice versus.); * Extensions that work on version X.0.0, may not work with X.0.1; III) Test Suites: For the last five or so years, I've spent a week or so each year, installing every LibO, AOo, EO, and OOP extension I can get my hands on, for the sole purpose of seeing what still installs, and what appears to still function as advertised. However, I have a test suite for maybe as maybe as twenty extensions. Are there publicly available test suites for _any_ of these extensions? IV) How does one test something like _LeeNo_. Just because it installs, does not mean it does what it claims to do. V) "Obsolete" versions of the extension: Taking _American British Canadian Dictionary_ as an example, the version LibO offers was released in 2012, whilst the most recent version was released in December 2017. How should things like that be notated? >Ich werde später die LibreOffice-Extensions-Templates-Webseite entsprechend für die getesteten Extensions auf den aktuellen Stand bringen. This is a worthy aim, and much easier to start now, than later; My estimate is that at least a quarter of the templates lack the documentation to know whether or not they function as described. Would a user even know that the template was "broken"? By way of example, The Wittlich Character Diagram template incorrectly calculates the thirteenth spoke. (Fixed in version 9.0, but that hasn't yet been released.) jonathon -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/projects/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
