it should be possible to export test cases from test link to OOCalc. Check below links.
http://demo.testlink.org/latest/docs/tl-file-formats.pdf https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19003017/testlink-export-complete-test-cases-into-openoffice As such testlink is a very handy tool I believe, but I also agree we need to take a call whether we continue to use it otherwise migrate the valuable test cases data into platform in use. If we are migrating we need to take a call of what to do with whether 1)shall we update User wiki at https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/#AOO_3.4_General_Testing_Test_Cases or 2)keep the test cases Calc sheet for ready reference. <<I can contribute here>> In the end, I believe we need to have all test cases in one place with some IDs where all QA volunteers can share them and run the test cases.
