It is very surprising for me when an organization, working on editing

its memory, important enough to be kept in its own repositories.
And document history is as important as the final document. For example
document history will show why or if some choice not present in the
final document, has been discussed and rejected during the document
development. Having the document history prevents to discuss again and
again the same things.

The problem is not only Google, it would be the same with any comparable

That said, the doers get to decide.

 Wikis are not WYSIWYG and hard to edit. You cant format a wiki similar

You can use the Mediawiki extension to write your document in

Error: with a wiki you have a complete history of each change since the

Additionally you have a discussion page to comment.

 Likely when the document is fully finished, it would be published to the wiki,

Re: [libreoffice-design] Collecting usage data

Hi Kendy,

Le 08/10/2014 21:12, Jan Holesovsky a écrit :
 Hi,
 
 At the Hangout today, I told that I hacked up a way in LibreOffice how
 to collect usage data.  It's an early prototype, even to turn it on, you
 have to compile; but I (or Samuel, if he can find some time?) plan to do
 a user configuration to turn it on/off, and save it to the user's
 profile.  If the time permits, even sending to some server might be
 possible at some stage (but cannot promise that).

I am sure you did consider the privacy side of the question. I think we
must do that very careffuly because we do not want to be accused to
install a keylogger in LibreOffice as MS did in the technical preview
of Windows-10.

I think that the user should be able to check if the log contains any
personal information and remove all data he does not want to share with TDF.
Additionally sending the data to TDF should be a voluntary action from
the user, for example through a file attached to a mail automatically
composed by LO but manually sent by the user.

Best regards.
JBF, paranoid with privacy questions :-)

 Hi guys,
 On our last IRC chat [1], we've decided to try out a different way of
 working for a month, until the next chat. One of the major changes we've
 decided on is to abandon this mailing list (as a trial) and move our
 conversations to Redmine.

Is there a bridge between the Redmine forums and that mailing-list so
that it will be possible to read the forum offline ?

Is there another bridge between Redmine and our Nabble forums ?

Ok, I found the atom RSS flux but it is very hard to follow a discussion
on a forum. No discussion tree, only a time based organization, you do
not know to what message the message you are reading is responding.

 You can get forum activity sent to your e-mail: log into Redmine, click

 You should try it. :)

Instead of suggesting that I talk without knowing what I am talking

Did you ever try a decent mail client? If you use a webmail, I can
understand why you prefer the forums. But the problem is not the use of
mailing-lists, it is how you manage your mails.

 well redmine is adding it's own headers. so e.g. you can filter the
 mails by using a filter filtering on the x-redmine-project header tag
 
 X-Redmine-Project: nlc-de
 
 (this example is for the german language project on redmine)

Yes, you can use this header to arrange the mails in different folders.
But you still can't know who wrote the message without opening it.

Ok, there is also the header x-Redmine-Sender but I can't use it as

 Hi all,
 
 I'm testing the Navigation button in the Find bar and have some questions:
 Would it be possible to add the navigation labels that were associated
 with the elements in the toolbar. Currently it shows next element,
 previous element, when it was the selected one.

Indeed, that would be better.

 Also, is it wanted that the Navigator opens at the same time behind the
 toolbar?

If it is wanted, it is a bad idea. On my Ubuntu with 4 workspaces, that
has the effect to switch the view to another workspace because the
Navigator window is moved between two workspaces.
I think the Navigator should remember its previous position on the screen.

 Last, could somebody confirm that the Table icon is missing in the
 navigation toolbar?

I confirm.

 I am sorry but I just realized that I forgot to mention thar in the 4.1.x the

 believe it is still experimental in the 4.2.x branch. In other words you must 
 activate the experimental features beforehand in order to access tje sidebar.
 Can someone confirm the sidebar is still experimental in the fresh branch 
 please?

On my own build of LibreOffice 4.2, I do not need to activate
experimental functions to enable the sidebar. Sidebar is enabled by
default for Impress.

In version 4.1 you need to first check Enable experimental sidebar (on
restart) in Tools  Options  LibreOffice  Advanced
That done you can hide or show the sidebar using menu View  Sidebar

 for commands you are sure that an important part of the users will not
 be able to find these commands easily. On the contrary, if you design
 several ways to access to the commands, then you multiply the chances
 for each user to find them and to memorize where they are in order to
 find them quicker next time.
 Following is mostly off-topic, feel free to ignore if you are not into

 Let me explain what is wrong with your picture with an analogy.

Why analogy? Whe discuss about software, and your analogy is a false

In your analogy there is chance, no chance in software menus, toolbar,
