So there is flexibility so long as no code appears in releases, but as you point out, code is leaking from the Symphony base into releases under the table. That is not healthy.

Let's think about a Call for Dev Volunteers
As you have probably seen, we're currently doing a call for QA volunteer, supported by a blog post, the website and social media. They all direct users to an Introduction to QA page: http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/orientation/intro-qa.html We've been promoting this for a week now and have received 5 or 6 good responses. Of course, not everyone who responds will become a longer-term volunteer, but this is how we start. I invite anyone with some spare time (ha!) to jump on the QA list to help coach/mentor/orient the new volunteers. Their initial experience, in the first few days and weeks, is critical. This QA promotion follows some initial experiments with putting targeted calls for volunteers on NL home pages. You cans see an example here: http://www.openoffice.org/hi/ This approach has been very successful, perhaps because we get the plea in front of exactly the audience that can most help in the translation tasks. In some cases we received 2 or 3 volunteers for a language within a few days of adding this kind of message. I'm hoping we can do a broader call for localization volunteers as well. Juergen has promised a blog post on this topic, based on his ApacheCon presentation. Next up I have a call for marketing volunteers: http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/orientation/intro-marketing.html We're still reviewing that page, and I need to prepare a blog post. Hopefully we can start promoting this in a week or two. Which all brings us to Dev. We all know how critical developers are. I'm pretty sure that was why beer was invented. I saved Dev for the end because I wanted to fine-tune the recruitment approach before doing Dev. I'd like to brainstorm a little on what kind of information we should gather together, in the form of new material or links to existing (or updated) material, to make an Intro to Dev page, in the style of the ones above. Assumptions: -- Volunteer has practical C++ and platform skills on at least one core platform. It is not practical for us to teach someone C++. Goals: -- Volunteer is able to download and build AOO -- Volunteer is able to run AOO in a debugger -- Volunteer is able to fix an easy bug in Bugzilla -- Volunteer is able to submit a patch to fix the bug -- Volunteer understands the basics about how we work on the lists, how we make decisions, etc. IMHO, someone who does the above, and repeats it 3 or 4 times, and sticks around for a month or more, and is not a jerk, then they are probably a good committer candidate. I think that would be one success metric for us. Considering the above, I think we'd want the Intro to Dev page to feature (not necessarily in this order): -- Link to intro on Subversion -- Patch submission instructions -- Link to the Building Guide -- but might need a refresh -- Link to a debugging guide (does this even exist?) -- Link to Bugzilla and a pre-defined search for unclaimed easy bugs. (Also, we need to mark some easy bugs in advance) -- Link to previous write up on Discussion lists, Apache Way, etc. Also, another idea was whether we might make the initial build experience far easier for the developer if we encouraged the use of a single platform and version. A developer can use whatever they want, within reason, of course. But what if we said, if you use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS then here is a script that will install the exact pre-reqs you need and bring down the build, set all the flags and kick off a build? In other words, control the environment and we can make the initial build be painless. In a world of virtual machines, this is possible. Anything else for the guide? What else does a new developer need to know to get started? Also, is anyone interested in helping me put this together? -Rob

See: http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/AOO_UX_Design_Exploration_-_Task_Pane_Content_-_Information_Design Capture any thoughts or feedback in the discussion section of the wiki page. Thanks, Kevin Good ideas, indeed! Just a small point about the proposal: you are separating direct formatting (Content properties) from styles (Style list) which is a good idea, but we must keep in mind that there is no direct formatting for pages on Writer: the menu you get when you go to Format → Page does *not* do direct formatting, it just edit the current page style. IMO, the options are: - to not include page information on the content properties docker - to just show a static info panel giving the option to edit the corresponding page style or to apply one of the styles from a list. Maybe (thinking aloud in real time) instead of a page section it would be more interesting to show a breaks section, where you can insert and manage page breaks with change of page styles and reset of page numbering... or maybe put all this on its own panel. The possibility to edit the page style should be limited to the style list panel. Regards Ricardo Ricardo, Thanks for the input. I've posted your comments to the wiki discussion. I'll explore the page properties vs. style options. Regards, Kevin Ricardo, While Lotus Symphony presents page properties in the contextual task pane, they are related to the 'Page Styles'. Evoking the 'More' option command in page properties section header evokes the Page Styles document. So, are the page properties actually stored as styles, or just called styles? That's right: page formatting can only be stored as styles. In fact, if you want a landscape page between two portrait pages you need at lest two page styles and change between them with two page breaks. As a matter of fact, *everything* on Writer is stored as style, not only page formatting. The ODF specialists here can tell the story far better than me, but as far as I understand it even direct character and paragraph formatting is stored on content.xml as hidden styles that do not show on the Stylist (real styles are always on styles.xml). Even manual page breaks are stored as one of those phantom paragraph styles with the page break - before property enabled. But for page formatting there is no hidden style: you need to define (or modify existing ones) as many real page styles as page formats you need on a document *before* you apply them using a proper page breaks. So, from the user perspective we do not have direct formatting for pages, only (sort of) for paragraph and character formatting. NOTE: I really like the style only way. In fact, I would love to see an alternative Writer UI were direct formatting is completely forbidden. Direct formatting is a bad habit that always cause headaches. But that's just me ;) Regards Ricardo I can't imaging someone looking to change the page styles to change the page orientation. Curious. Thoughts? Kevin
[Mwiki] Spam Attack in progress!
Since 05:00 (UTC+5) this morning, I have blocked over 150 spammers; the deleted-pages count is higher. Normal would be about half a dozen. And still they come. In the short run, I can probably handle it, though help from any committer sysops would be useful. In the long run, some site-maintainer work is needed. The additional powers available in later Mwiki versions might be enough to control this sort of thing. Clayton has advised that upgrading is a non-trivial problem, due to a possible encoding foul-up.

Thanks. Hi, Kay, A little research in the BZ Help [1] reveals in Section 6.3.5 that the global footer is in a template, global/footer.html.tmpl. AFAIK it will take root access to the system to change, i.e., we need a site maintainer to do it. HTH, /tj/ Thanks again...Ok, I set up a task for infra -- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-5529 And it is already done! BTW - There is no Apache OOo or Apache OpenOffice.org project. Shouldn't we rename this the Apache OpenOffice Bugzilla instead of Apache OOo Bugzilla? Regards, Dave We probably should. I saw this also, but didn't take the time to bring this up. :/ We should probably do as you suggest Apache OOo - Apache OpenOffice. You'e only talking about the footer contents, right? More than the footers for this one the name is in many places on the front. TJ might know how big this lift is. Regards, Dave AFAIK, it's all in the templates. /tj/ [1] https://issues.apache.org/ooo/docs/en/html/cust-templates.html
Re: Apache and ODF
Greetings, I wrote a free converter that takes an OpenOffice document (well, LibreOffice) and converts it to Kindle format. It's impossible to handle everything from the ODT format, as kindles are more restrictive, so don't expect a 100% perfect conversion. You can get it here: http://soft.alkinea.net It uses kindlegen as the last step in the conversion, to ensure a better compatibility with all kindles and future Amazon changes. It's still in beta, but it's rather stable now. Hope it helps. Alki
