that page is very outdated, and it is a mixture of all kinds of

I think pmc-faq, should have exact that content.

[Website] Download page: Swedish


I'm told that users with a Swedish browser, if they open
http://www.openoffice.org/download/
see (correctly) A release for Swedish is not available but then still 
see the big download link, Download Apache OpenOffice 4.0.0, which 
points to http://sv.openoffice.org/get/ (or to a Page not Found error).


Is this wanted? Or should the link in this case just point to the 
other.html page, or adopt another wording?


Note: Swedish was available in 3.4.1 but is not yet available in 4.0.0.

When there are no builds for a specific language then it depends on the 
setting where the green download box redirects. Mostly it's a link to 
the L10N page.


When browsing to the Swedish webpage I cannot see any errors on the page 
- except links to the AOO 3.4.1 release.


However, I've changed the wording to make it more clear what the user 
can expect when clicking on the link.

This is wanted to give the L10N commnity the posibility to tell their 
users what they could do (e.g., Help! We need volunteers to translate.).

No objections, but I don't think this will be very effective.  People
who know about portable software will probably just search Google
for portable OpenOffice, in which case they will find our existing
ports page, blog post, etc.  (Searching via a search engine is more
effective than navigating through a website looking for something)
But if they are not familiar with the concept of a portable app then
they are not likely to click on that link.   In other words, most
people are not even aware that something like this exists and what it
is called.

ports is more usual in a software context.

But portable is ambiguous, since it means two things: 1) capable of
being ported to multiple platforms. 2) something you can carry.

Since we offer portable code, ports of the binaries and a portable
version, it is hard to avoid confusion here ;-)

We should be using existing tools like the mailing list and BZ and IRC
for admin requests and reporting outages. I don't think we want to
encourage direct emails.

The real goal, IMHO, should be making sure that the responsible party
can easily find out what issues/requests are related to their area.
This could be done by using the dev list for all such requests. It
could also be done by having BZ areas for such requests, something we
do have today in most cases.

So I would recommend just listing names or Apache ID's (robweir, etc.)
without mailto: hyperlinks, for reference.

Of course, every rule has exceptions.

Maybe a variation on this approach would work for us as well?

Shouldn't this be enough to make it clear? Or is it better when I

Hi Marcus,

2013/7/28 Marcus (OOo) marcus.m...@wtnet.de


 I'm already working with OpenOffice since many years, so I don't know if
 this is still needed by many users. ;-) But it sounds good and helpful.

 However, to not mixed things up and to get the most attention you would
 write your proposal as new mail thread.


Probably also not useful for the 57 millions of former OO.org or LibO users
who have already downloaded AOO ;-)
But I live in a difficult country, with virtually 100% MS users and only a
single AOO user detected up to now, living at 150 km from my house, my
situation is a little different, but also extremely exciting ;-)

 Well I could say the same, a page only a few knows that contains quite a
 lot of diifferent information, and where the maintenance part is outdated
 (doesnt even contain the services we offer), or a new page with the sole
 purpose of information who is doing the job.

If this is a new page then it should be called Infrastructure and be linked 
to from the left nav in the Community section of the project site.

Once the page is created and we are happy with it we can update the PMC facts 
by replacing the duplicate content with a link.

 We should be using existing tools like the mailing list and BZ and IRC
 for admin requests and reporting outages.  I don't think we want to
 encourage direct emails.
 
 
 hmm, if thats the case then there are no purpose of telling who is doing
 the job...then we all just scream help on whatever list and hope the right
 person reads its. On the other hand, if we want to identify the people
 doing the job I have only found the mailId as a common dominator, if you
 have another id then please tell me.
 
 Using BZ for outages, would be at least interesting, on a good day it would
 take 2-3 weeks before I became aware of the problem. I think for outages BZ
 is not really the suited. IRC might be suited, but I seldom see people who
 can do something in there. Maybe I am just negative, but at least I have
 nearly a full year experience with AOO (and 25+ with other systems) and all
 ourages an until today I have not received a single outage request from BZ
 or IRC.
 
 
 The real goal, IMHO, should be making sure that the responsible party
 can easily find out what issues/requests are related to their area.
 This could be done by using the dev list for all such requests.  It
 could also be done by having BZ areas for such requests, something we
 do have today in most cases.
 
 
 I honestly think that the responsible party know what their area are, I
 think it is more important the informing part knows where to inform.
 
 I take your word for using BZ and dev@, since it saves me the work of
 making a list. But bear in mind that I (as an example) from time to time
 only read dev mail with 72 hours interval, do you really want to wait that
 long to get a server restarted ?
 
 
 
 So I would recommend just listing names or Apache ID's (robweir, etc.)
 without mailto: hyperlinks, for reference.

 that was my basic idea, but the difference is that #asfinfra and infra@ are
 solely for maintenance and not for general development (infra-dev@ is for
 that purpose), dev@ is of course mainly related to non-maintenance issues,
 and as such an outage mail can easily be overlooked.

 thanks for your views, we do have a big gap between your views and what I
 feel is needed.
 
 Maybe I am just too focused on providing 24/7 service, and not something
 with 72hours gaps. I will let the discussion mature before I start doing
 wasted work.

I hope the folks on issue 113171 can re-test with AOO 4.0. I went through a
few of the steps just now on AOO 4.0 with my Linux version and everything
works as expected. One system clipboard doing what you would expect.

Hello Lay --

I took a look at this Forum discussion. I can not enlighten you, but it
would help us a great deal if you could file a bug issue for this problem.

There are some other issues related to cutting and pasting and clipboard
already. It would help if we had more specific examples to investigate
this
and fix these problems.

 If this is a new page then it should be called Infrastructure and be

Agreed, I actually get quite confused by the difference between
www.openoffice.org and openoffice.apache.org, I wonder if the users share
the confusion.

I agree with both name of link.



 Once the page is created and we are happy with it we can update the PMC
 facts by replacing the duplicate content with a link.


if/when the page is made it will be available on people.a.o/~jani and

Rob raised some very valid doubts, if a detailed listing is wanted, and I

Sorry for the confusion. I'm suggesting listing names, but not email
address.  The idea is to not make it trivial for someone to click and
send an email.  Remember, we're still dealing with the masses who are
looking for the easy way to technical support. As BZ admin I receive
quite a few product support questions sent to the admin address.
Ditto to the list help address.  So make it sufficient for project
members to know who owns the area, but not so simple that any random
person will use it.

Remember, in many areas we have more than one authorized person who
can fix things.  But we also all take vacations.  Sending an outage
message to personal email has two problems:

1) It does not let others on the dev list know about the outage or
that it has already been reported. This leads to a cascade of more
notifications sent, to the general annoyance of everyone.

2) If the person notified is not available, due to vacation or
whatever, the fix is delayed even further.

So I recommend sending all such issues to BZ if it is not urgent or to
the dev list if it is urgent.  Sometimes I'll even put the dev

I get a similar error if I try to use the bookmarklet to edit other

Anyone else seeing this?

Yes.  It worked out well.  Note though that we have received a note
from a print journalist looking for a high-resolution screenshot.  So
we might consider the needs of print media in the next release also.

So what next?  One idea is to have a follow up blog post with download
numbers and highlights from the media coverage of the 4.0 release.  Of
course, we could list all of the articles, which would be impressive.
But it would be good to have a shorter list of the best coverage also

Hm, my favorite online dictionary says portings. ;-) Let's see what our

ports is more usual in a software context.

But portable is ambiguous, since it means two things: 1) capable of
being ported to multiple platforms. 2) something you can carry.

Since we offer portable code, ports of the binaries and a portable
version, it is hard to avoid confusion here ;-)

The link says:
Portable USB version and other third-party portings

I think Third-party ports including a portable USB version is better US
English.

and the title:
Get Apache OpenOffice as portable USB version or choose from other third-party
portings

Get third-party ports of Apache OpenOffice including a portable USB version.

I want to put the portable thing first as it seems to be the more
important info. So, how to do it in better English?

Shouldn't this be enough to make it clear? Or is it better when I replace Portable USB
version with Portable USB App?

If we say App then users will be thinking App Store.

Instead of leaving them alone I've started to update the DL scripting to

instead of give an error back or just do nothing, the scripting shows
that
the release for the (hopefully currectly) recognized platform / OS is not
available and points to the other.html webpage.

Now I would like to ask you to test this with devices and OSes you have
available to see how it works and where it has to be improved:

The analyze webpage will help to see what is recognized and actually
shown:

Please open BZ issues for these problems:

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/

Maybe a single BZ issue would be better than one per reporter?

There could be a lot of issues created; it's likely there will be many
duplicates.

Perhaps create a generic issue and link to it from this email thread.

I expect to get a copy of the analyze webpage to see the details. So, many
users paste their data into a single issue will mess this up totally. IMHO
seperate issues are better to manage this - even when there will be some
duplicates. And when I do the fixes fast then there won't be much dups.

It's wrong. The shown text should be different. In general it's the same
situation Andrea was facing. However, with a tablet the browser data

I hope the folks on issue 113171 can re-test with AOO 4.0. I went through a
few of the steps just now on AOO 4.0 with my Linux version and everything
works as expected. One system clipboard doing what you would expect.


I don't think that bugs are fixed this easily!
Note that this bug is not that frequent. So wait and see.

I think this is a very nice way of supporting our volunteer ecosystem.
Hopefully, we can identify others that would like to participate this way
as well.

Good candidates would be:  representatives from specific NL
communities, especially ones that have done something local that is
interesting.  Also extension authors are good to interview.  Maybe one
also the OS/2 port?  (We already did blog posts on the BSD and Solaris
ports)

I couldn't find this.  Maybe someone already fixed it?

 But a lot of people are missing it due to the portable version being
 too hidden in our download infrastructure.

 What's the best solution to ensure that:
 1) Users can actually find the portable version and
 2) Users are correctly informed that this is a third-party port?

 My proposal (subject to lazy consensus or discussion here) would be to
 modify

 http://www.openoffice.org/**download/http://www.openoffice.org/download/
 as follows: add it to the line that says
 Get all platforms, languages, language packs | Source Code tarballs and
 SDK |
 so that it becomes
 Get all platforms, languages, language packs | Source Code tarballs and
 SDK | Third-party and portable versions

 and to link the additional text to
 http://www.openoffice.org/**porting/http://www.openoffice.org/porting/
 so that people are correctly informed. This also ensures that when/if we
 have other portable versions available nothing needs to be changed.


 To have a visible impression see here:


 http://ooo-site.staging.**apache.org/download/test/**index.htmlhttp://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/download/test/index.html


 +1, is portings the right word ? my dictionary suggest ports,  but I
 am
 no native speaker.


 Hm, my favorite online dictionary says portings. ;-) Let's see what our
 native speakers will say.


 ports is more usual in a software context.

 But portable is ambiguous, since it means two things:  1) capable of
 being ported to multiple platforms.  2) something you can carry.

 Since we offer portable code, ports of the binaries and a portable
 version, it is hard to avoid confusion here ;-)

 The link says:
 Portable USB version and other third-party portings

I think Third-party ports including a portable USB version is better US 
English.


 and the title:
 Get Apache OpenOffice as portable USB version or choose from other 
 third-party portings

Get third-party ports of Apache OpenOffice including a portable USB version.


 Shouldn't this be enough to make it clear? Or is it better when I replace 
 Portable USB version with Portable USB App?

If we say App then users will be thinking App Store.

Regards,
Dave
