Dear Sir, I regret to inform you that I can no longer be a part of the Apache community. It seems that the level of coding skills required (in C++) is much higher than my current level. However, I will work on developing my skills in the next few years and will return again as a productive member of the Apache Community. Regards -Ankit Kulshrestha
Re: Version for i-pad?
Hi Louis, Many thanks for your explanations.

I don't understand very well. Many thanks. A+ -- gw The issue is that to develop a working ODF editor (and call it what you want) that has close enough resemblance to the UI for AOO to be acceptable to the AOO (and even LO) user base is not by any means impossible but does require a significant investment of developer time and energy--and then a continuing commitment to keeping it up-to-date and bug free. That the code should be open source would be nice. Work along the lines of porting AOO to Android has been done; a port exists. But as the dev. has explained to me, it's more a proof of concept, though a working one, than a useful app. Part of the problem, as I see it, is that the UI and UX of any tablet differs rather a lot from the desktop's. For starters, there is less space; then there is no keyboard, though that can be added to a tablet, easily enough, via Bluetooth. But there are other issues, and they are not insignificant. I have not checked MS's iPad offering, as to actually use the apps for more than viewing (sigh), one has to pay 100US/annum. That's a lot, and why? If I want a proprietary tool that actually already reads and edits MSFT files, I can use Apple's free productivity apps. They're actually pretty good. But they do not support ODF. (I don't think, but have not checked, MSFT on the iPad supports ODF, either.) UX Write also supports .docx on the iPad (and all iOS7 devices) but a) it doesn't have change tracking, b) doesn't yet support ODT, c) is so far proprietary; and d), is only on Apple's iOS. The developers would certainly include more things and conceivably alter licensing regime but Resources. Resources can be simply the money to pay for developers. The inducement of building an app that would be used in this setting and that would also be, ideally, open source, is probably today a lot clearer than it was last week, prior to the advent of Office for iPad. The totally unsurprising popularity of Office/iPad will perhaps make it a lot easier to engage developers in building something equivalent for AOO--or, as I would prefer, in a way, a good-enough solution. (Good enough is another way of being realistic: I don't imagine that many spreadsheet mavens will want to do their thing on a tablet, even with a spare keyboard and the same could be said of some complex presentation work. But I can see people using the Draw component, and I do see many using and wanting to use even more the text components. So one builds for logical use. Second. I don't see the point of preserving the architecture of AOO, though that is what was done with the port to Android--and I see that as a mistake. Why bother with it? Peter Kelly of UX Write has built a brilliant text editor for iOS without it, using HMTL... and is working on ODT support.) I further think that now is a rather good time to put out a call for table development. Again: Microsoft's belated splash into the pool. As always, the entry of Microsoft into a market that shadows its primary (tablet::desktop) profoundly alters that market's dynamics. Let's take advantage of that :-) Hence, somewhat--but not entirely--facetious notion of a Kickstarter-like campaign to garner funds from the people. I would prefer to have any kind of funded engagement be within Apache's universe, but it need not be. -louis 2014-03-28 22:41 GMT+01:00 Louis Suárez-Potts lui...@gmail.com: On 2014-03-28, at 17:24, FR web forum ooofo...@free.fr wrote: Question asked many times See: https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=49t=61238 Thanks.

Re: 4.1. Regressions
Oliver-Rainer Wittmann wrote (Mar 10): Changing entry of Field Version from an older version to a newer one should not happen. When a user submits a new issue the Field Version should contain the version on which the user observes the issue. Experienced community members, primarily by QA people, should refine the value, but only in the direction to older versions. Thus, finally the Field Version should document the version in which the issue occurs first. I just saw this comment by Oliver, and as a reporter/user/translator, this is new to me. I'll update the guide with this instruction ( https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/QA/HowToFileIssue), and I hope Oliver won't mind me quoting him. Please review the guide, and add/edit, or add a note in the Discussion of the Wiki page. Thanks.

Specifications for Enhancement Requests
Hi all, today I read [Issue 124455] introducing a attribute for spacing between paragraphs with the same paragraph style https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124455. I think it's an Idea what is worth to think over, but it is one of those where several relations and possible obstacles have to be considered before a decision can be done whether we want to invest developer time for implementation. I think for complex requests we should create something like a short specification where we collect all facts and thoughts, try to reach common sense how we should proceed. https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Specification_template seems a little oversized, too complex and so rather deterring. Does anybody know a more simple Template, more or less similar to a check-list for the essentials like * possible benefit * risks * To be considered, related issues * alternatives (different solution, Extension) * real life scenarios * competitors' approach * accessibility impact, * Related Bugzilla issues CU Rainer - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Contrary to popular belief (at least in some circles), many things at Apache became easier, not more complex! So: for sure we won't be requiring that specification template any longer. What we have seen at Apache is something like Oliver's specification for his work on input fields: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Writer/Input_Fields (and Andre and others wrote clean, easy specification pages too). In all cases, though, this was maintained directly by the developer working on a feature. So I suggest that you give a real developer (probably Oliver in this case) the possibility to assess the idea and tell us if it makes sense and how complex it is to implement. Then, depending on his feedback and subject to availability of someone who knows, it can be developed by an existing developer, proposed for a Summer of Code project and so on.

[Übersetzung] Verzeichnisse
Hallo! In der aktuellen Version wird im Writer die englische Bezeichnung Indexes and Tables wortwörtlich zu Verzeichnisse und Tabellen übersetzt. Das halte ich für sehr irreführend und falsch. Das englischen Table of Contents ist im Deutschen ein Inhaltsverzeichnis. Insofern sollte man auch bei den Menüeinträgen wieder einfach zu Verzeichnis zurückkehren.

Re: [Übersetzung] Schwebender Rahmen
... würde beweglicher Rahmen passen? 2014-03-30 19:57 GMT+02:00 Mathias Röllig mroellig.n...@gmx.net: Hallo! Ich habe mal etwas Geschichtsforschung in alten Versionen betrieben, da mir (und wahrscheinlich allen, die es vorgesetzt bekommen) der Begriff Schwebender Rahmen nichts sagt. In früheren Versionen hieß das einfach Frame; im Englischen wird es zur Unterscheidung von einem Textrahmen Floating Frame genannt. Geschichte: Neben reinen HTML-Dokumenten konnte StarOffice auch HTML-Framesets erzeugen. Für HTML-Unkundige: Ein Frameset definiert ein (starres) Gerüst aus mehreren Rahmen (Fenstern), in welche dann einzelne HTML-Seiten geladen werden. Ist heute kaum noch gebräuchlich. Um dieses starre Gerüst aufzuheben und neben HTML auch andere Inhalte mitten in ein HTML-Dokument laden zu können, wurde bei MS der iFrame erfunden. Ein solcher Frame sitzt mitten im Text und fließt mit ihm mit. (→ floating frame) Ein solcher Inline Frame (→ iFrame) war OO-technisch dasselbe wie ein Frame im Frameset und hatte dieselben Eigenschaften zur Verfügung. Ich zitiere aus der aktuellen Hilfe: --- *Schwebender Rahmen - Eigenschaften* Ändert die Eigenschaften des ausgewählten schwebenden Rahmens. Schwebender Rahmen funktionieren am besten, wenn sie ein html-Dokument enthalten und wenn sie in in weiteres html-Dokument eingefügt werden. --- Wenn man nun einfach mal ein HTML-Dokument erstellt, stellt man erstaunt fest, daß der Befehl gar nicht zur Verfügung steht (inaktiv)! Zur Einführung dieses Features konnte neben StarOffice nur der MSIE mit einem iFrame im HTML etwas anfangen. Das hat sich inzwischen geändert, der zugehörige Hilfetext ist verschwunden, aber die Funktionalität ist nicht angepaßt: aktiviert wird diese Funktion nach wie vor nur, wenn man Extras → Einstellungen - Laden/speichern - HTML-Kompatibilität: Export auf Microsoft Internet Explorer ändert. Nach diesem geschichtlichen Schwenk zurück zum Ausgangspunkt: Entweder man kehrt zurück zum nichtssagenden Frame (iFrame wäre nur in Verbindung mit HTML-Export sinnvoll) oder man läßt sich eine deutsche Bezeichung einfallen, die irgendetwas mit der Funktion zu tun hat, wie Dokumentobjekt.
