Re: Starting Introduction to Contributing to Apache OpenOffice Module
Hi Jaya, your are welcome. Is one of the modules your favorite? Do you already had a look at http://openoffice.apache.org/qa.html and the pages mentioned there? Maybe you just start off to familiarize yourself with our Bugzilla https://bz.apache.org/ooo/ ? Kind regards Regina Jaya schrieb: Hi, I a jaya from USA.

Re: [PROPOSAL] move repo to Git.

(Sorry if you already got this message: I'm experiencing problems and delays with Apache e-mails this weekend) So, from what I can understand, the GIT repository would only replace these three directories: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/trunk/ (which would become the master branch) http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/branches/ http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/tags/ (which would become GIT branches and tags respectively). All the rest in http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/ would stay unchanged and continue to be managed through SVN, which means that this has no impact on people who work on the site and on translators who commit files. I am OK with the change but we should wait for the opinion of the other committers who routinely commit to the above directories, since they are the only ones who will see an impact. Note that it is known, from previous conversations, that this will require some scripts to be adapted. One of them is the SVNBot that sends notifications to Bugzilla depending on commit messages. Another one is the script that generates filenames and metadata for the buildbots http://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/index.html and now relies on the SVN revision number. Nothing impossible of course, but we need to be aware of it.

Re: OOo4Kids OOoLight Status
Hello, 2015-02-14 23:36 GMT+01:00 jonathon toki.kant...@gmail.com: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 [..] That would require one addition to the Tools Options Appearance Select UI-Profile, and offer: * Prebuilt; * Default; * Custom; That's exactly what we have discussed by Educoo, but not so sophisticated : only 3 levels: Beginner, Intermediate and Expert. I already have addressed this issue on this list in the past, but I didn't get an answer. I have also tried to test a possible interest by EuroOffice, but also without result. My conclusion is that it could be not so easy to implement or not possible via an extension. Clicking on Prebuilt has the following options: * Ooo4Kids; * OOoLight; * Novice; * Basic; * Intermediate; * Advanced; * Default; You could reduce the number of options here. For instance OOoLight is not necessary. The differences with OOo4Kids are too small. Novice, Intermediate and Advanced (AOO without modifications) should be enough (personal opinion). Clicking on Custom has the following options: * Custom1; * Custom2; * Custom3; * Custom4; * Custom5; * Custom6; * Custom7; Custom1, Custom2, .. Custom7, would be created by users, not the project. The major use-case I see for the Custom# profiles, is an office restricting/granting users access to specific parts of AOo. In theory, and maybe in practice, people will wrap their Custom# as an extension, for distribution to third parties. Custom is a nice idea for people working in specific areas, for instance chemists, physicians, translators, etc. not the perfect way but it has the merit to be realizable without any modification of the code. In one sense, both OOo4Kids and OOoLight were nothing more than sophisticated skins. Yes, they did gut some of the innards of OOo, but that gutting would have had minimal impact on _most_ users. OOo4Kids and OOoLight were not just limited to that. There was also the independence from Java, the decoupling of the base module, the list of Calc functions adapted to different levels, etc. These changes will not be possible by a profile mechanism, but this method should be an acceptable workaround to adjust AOO to different user levels or needs.

Re: [PROPOSAL] move repo to Git.
Hi Pedro, I don't currently use git but what I use is not really important: if a move to git were to be considered, it would only make sense if we can rescue the pre-apache history and in particular the Hg CWSs. Most of the open-source history has been preserved. I talked about this in my last year's FOSDEM presentation [1]. The code history was provided a big git repository in a 2GB blob [2]. Unzip it and start your favorite git tool to explore it (e.g. gitk --all).
