Yes, development is slow. Yes, it would be great if there were more developers. 
And yet AOO does not move forward when regressions are found. From my 
perspective that is important. But most importantly, I'm glad that there isn't 
only one office suite that supports ODF. Diversity is good ;)

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the information.

I think we as a community need to be more concerned about our public perception 
in the future.

Especially in Germany there are a lot of articles in which AOO is poorly 
presented, currently e. g:

supported, so memory usage would double, and large documents would be
problematic. Writing is better, in that there is a streaming API that

There are efforts to reduce the memory requirements in POI on the read  
side. There is a lot of cross development between Tika and POI. Tika has  
a huge regression set of documents it knows about on the web.




Could we get any funding for better OOXML suport?


Raphael?


We are not in the position to put money into the project. However, we can  
Collect money for this project, and pay developers. That should be  
possible. We also willing to invest some menpower.

Funds for Re: Open XML Filter

2017-10-20 Thread Peter kovacs 
@Andrea you said if we want to do something we should reach out. So I think 
this might be a thing:

How about creating a project plan, estimates for a budget and then start a 
campaign?

We could also check if we can staff the team introducing the people to 
interested financiers.
Which dev would be interested in general?

All the best
Peter

There are efforts to reduce the memory requirements in POI on the read side. 
There is a lot of cross development between Tika and POI. Tika has a huge 
regression set of documents it knows about on the web.

dmake and epm

2017-10-20 Thread Jim Jagielski 
Just a FYI that I am tracking dmake and epm on the
below Github pages:

   o https://github.com/jimjag/epm
   o https://github.com/jimjag/dmake

I know we are moving away from dmake, but IMO it'll take
some time for that to be complete. Plus, updating to the
latest version of EPM is useful (it's the ONLY way to build
the macOS versions now, for example), but we also need
the AOO-specific patches in there. Which are included
in my forks.

Just topic for discussion and chewing over
