I realize it's only two values, but even for two values what's clearer for a user to read? I did try it with the RPM and DEB series each plotted, rather than a ratio. But the values are so close that the points piles on each other most of the time. I don't think it worked as well. When you have already seen 2 nearly identical lines for RPM and DEB then I would state this in the text - to make it clear that we don't see a preference in one of the both package systems.

A popular beginner's choice for SVN clients under Windows is http://tortoisesvn.net/ downloads.html Once you entered the CMS with the bookmarklet from the NL main page, update the directory and browse the directory content, you can edit brand.mdtext without problems using the CMS interface, just selecting it from the list.

I think I commented this problem on another thread, but it get lost from my memory: the file *seems* empty, but the problem is that the field for the page header content (the one that needs to be changed[1]) is below those empty fields and there is no way to scroll down the page. Unless you have a really big monitor and your browser maximized, the only way to access to that part of the page is to zoom it out (Ctrl-scroll down), and well, firefox remember that kind of settings so next time I went there everything was accessible... so probably yes, there is a bug on that page that do not show the scroll bar, hiding the page header field. [1] there are three parameters in that field: announce, announceurl and announcetip Regards, Ricardo I've never used SVN for that. On the contrary, I do most of my editing in SVN, so I cannot notice if a given brand.mdtext file is editable in the CMS.

Regards, Ricardo It would make more snse So this would work like we did for 3.4.1 when we added new languages. Why not call it 4.0.2? Well, we already discussed it, but the main reasons would be: for the languages already released in 4.0.1, 4.0.2 would be identical (example: 4.0.1 in French would be identical to 4.0.2 in French) since all commits in the meantime have been done to trunk; a new 4.0.2 release takes a much larger effort than a 4.0.1 language update, so it is harder to find volunteers and this is worth doing only if we have some important bugfixes for 4.0.1 to include (and I don't see any at the moment). It would make more sense for it to be 4.0.1 unless there were critical bug fixes that would justify a 4.0.2. The only potential glitch that I see is handling the release notes.

Disadvantage: it's just a mock-up I made picking elements from here and there, no code exists. In fact, I tried to build the logo with the globe and the FORUM part from Apache_OpenOffice_Logo_ChrisR_selected_2013-06_optim.svg file, but I was not able to open it right (I think it was already commented on the list that there are problems rendering that SVG). My best attempt is on this Draw file http://people.apache.org/~rgb-es/Forum-Header-2.odg where I just cropped the logo used on the extension site and added the right part using Draw. (On this document you can also find the last header mock-up version). There is also agreement (at least, nobody opposed it) on updating the download logo with the new design http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/download/file.php?id=17646 Regards, Ricardo I would like to start discussing this again. As commented on the previous email, there is agreement on the forum header design and on changing the download icon. Which are the steps needed to implement this change on all NL forums?

I haven't gone by the forums yet Imacat but I'm quite sure all is well. As for Terry's account, it seems to me it should of gone also. Same for my account, there is no good reason, which I can see, to have admin rights at any of the forums presently. On the ES forums, I just created a new group called Administradores eméritos (Emeritus administrators) and put you and Terry there. Same colour of admins but same rights of volunteers (normal users + access to the hidden subforums, nothing else). I mean, while I think it is great from you that you ask for removal of the privileges that you are not planning to use, it's not right to just downgrade your accounts after all you did for the forums ;) Regards, Ricardo @Janl, yes I should be hitting the forums more (easy to do 'more' since I'm starting at zero) but I don't really need admin rights to be useful there - and if I did become active, seeing something where such rights could be put to use, well then I can always ask for them. It seems to me to be the better way to go, rather then having long dormant accounts. @Phan - thank you for taking this on, it is very good to see the site open again.

In the past there was an email address that sent an automated message to a particular forum thread on the private forum area. This system is not working since the move to Apache. Until the automated reply is re-activated, a simple mail box for each NL forum, accessible to forum admins and moderators will be more than enough, something like forum-admin-locale@aoo. the automated message looks to be a simple configuration in php2bb, at least as far as I can see. This could be a good challenge for new admins (working in line with the proposal dave works on). Thanks, Ian, np (its Jan) But even if simple, we need first an email address for each forum so users can send a message. If there is an automated response then better, but right now there is no way for a new user to call for help. I can understand that, and agree its a good idea. I simply wanted to make you aware that you might need a appl. admin to change the configuration. The admin situation is up for discussion (headed by another pmc member), and have been discussed quite a lot, but no decision has been made. The way I worked and suggested to work in future seems to be too restrictive for some people, as a consequence the applications on our servers are currently not being maintained, apart for security. As we both know, there is work in progress to start a admin ML, which would fit this purpose very well (headed by another pmc member), however after the initial discussion, is seems nothing happens (at least no jira has been created). I would not recommend a ML for each forum, the overhead (moderators etc) are too big, instead have the mailer put the forum name in the header. So is there a reason why the admin mailing list could not be used for this? People here is quite used to mailing list, but most users don't. In fact, I know many people that will never send an email to a mailing list, specially if public: lot of people do not want to expose their email addresses on public lists. I assume the traffic level would be low enough that it would not be necessary to have N mailing lists for N forums. So using a single ML point of contact for admin questions could make sense here. The other alternative is an email alias. So no mailing list but just forwarding of emails to a group. That makes sense. We can open somewhere a free account for each NL forum and then set an aoo alias to it. Regards, Ricardo Sadly enough we have many good initatives like it, that are thoroughly discussed and then left to a slow death when it comes to the actual work. Sorry about that. We had that little thing called a release that distracted me for a little while. Regards, -Rob Let me know if I can of further help. rgds jan I. The only alternative forums have now (and as a matter of fact, it is being considered) is to open a mail box on a free mail server and to share the log-in information between moderators and admins, promoting that address on the forum itself. But that's a really suboptimal solution: writing to a yahoo or gmail address to communicate to the official community forum of Apache OpenOffice project will not be right, I think: something more official will be far better.

Thanks, Ian, But even if simple, we need first an email address for each forum so users can send a message. If there is an automated response then better, but right now there is no way for a new user to call for help. The only alternative forums have now (and as a matter of fact, it is being considered) is to open a mail box on a free mail server and to share the log-in information between moderators and admins, promoting that address on the forum itself. But that's a really suboptimal solution: writing to a yahoo or gmail address to communicate to the official community forum of Apache OpenOffice project will not be right, I think: something more official will be far better.

Re: [download page] experience with updated download page
(top posting) The only problem I've seen, and for some users on the forums is the same, is the browser (in my case, firefox) displaying the cache page instead of the real one: because I opened the download page a couple of days ago, on first load the page still offers 4.0.0. By reloading the page everything is Ok and 4.0.1 is offered, but I wonder if there is any way to force a browser to ignore the cache and reload the page.

To mention the MS Excel export improvement is really important as it was (one of) the topic with the highest number of reported 4.0.0 issues (with 6 duplicates and 9 votes). If I understand correctly we'll go live with the announcement on Tuesday. So we'll want to ensure the website download page is ready first. Yes, let me check on Monday evening (Hamburg time) if it's already working. Then we can do the public announcement on Tuesday with working download links.

Of course still only in the staged area: http://ooo-site.staging.**apache.org/download/index.htmlhttp://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/download/index.html Please test yourself. For me every link is working that I've clicked on but of course I've not tested every platform, language and link. *Important:* Avoid any changes and especially publishing on the webpages until Tuesday. Otherwise the new 4.0.1 download links will go online without announcement and public note.

Whether such a change is a fix, a boost, an enhancement, an improvement or just a task done is a point that could fill a whole dissertation. Whether these distinct terms overlap or not or how much opens another research topic for linguists. But I think we can agree that it is noteworthy.

Re: Websites headers (forum, wiki, main site, ...)
(top posting) Summarizing the discussion on the forums. There is agreement on a design for the forum header. You can see a mock-up here http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/download/file.php?id=17876mode=view Advantage: it uses the official logo without modifications, by changing the blue on the header for another, lighter colour already in use on the forum so there is no need for a full review. Disadvantage: it's just a mock-up I made picking elements from here and there, no code exists. In fact, I tried to build the logo with the globe and the FORUM part from Apache_OpenOffice_Logo_ChrisR_selected_2013-06_optim.svg file, but I was not able to open it right (I think it was already commented on the list that there are problems rendering that SVG). My best attempt is on this Draw file http://people.apache.org/~rgb-es/Forum-Header-2.odg where I just cropped the logo used on the extension site and added the right part using Draw. (On this document you can also find the last header mock-up version). There is also agreement (at least, nobody opposed it) on updating the download logo with the new design http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/download/file.php?id=17646 Regards, Ricardo 2013/8/21 Larry Gusaas larry.gus...@gmail.com On 2013-08-20 3:04 PM Alexandro Colorado wrote: On Tue, Aug 20, 2013 at 3:57 PM, Larry Gusaas larry.gus...@gmail.com wrote: On 2013-08-20 1:56 PM Alexandro Colorado wrote: Also community forum text itself is a branding breach, which has also been questioned for the index forum page, as 'funny': http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?p= 282094#p282094http://forum.openoffice.org/**en/forum/viewtopic.php?p=**282094#p282094 http://forum.**openoffice.org/en/forum/** viewtopic.php?p=282094#p282094http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?p=282094#p282094 ** The funny comment was in relation to a different logo than we are discussing. http://forum.openoffice.org/ en/forum/download/file.php?id=http://forum.openoffice.org/**en/forum/download/file.php?id=** 17669 http://forum.openoffice.org/**en/forum/download/file.php?id=** 17669 http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/download/file.php?id=17669 .

Re: Can we do this email thing (whatever it is called)?
2013/9/17 Rob Weir robw...@apache.org When I purchase a commercial software package I register and then I am sometimes offered a weekly tips email. It covers tips on how to use the product, how to get support, FAQs, etc. It is very useful for new users. But this is not a typical announcement list thing. Users don't all get the same email each week. But everyone who is new gets the week 0 email, and a week later they would get the week 2 email, while someone else in that same week who is new gets the week 0 email, etc. Is this clear? It is sort of a system where the user gets a programmed set of emails on a schedule. Does anyone know what this is called? And are there open source products or free services that support this? I think this could be very useful for new OpenOffice users. Currently we give them a huge torrent of information on the download page, and in release notes. I doubt more than 5% of the information gets absorbed because it it is too much. But if we could do it via weekly tip emails, then it we'd probably get more information across. Another approach would be via a feed that is loaded by AOO itself at first load. Many products have something like that, a tips dialog that gives a new tip every time the product starts, or once a week or something. The tip of the day. I think that something like that is less intrusive than a registration process, specially if there is a don't show again check-box. In fact, I think it is better to avoid any kind of registration process.

This snapshot includes additional languages Serbian Cyrillic and Vietnamese and further lang updates. Vietnamese is currently not available on Windows due to build problems. For creating the download package we have to use the unicode version of nsis which have support for Vietnamese. But there is some more work necessary and I won't be able investigate in this problem for this snapshot. Easy and fast switch to the unicode version doesn't work. Sorry but Vietnamese is on risk. For details please check http://people.apache.org/~jsc/developer-snapshots/snapshot/snapshot_rev1520244.htm Details of the former snapshot can be found under http://people.apache.org/~jsc/developer-snapshots/snapshot/snapshot_rev1518667.htm My plan is to finally update the languages on Monday, that means an indirect extension of the translation deadline until Sunday Sep 7th. I plan also to integrate further bug fixes until Wednesday 11th. Please work with the snapshots and report issues asap that we can take potential problems into account. With AOO 4.1 we will shift to a beta release cycle but not for the 4.0.1. There is a small problem with the md5 and sha256 files for Linux builds that makes the -c parameter fail: instead of listing the file name there is a path, for example check-sume-code /tmp/snapshots/Apache_OpenOffice_4.0.1_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_es.tar.gz instead of just check-sume-code Apache_OpenOffice_4.0.1_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_es.tar.gz Win and Mac files are OK.

I have tested all these steps. We can make a number of elegant optimizations, a) allow committers to commit directly in pootle (removes 5) b) allow committers to run svn up (req. a simple php page and removes 2,3) If someone could review the branch, it would be real nice.

2013/8/30 Jürgen Schmidt jogischm...@gmail.com Hi, we have prepared a new snapshot build for AOO 4.0.1 for Windows, MacOS and Linux based on the SNAPSHOT tag. The SNAPSHOT tag rev. 1518670 is based on revision 1518667 on branch AOO401 Working great on my system! We have started to provide Linux builds to start early testing of our builds and ensure that they can be used as replacement for Ariels builds. We build also on CentOS5 systems that should have the baseline. It seems that language packs are missing for Linux, both 32 and 64 bits on all languages. Ariel pointed out that he won't be able to deliver the builds in the future starting with the beginning of September. At this point I would like to thank you Ariel for his support in the past. I know what it means to do the builds, sign and upload it. Indeed, thanks Ariel! The wiki page is updated and for Linux you can find archive builds as well directly in the directory (not linked via the wiki). The differences between this and the last snapshot can be found under http://people.apache.org/~jsc/developer-snapshots/snapshot/izlist.htm Please note that the translation updates are not yet marked as fixed. I have taken a snapshot from Pootle to support early testing. Please add comments in the issue or mark it as fixed if no further updates via Pootle can be expected. It will help to reduce the workload on my side. I'm waiting for some feedback and then I'll mark the issue for ES translation as solved. Regards Ricardo Updated languages are: sk, nl, en-GB, es, km, pl, zh-TW, pt NOTE: the upload is ongoing, if a link is not yet working try it later. I will be offline until Monday ...

Re: Font galleries facelift

I have seen quite a few of Apache license fonts that are pretty nice Within reason (we cannot include too many fonts) and within license limitations (Apache 2 being the easiest one to integrate) we could include a few more fonts. Droid aside, do you have a short list of specific fonts (with download links and license information) worth integrating? Beside Droid and the fonts we already include (arimo, tinos, etc) it's not easy to find Apache licensed fonts: most opensource fonts use SIL license. It should be possible to include nearly any open source font with the *binaries*, but I don't really see the point. Unless one of our document templates actually uses the fonts, we're just adding clutter to the user's machine. And if we do use the new fonts from the templates then we would be introducing an interop issue, since those documents would not render perfectly with older OpenOffice version, where these new fonts would be missing. Agree IMHO, if we really think that new fonts are needed, then it would be better to do it in the form of a resource-only extension, with fonts and templates. That extension could then be installed on AOO 4.0 systems, but also earlier systems. Is it possible to install fonts as extensions? Installing fonts should be a system wide operation. On the other hand, on Linux the fonts bundled on AOO are not available system wide but installed on a folder inside AOO install path (which increase the risk of duplicated fonts on the system). For instance, I can only see Tinos or Arimo on AOO, they are not available from, say, Calligra Suite unless I explicitly tell the system to look for fonts on the AOO directory. Now that I think of it maybe less bundled fonts is better than more. Maybe it is better to just guide the user on how to properly install fonts on each system and provide a general list of where open source fonts can be found. Regards Ricardo Regards, -Rob On this page http://www.google.com/fonts/attribution there is a list of google fonts with their license. Of interest and with Apache license I can only see Open Sans and Open Sans Condensed http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Open+Sans http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Open+Sans+Condensed that are quite similar to Adobe's Source Sans Pro (which is SIL licensed), the Noto family http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Noto+Sans http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Noto+Serif and not many more: Most other Apache fonts there are only decorative. Note that I do not use those fonts on a regular basis (I'm a big fan of Libertine/Biolinum family that are dual licensed SIL+GPL with font exception), so I cannot say how good they are. But if we can include SIL licensed fonts on the search, it will be quite difficult to choose only a few :) Regards Ricardo See https://issues.apache.org/ooo/**show_bug.cgi?id=122097 https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=122097for an example of a similar enhancement issue.

If we can do that then the user will understand that this is an official website. Consistency is good for this. And then you can have a text title that says Community Support Forum or something like that. exactly I do not understand either this discussion, why not using the new existing one. Maybe tweaked to fit in the forum header Note that I'm not in favour of using a different logo on forums, but that I'm not particularly in favour of using the same either. I think there is a difference between consistent branding and plain homogeneity and that there is room for small changes without loosing the branding (underlining _small_). IMO, the discussion about the forum logo have two background points. The first one is historical: forums used a custom logo since the beginning. This is not bad for itself... nor good: it's just a fact. The second point is more technical: with the blue background the official logo will be lost. There are two ways of solving this, a change on forum header background or a custom logo: the solution used up to now. I'd consider the header as a whole to be the topic of discussion. This consists of a background color, graphical elements and text. I'd much prefer for the AOO logo to be used in the original form. If left aligned this gives a lot of space in the header to do other things. For example, if we want that lifesaver graphic, maybe that could be the three o's in Community Support Forum? Or it could be a graphic right aligned? Not bat. Maybe the lifesaver with the text community forum to the right. That add the problem of positioning the search box, though. But I think we want to use the AOO logo prominently, to reenforce in the mind of the user that they are on an official website. As you know there are so many potentially damaging websites out there pretending to be OpenOffice websites. We need to train our users to understand when they are on an official website. The branding is a key part of this. Sounds reasonable for me. Regards Ricardo Regards, -Rob User SLV-es created a new proposal (uploaded on the issue): http://forum.openoffice.org/es/forum/download/file.php?id=3926mode=view Basically, it's the official logo with the addition of the lifesaver to emphasise the idea of help.

Please look at the source SVG for 1 to 1 comparison from legacy to new one based on the current AOO Logo. Adobe's Source Sans Pro font is OLF licensed while, as Dave said, open sans is Apache Licensed. IMO, if you changed from open sans to source sans pro then Dave's question is perfectly valid. So we're all on the same page: the AOO 4.0 Logo uses Source Sans Pro. This must not be changed without discussion and PMC approval.

But now that is selected, the current name is unecessary long.

That work is incomplete. I checked it in originally, after the logo vote, so we could start working on the product integration immediately. But note that the above logo is not the one we actually used in AOO 4.0 !! The one we actually used is this one: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/branding/Apache_OpenOffice_Logo_ChrisR_selected_2013-06_Inkscape_kg.svg This was Chris R's contest logo with some minor technical changes. Kevin G. used this and generated the PNG/JPG files for AOO 4.0, which I helped check in. My intent was to take that SVG and rename it to master-logo-40.svg Again I think we do need a convention for a logo.svg as opposed to ending with a logo-30.svg logo-40.svg logo-50.svg. An just incrementally replace with the future logos as we update the SVG. Here's the complication: The old logos are still relevant some some purposes. For example, the PMC receives ongoing requests to approve use of the old OpenOffice.org logo. Why would that happen? Often it is a request by publishers who are making an e-book version of an older print book. If their original request did not include the e-book rights then they come back to us (and owners of every other image they use) to request additional permissions. I think that 'complication' is the lesser of two evils., compared to having to manage a ever growing ammount of images. And beside that, do you realize the difference in objectives between ooo-site/images/ ooo-site/marketing/art/images/ and ooo-site/branding/images. I dont see any reason why those issues should impact the web works of ooo-site/images/. That folder is for website-design related work. It has, or shouldnt hold any porpouse to archieve past work, nor to hold description of any kind. I think website should be as lean and easy to follow since we expect these conventions be followed by a rotating community. So again K.I.S.S. No, it shouldn't. The ooo-site/images areas got the logo added to it simply because to make it easier to locate it. The other images files there belong to the home page. The svg sub-directory here is really the mis-placed one. Actually I would like to see getting rid of the rasterize images instead. Modern browsers already process SVG natively without issues. Well, that's not completely true: even if not modern any more there are literally millions of people still using internet explorer 8 or even older versions, and SVG support was *partially* implemented only from IE9. IE8 needs a plug-in for SVG rendering. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Vector_Graphics#Compatibility Regards Ricardo Also there are js libraries that ensure browser compatibility like the svgweb.js library: http://code.google.com/p/svgweb/ If those complications arises, send them to marketing or branding workspaces. So it may be possible, going forward, to store logos as SVN revisions under the same name. But we cannot retroactively do this with pre-Apache logos. And even if we could, this is harder for users of the logo to access. It is much easier to have something like logo-330.svg available via HTTP. svg are just like HTML files, they are markup languages, we dont hold the index.html inmaculated and hold an apache-index.html and oracle-index.html, so I dont see why SVG should be any different. I don't agree this assessment. The svg files contain branding, or trademark sources. These are entities which should not be changed -- resulting in a trademark violation.

You used two fonts what are they and what is the license? IIRC open sans is Apache licensed. Why change? I think you missread, they were change into Sans Pro. Please look at the source SVG for 1 to 1 comparison from legacy to new one based on the current AOO Logo. Adobe's Source Sans Pro font is OLF licensed while, as Dave said, open sans is Apache Licensed. IMO, if you changed from open sans to source sans pro then Dave's question is perfectly valid.

Re: [discuss] Forum maintenance, scheduled downtime
2013/8/10 janI j...@apache.org Hi. We have now reconfigured mysql, and arist has optimized all myisam tables, so now it actually runs pretty good. BUT I would still loke to do updates, so the vm enters a maintainable status, with good stable versions. In order to that I need to schedule downtime. We had a long discussion in infra, and it is not possible to do a parallel vm, due to the size of this vm, so we have to do inline (of course with backups etc). Jira https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-6652 tracks this issue. The downtime will be in 3 blocks: 1) Patch mysql 5.1 to highest 5.1 patch level This is needed to convert tables to innodb. Approx. downtime: 2-3 hours when: a.s.a.p. 2) update ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04 and add puppet with security measured (standard infra) Approx. downtime 1 day When: next weekend 3) Update mysql to 5.6 and upgrade db. Approx. downtime 1 day When: next weekend. Any thought about this ? If anybody is strict against it, with a good reason, please give it a -1. rgds jan I. No problem from my part.

¡Hola, Alfredo! Because you are not subscribed to the list (your message was moderated) I'm adding you CC. Please, do not answer directly to me but to the list instead 2013/8/8 Alfredo García sur3...@yahoo.com Hello, I downloaded OpenOffice recently and I'm happy with it. However, I want you to know that in the Spanish language version of OpenOffice Writer there´s a mistake: in the toolbar,Herramientas - Opciones de autocorrección, in the upper left corner there's a checkbox that says: Activar la compleción de palabras. The word compleción does not exist in the Spanish language. The correct word in that case would be completamiento (Activar el completamiento de palabras). Maybe in some Spanish speaking Caribbean country you may find people who use completación, but it's still a mistake. According to the Real Academia Española, compleción is a perfectly valid word: http://buscon.rae.es/drae/?type=3val=compleci%C3%B3nval_aux=origen=REDRAE while completamiento does not exists on the dictionary.

Sorry, but I find the page hard to use.
Most people will not need any language packs, so why clutter the
table
with them?
Also if a user does want to add multiple language packs, it's hard
work finding them amongst all the full installations.
I think it would be a lot clearer for the page to be laid out
something like the following:
This was the old system and the goal was to integrate all files that
belong
to a specific language and platform.
I'm not sure that goal is particularly useful to the end-user.
If it's hard to read due to a small font size, this could be changed.
It's not the font size.
Otherwise I don't thing that it's too confusing.
Well, you are a developer working on OOo.
Only for the website, not for the source code. But maybe this is no
longer
relevant as I do this already for years.
I am trying to look at it as a non-developer who wants to download the
software.

If it is possible to provide a dynamic page, then it might be nice
to
determine the platform first (user selected; perhaps with
auto-detected default), and then use the platform to display only
the
installation sets and language packs for that platform.
The dynamic thing is not to continue the data guessing from the main
download webpage but to simplify the modification for new releases.
The other.html is a kind of fallback when:
a) the user is not able to use the green box on the previous main
download
webpage.
b) or when he is searching for a build different from the browser's
language
/ platform.
AFAICT it's also used when the user wants to add a new language, in
which case they already have the base installation.
Yes, and there are maybe some more possibilities.
As we don't know the reason(s) for a) there shouldn't be any
limitations
to
give the user the full control to find what he needs.
Yes, but that's not relevant to the issue of the page design.
And if b) it will help him as well.
Which is where the page design is very important.
The difference of full installations and language packs is described
directly above the table by your suggestion.
Yes, but I'm afraid I don't find it easy to read.
There's quite a lot of information there which is not particularly
relevant to the end user.

For tomorrow, I have a quick question :) The ES site still shows the old logo. I don't know how to find the template or even how to fix it. Tomorrow I'll review the links under información adicional, several seems outdated. This is the file that needs to be updated: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/ooo-site/trunk/content/es/brand.mdtext Thanks! Checked in. I revised that file on CMS but it seemed empty: I was fooled by the fact that there is no scroll bar on that page, so I did not see the relevant parts. I needed to zoom out the page to gain access to the lower part! Regards Ricardo It generates the recurring parts of the branding, including the logo and the announcement string and link, and a few other similar items.

They will be best served by directing them to some variation of a page like the one we have on the main website: http://www.openoffice.org/contact_us.html Why not linking directly to it then? It would be enough to add a section to http://www.openoffice.org/contact_us.html like the following: * If you have technical problems with one of the OpenOffice websites... - For problems with the www.openoffice.org site: contact dev@openoffice.apache.org and insert [Website] in the subject - For problems with the https://issues.apache.org/ooo/ site: contact aoo-bugzilla-ad...@apache.org - For problems with the wiki.openoffice.org site: contact dev@openoffice.apache.org and insert [Mwiki] in the subject - For problems with the https://translate.apache.org/ site: contact l...@openoffice.apache.org and insert [Pootle] in the subject Regards, Andrea. This suggestion looks very reasonable to me. In general also for me reasonable. But I don't want to rely on the subject prefix that the users have to insert manually. Rather, I would use some aliases to see where the mail come from. web-admin@ -- dev@ wiki-admin@ -- dev@ Marcus sounds good to me, even though I dont think it will make a huge difference' having a contact link on wiki will cause trafic, and users pr defitinition choose the easy road. Yes, users are lazy, but they also know what they want. They only write to the dev list if there is no other option that sounds closer to what they were looking for. So if we have have a page that gives them the appropriate options for support, reporting bugs, admin issues, etc., and order these appropriately on the page (most commonly needed at top), then we should do OK. The idea that Dave had was to add these items to an existing contact page that already has these other options. So the issue is that 99.99% of the visitors to a wiki page, if they have a question, will have a product support question. Some, but very few, will have an admin-related question. It is OK to tell how to get admin help, but we need to make sure that we say, in the same place, how to get product support, and make the product support more prominent by listing it first. That explains the ordering of information on the contact page: http://www.openoffice.org/contact_us.html It is not perfect, but it gets most people closer to where they want to be. which I why I wrote sounds good to me. Also, to the other idea, an alternative to a set of email aliases is to use URL's of the form: mailto:d...@openoffice.org?subject=[Pootle]. +1 that is a better idea, since we do not need to maintain extra virtual mail adresses (I did not know that trix, thats pretty cool) Yes, with this formatting it's OK. However, we should extend the contact_us.html were needed to point to this site from, e.g., Wiki or Forum. No need to create a new page for such purpose - ahm, if this was planned. ;-) I updated the webpage and added some text and links at the end: http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/contact_us.html Feel free to improve. Does a user really need to subscribe to dev@ to get e.g. help with wiki login ? I dont think that is very user friendly. Indeed. Asking users that only need to resolve one problem to expose their private email addresses on a public list is not good, but asking them to also subscribe to a list with a hundred email/day is really bad.

Re: Release communications -- plans
2013/7/18 Rob Weir robw...@apache.org The Release Notes are starting to look very nice. It is worth reviewing if you have not looked recently: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.0+Release+Notes I noticed that the gatekeeper notice is twice on the release notes and with the same text, one under known issues and the other near the end, under upgrading/installation, is that intended? Maybe the second one should be shorter, pointing to the known issues? BTW, ES translation is ready. Regards Ricardo This is the primary statement of what is in the release. The introductory sections are general enough that this page can be used as a self-contained announcement message. It doesn't require additional context. However, we will have additional announcement statements. 1) There will be a press release. This repeats a subset of the contents of the release nots, but it the format and style that is expected in a press release. Don Harbison took the lead on drafting that. 2) We should also have a brief blog post. Maybe only a paragraph or two and then a link to the Release Notes. I don't want to spend too much time on the blog post since I am almost certain the blog will crash under load. For that reason I'd recommend that we don't promote the blog page via social media, etc., Promote the Release Notes instead. In the past we've translated the blog post. But in this case I'd recommend we focus on translating the Release Notes. 3) A brief announcement to our mailing lists, including the 9000 subscribers of our announcement mailing list. Again, linking back to the Release Notes. 4) Posts to Twitter, Google+, Facebook, etc. This is something where everyone can help spread the news, by sharing, +1'ing, RT'ing,. etc. Regards, -Rob - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

The reason is quite simply, it is too late, we don't know potential other problem triggered by incorrect translation or whatever, nobody has tested this version. But as I wrote in another mail I will integrate it on trunk and we can prepare a snapshot version for testing. Sorry but the timeline were clear and I don't want to make any ad-hoc decision. and please create a task for this I see. Thanks. ^_*' And how to create a task? Sorry I haven't done that before.

Missing dictionaries on Extension website [Was Re: New version of Spanish dictionaries]
There is a rather serious problem: Almost all the Spanish dictionaries are missing from the extension repository. The links on this list http://forum.openoffice.org/es/forum/viewtopic.php?p=5709#p5709 that used to be a reference for the localized dictionaries gives page not found. On the extensions site there are only three custom dictionaries listed under Spanish and other two under Español, all of them really old and unmaintained. What happened with the 21 localized dictionaries? It seems that all the extensions from Recursos lingüísticos abiertos disappeared! Regards Ricardo 2013/7/17 Ricardo Palomares rpm_n...@lavabit.com Hi, My name is Ricardo Palomares and I'm part of the currently active team of RLA-ES [1], the project to maintain a free spelling dictionary of Spanish in different variants. It's has been a long time since our last release 0.6, in April 2012. I remember having seen the dictionary in OO.org extensions catalog, but I can't find it. Could it be that a purge has been done to remove unowned/obsolete extensions? We have the new 0.7 version available for downloading [2] and we were told around a year ago that we should use this mailing list in order to get OpenOffice.org Spanish builds to ship the dictionaries. I hope our information is still good. Since Santiago Bosio, the founder of RLA-ES, has been very busy in the last year, any pointer to the right procedures for this kind of updates will be welcome.

But compare the link you provided with the original one for the same dictionary before the site migration: http://extensions.openoffice.org/project/es_AR-dicts It seems *all* the addresses changed on the site upgrade and now it's a small challenge to find them again. In fact, I started this thread after someone from the Recursos Lingüísticos project said on l10n list he cannot find their own extensions to update to the last dictionary version! It seems the identifier for the extension is now the extension title instead of the original label.

Cwiki: use pictures attached on a different page
I started a translation for the release notes as a child page of the release notes itself https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=33295326 But pictures attached to the main release notes page are not displayed on the child page. Is there any easy way to show them? Regards Ricardo
Re: Possible show stopper on Windows 8, please verify
2013/7/16 Rob Weir robw...@apache.org snip it is not easy for me to decide at the moment. What do others think? A respin means rebuilding all platforms, signing and uploading the new files. And then another vote cycle of 72 hr. Do we need another 72-hour vote? If there are no objections I'd support making a patch without triggering a full vote. +1. No need for another vote.

Note that this page is not on svn, so only few people have access to its source (Imacat and Drew, I think). Regards Ricardo
