OK - I won't make it. However - the ESC are all behind partially funding Lanedo to work on gnumake (cf. minutes), and it seems we've had support from other SC members. I'd love a final vote on that - and quickly moving to how we can fund that - preferably not blocking on transfers etc. but funding it direct from the association, if we can't do that we need to poke SPI I suppose (which may be harder).

If this worked properly then this would be a further step in promoting ODF as a de facto open format alternative. ODF support is present in MS Office 2007 SP2 and MS Office 2010 (it even can be selected as default file format) so what would be your target? MS Office 2003 and older? It does not look reasonable to me, because by the time we develop something useable, only a minority of users will use such old versions of MS Office. I think you should keep in mind that many users of LO are folks that simply can't, or won't spend the money to buy Office 2007 (and hence also need to spend even more money to upgrade their systems in order to use it). There are *millions* of users that are still using WinXP and older versions of MS Office (think schools, libraries, individuals, small companies, government offices, etc). Granted the ideal situation would be to have all of them install LO, but we know: 1) that just isn't going to happen, 2) and even if they do install LO, they are not going to purge their existing versions of MS Office... it just doesn't work that way. An ODF plugin (like the Sun ODF Plugin) could go a long way in gaining trust for existing MS Office users, particularly if it does an LO splashscreen when starting as the Sun one does. However, I also imagine that creating/converting/maintaining such a program would be a huge amount of effort/work. So I doubt that it will happen on LO's watch think it possible only with the backing of a major ($$$) corporation such as IBM or similar. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[tdf-discuss] Fwd: new feature idea; new chart type in calc
A range chart type would be very useful for some data analysis. Attached is an image made in paint of what a range chart with two series would look like where one series is red and the other green, because both are partially transparent where they overlap is a different color. I don't think it would be all that difficult to program; another version of the bubble chart type that does rectangles where height can be set to a cell value and width can be set to a cell value, although making one series as the high value and another the low value would probably be easier from the user's prespective. -Alex. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [tdf-discuss] Next IRC QA session
Hi Sophie, a little bit late but better late than never ;-). Am 27.04.2011 17:16, schrieb Sophie Gautier: Hi all, I'm adding the dev list in cc but only for information, please follow the discussion on the tdf-discuss@list. Better to have the discussion on projects@list? I would like to organize a new IRC QA session during the RC period. The last one, hum, was a bit empty, but we won't resign ;) So I think we (I) should dedicate a bit more organization and dedication to it. What I would like to organize first is the presence of the mentors during the whole period, we should have somebody available and really on line during a dedicated period of time, even making some noise on the channel (dancing with the bot is an option, yes :) to make sure newcomers won't go away by lack of activity. So some questions: - what would be the best period (imho the Friday and Saturday is still a good idea)? - who would be available and when (on the 2 days, we will see the exact date later) ? - who would like to prepare a presentation of the different QA tasks (mostly BZ, but speaking a bit of the tests would be good too). We will fix a date and time to play it twice, once for each main time zone. Don't hesitate to make any comment or suggestion, even if it's new for you, this will help us to polish the organization. Thanks in advance The German QA-team organizes a QA-weekend on June 17th - 19th for the German-QAs [1] as they have done at OOo-times. There they make a bughunting session [2] on Saturday (18th). Why shouldn't we start a trainée around that time (4:00 pm German time and later) for international. There will be a critical mass of people who will making bughunting, searching for the curiosest bugs, EasyHacks etc. I have asked the team [3] and they want to do so as long as we don't fix them for 4:00 pm and allow them to grillen (BBQing) ;-). @Sophie: If we want to do so maybe you can contact the organisators for clearing the next steps.

[tdf-discuss] Digestmails answers with quotes not possible?
Hi all, especially those of You receiving mails as digest are requested to report. Some people reported not beeing able getting text of the mail to be quoted in the Editor area. e-letter reported this for gmail, http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.documentfoundation.discuss/5360/focus=5383 I could confirm with recent Thunderbird, but not with fairly aged kmail. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.documentfoundation.test/117 Who else has noticed alike? Just try to answer this mail if You receive mails as digest and report. You can report via gmane if it doesn't work out with Your mail client. I suspect base64 encoded content of those mails isn't of taste of some mail clients. Thanks for helping out to narrow down the problem.
