You can add, optionally, some check boxes to activate for mailing list subscriptions, eg. user, discuss, announce, and so on, so that the user who subscribe can receive info and news. This could be an idea, also. +1 Maybe such a popup, asking whether one would like to register and/or send usage data, should be activated a bit later than right after installation ? First time users may think it's a bit bullying/alienating having this coming up right after installation. If this pops up after some days or a certain number of launches, then the users have become a bit accustomed to the software and may thus be a bit less overwhelmed by this additional information. +1 regards, Erich -- Unsubscribe instructions: Email to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines: http://netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html Archive: http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived ***

Re: [tdf-discuss] Survey|Opinion - LibreOffice Install and Update
Am 09.10.2010 23:23, schrieb Scott Furry: As suggested, this post is intended to get the opinion of the community about how best to deliver LibreOffice to its users. Maybe a new thread for the survey would be helpful to get attention from those not following the install thread. [...] --- This survey is to gauge the views of the LibreOffice community on the install/update method of LibreOffice. Please voice your opinion so that these considerations may be taken into account when the LibreOffice method of install/update is studied by the developer team. Please *bottom-post* your opinions. Me and my customers are mainly using Win XP, Vista and 7 so I'm used to irritation/questions/complaints on the leftovers. How do you expect LibreOffice to be updated? Preferrably by incremental update similar to e.g. Firefox. How do you Install/Update LibreOffice? Installer download and manually removing leftover files, there have been no updates so far. What do you expect when Installing/Updating LibreOffice? It should NOT overwrite an existing OOo install and just grab the existing user files as it happened now. Updates should be incremental, notified and downloaded in the background but let the user choose when to install. Necessary files should go to a temp folder and preferably be removed by the installer after completion. Other programs have separate updating programs (iTunes being an example), if it was technically feasible, would having a separate install program for LibreOffice (with updating features) be useful to you? Yes, it could replace the extensions updater and offer a choice which parts of LO should be updated. Would having a download and update site, as well as a Unix|Linux package repository site, be of value to you? Certainly yes, a very useful example is http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/. So let's hear what you think folks? done Erich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted.

I am sure that they have very good reasons, thus my questioning the statements that have be credited to Oracle. As I see it if the community does not move on it will fail.

Re: [tdf-discuss] dvd/cd-rom

I can not speak for others but as a member of the OOo CD-Rom project I am ready to provide LO disk as well, when LO is out of Beta. Until such time as Oracle makes up their mind how this will play out I will support both LO and OOo. Good to hear :-) There's a different situation in our case, the german dvd/cd-roms use a complex GUI in xhtml (win disks come with an onboard k-meleon browser and installation feature via menu) and would need a complete redesign of CSS and content for 3.3 and we can hardly handle both - so we agreed to concentrate on LO for now. We are thinking of a new maybe CMS based structure of the GUI which is exported on demand on a disk and should be easy to translate and filled with localized content - useful for all. Naturally the english version is in place for a prototype and the content is on your isos already. The new GUI could be very basic with just necessary text for it could easily be approved even step by step via CSS. Once we have localized versions of LO the language teams could manage their texts and content on paralell versions of the localized GUI and folder tree online and export a static snapshot-iso on demand. Looking forward to your comments and a better cooperation ever.

Re: [tdf-discuss] Old welcome message after installing LibreOffice
Hi, Am 28.09.2010 22:36, schrieb Jesús Corrius: Do you have an old language pack installed? No, in my case there was a localized 3.2.1_de installed, which was overwritten which I do not appreciate for a beta behaviour. Has this been in your sense or is it a bug? LibreOffice can use old installed language packs of OpenOffice.org previously installed in your system. It happened to me in my testing machine, but I don't know if we can call this a bug :) :-) well... I assumed there's a difference between a localized version of OOo and a version which is 'enhanced' with a separate langpack... What I did not expect at all is the overwriting of a stable OOo install and grabbing the OOo-user by a LO beta - I'd rather expect they would install besides each other, creating a new user like the OOoDev versions did.
