Stopping LibreOffice related activities
Hi there! You surely have remarked that I don't have much time for LibreOffice these times. I'm announcing you that I'm retiring from any LibreOffice activity since I couldn't handle them properly. That includes GSoC administration. Continue the nice work and see you perhaps in an opensource event someday. -- Cedric ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
Google Mentor Summit report
Hi all, I have attended the Google Mentor Summit on Nov. 6th - 8th. Here is a short summary of what it has been for me. * As usual it has been a nice occasion to meet people from projects we would never have met * Had an interesting discussion on coala (http://coala-analyzer.org/) * Discovered twitter search tool loklak (http://loklak.org/). I'm not using twitter, but I'm sure this could be useful for someone ;) * Interesting chat with openkeychain guys * Good to meet Marcus and libvirt/qemu guys once again * Had a session on virtualization/containers usage in opensource projects. Our pre-built sources VM for hackfest has interested mariadb people. Nothing really new on the topic other than that. * Like every year, the chocolate and tea rooms where exceptional * This year, Google hosted us in the TechCorner, that was at a walking distance from the hotel: a really good point. * Attended the lightning talks sessions: there are always crazy projects during gsoc. -- Cedric ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

Maybe an icon beside the name inside each tab ? Maybe add an option to visually identify protected cells (dim protected cells or highlight editable cells) TBD : how/where to indicate if the whole document is protected ? - calc : - allow to easily call python/js/beanshell/.. functions from cell formula. just do =MyPythonFunction(). It would allow to easily use scientific python libraries. - show a suggestion panel for functions, just bellow the edited cell (a kind of autocomplete, with infos about function, args...) - the suggestion panel may allow to create new functions (name and arguments) and then switch to macro editor ; default code would include useful comments (some how-to, building blocks, sample codes...) - the existing function wizard should list functions from all languages (python/js/beanshell/..). TBD : how to handle documentation of user-defined macros ? - macros : - reorganize dialogs (I made a quick proposal that would need further polishing) : https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboard/Macros_Dialogs#Proposal_by_Michel_R (but the iTunes-like selector is not consistent with the current macro editor) - replace the macro editor engine with scintilla (http://www.scintilla.org/) to allow to edit easily other languages (python/js/beanshell/..) ; writing a scintilla lexer for LOBasic should not be complicated. - general: reorganize Insert menu ex with writer : https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:Michelr#Writer_:_new_Insert_menu (A consequence is that OLE embedding needs to have some visual/UX bugs corrected : I'll file bugs asap) - writer/calc : transpose the current table design sidebar panel from impress to writer and calc. It would not answer the need for table styles, but it would replace existing obsolete autoformat dialog. For calc, it would modify selected cells. The table design panel could be slightly enhanced to handle some more options (change colors, text options...) - draw: when user selects multiple shapes, there is only one visual selection (a rect with 9 green handles) around all selected objets. The problem is that user doesn't know exactly which objects are selected. Change that to have each object selected, with their own blue handles.

Hi GSoC mentors, Here are the questions you'll need to answer next week for the final evaluations. If you can't submit the evaluation yourself, please email the answers to the GSoC admins. 1. How would you rate the student’s performance on his/her project since the midterm evaluations? 1. It has improved since the midterm 2. It has stayed the same since the midterm 3. It has gotten worse since the midterm 2. Considering your student’s original project proposal, how closely does the project produced reflect the project proposed? 1. It’s almost exactly the same - there have been very few changes to the project 2. It’s similar - there have been some changes over the course of the summer 3. It’s different - we changed the goals or scope of the project 4. It’s different - the student diverged from the project plan 3. How much time have you spent on Google Summer of Code since the mid term evaluations (again, take into consideration both time mentoring the student and working on the program as a whole)? 1. 10-15 hours per week 2. 15-20 hours per week 3. 20-25 hours per week 4. 25-30 hours per week 5. 30-35 hours per week 6. 35-40 hours per week 7. 40+ hours per week 4. How does this amount of time spent on the program compare to before the midterms? 1. It’s less than before the midterms 2. It’s about the same 3. It’s more than before the midterms 5. How would you rate your student’s performance overall? 1. Excellent - amongst the best performers I’ve ever worked with 2. Strong, solid performance 3. Okay 4. Poor 6. How would you rate your experience with the program overall? 1. Excellent - one of the best programs I’ve ever participated in 2. Very good 3. Okay 4. Poor 7. If you are failing your student, please answer the next question: 8. Why did you fail the student (check all that apply) 1. the student was uncommunicative with their mentor 2. the student was uncommunicative with the project community 3. student disappeared after midterm 4. the student didn’t complete their project 5. The student did not stick to their timeline or project plan 6. The students’ work was of poor quality, in spite of our/my efforts to help them improve 7. other 9. What one thing would you tell mentors for your organization to do in the future to help the students’ experience with the program? 10. What was the most rewarding and/or difficult part of the program for you this year? 11. Is there additional information we should tell future students before applying to future programs? 12.

GSoC mid-term evaluations NOW
Hi GSoC mentors, The mid-term evaluations are just now! So, head to Google Melange and submit them before Friday. In case you really can't fill the evaluation your self, ask either your co-mentor or one of your beloved admins (Fridrich, Thorsten or myself) to do it. Below are the questions of the form. 1. How many years have you been a mentor for Google Summer of Code (Total - this doesn’t have to be consecutive)? 1. This is my first year 2. 2-3 years 3. More than 3 years 2.

To simplify the creation of Java dependencies for LO and to ease also the packaging of LO extension in Debian/Ubuntu, it would be of much help, if you could ship those pom.xml for this use case with the source. This meta information is easy and quick to generate and the only maintenance overhead is the version number increase at each LO release. You don't need to also use Maven for building LO, you just have to ship one pom.xml for one jar file. Not only Debian/Ubuntu would benefit from this little adjustment, also other projects could use the provided meta information. It would be of course even greater to have the shipped jar files together with the meta information in a online repository, whereas this is not as important as the first issue. Such a repository existed for OpenOffice before they moved to Apache (see http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.openoffice). Thanks!

Hello Adriam, You at least miss the manifest file in your sources: this will tell LibreOffice, what the jar file is a UNO component. And in that JAR file IIRC, you need to define a registration class. You can have a look at how it's implemented in the Eclipse extension: http://bosdonnat.fr/pages/libreoffice-eclipse.html Here you have an example of manifest file: https://github.com/cbosdo/coooder/blob/master/ant/manifest.xml You JAR manifest file needs to contain a special entry.

I have read through the Ideas page of LibreOffice. I have a few project ideas other than those listed there. You mostly need to find hackers wanting to mentor on these topics. 1) Writer - Bullets and Numbering button I wish to implement a bullets and numbering button in the toolbar, since it is a frequently used command. The toolbar button could be a button-cum-dropdown populated with frequently used bullet and numbering styles and an advanced button as a shortcut to the complete dialog box. This one task looks too simple for the whole summer. You may even try to work on it as an easy hack, with some help from people knowing the toolbars code. 2) Writer - Advanced Text Shadows I wish to implement advanced text shadows as a part of formatting characters. The new text shadow would be more customizable. The user will be able to control relative x, y positioning, blur radius, colour of the shadow. We could render a toolbar button for the same if possible. Looks interesting, but not that easy. It may also require you to work on an ODF change proposition. Please review the ideas and make suggestions as necessary. I hope you are aware of the fact that all application submissions need to come with a solved easy hack or fixed bug in order to be complete.

Re: curl now with native SSL/TLS on Mac and WNT
Hello Michael, Thanks a lot for updating to 7.33.0 and providing a better integration with system SSL implementation. I'm not sure curl delegates the certificates database handling completely as there is a configure option to build it with a CA bundle. So these would need to be tested on windows and macos builds before advertising. The good thing I saw this morning is that Curl guys implemented the CURLINFO_CERTINFO for NSS... after 7.33.0. The patch is here: https://github.com/bagder/curl/commit/f6c335d63f2da025a0a3efde1fe59e3bb7189b70 So I'll try to backport this patch on our internal curl: that would solve the original problem and we'll at least be able to tell the users when we have some SSL certificate problem.

There wasn't a huge crowd in the room, and it most of the attendees were LibreOffice users. We had quite some time for questions. A few interesting ones were concerning SSO. * The connection between that proprietary office suite and Alfresco was a theme that appeared in two of the keynotes. Good to know that we are ahead of them on that front. * Went to all the companies having a booth there to tell them about LibreOffice and CMIS. Gave them a few LibreOffice cards Jesus had home. It was pretty interesting since quite a few of them weren't aware of the feature. * Talked to many persons including RedPill LinPro guys reporting CMIS bugs and Alfresco developers. * Mentioned the non-standard CMIS URLs to the CMIS guys at Alfresco. Let's hope we'll find a way to get something done. * Discussed the Alfresco Cloud OAuth2 key limitations we could encounter with Jeff Potts, Luis Sala and others. I'll first need to finish integrating that feature in LO. * Discovered that Alfresco 4.2.e comes with a different binding URL to support CMIS 1.1. * Code side: * Quite a lot of improvements in libcmis to handle properties * Fixed the GDrive connection from LO.

Re: [GSoC] Character border
Hello Tamás,

As some of list members know I am not a beginner with LO. I have
already done some work mostly with localization (kill sdf and refactor

It will be great to have you working on the characters borders!
On the summer, I will wrok with Writer, making possible using
character borders. It sounds simple, but it has more sides. The first
thing that comes to mind about character border is a simple four-sided
border with the given color, width and style.
[...]
Well that is only the use case and it isn't that complex: if we can draw
the 4 borders, then any other case is pretty simple ;)
You should better see your task as the following steps:
* Change the Character properties UI to add the existing Borders
page.
* Write the borders definition into the SwFmt.
* Change the layout to paint the borders. Borders will influence the
line height and spacing between characters. This part will probably be
the trickiest one. The code to paint borders is already implemented, but
changing the layout requires you to understand it first ;)
* Persist the borders to the various filters. There is no
specification to do here as even ODF specifies these borders.
I added a bit detailed description of this feature, just to see
what territories it touch. So if anybody has ideas\advices about
painting lines\borders, adding new character attributes, extending
filters or anything linked with them, than - as the phrase goes - feel
free to write me.
I think Miklos planned to have a kick-starting session with you: we'll
be able to discuss the details there. I once had a patch for the first
step, you'll find it attached, although I'm not sure it's still useful.

Re: [Libreoffice-ux-advise] Template manager issues pending
Hi Mirek, Michel, On Sat, 2013-05-11 at 10:47 +0200, Mirek M. wrote: * The way the template manager is now is miles away from the proposed design. The proposed design was a simple iCloud/Gnome Documents-like template launcher with a two level hierarchy. [1][2] The current implementation is a more conventional complex Explorer-like file manager with unlimited hierarchy. Given that I wasn't in favor of the shift in focus to organizing templates rather than creating new documents from templates, I'm not the best person to design for the dialog. Allowing multiple levels in the hierarchy is only a plan ATM as there is still some work to do on it to have it working. Local templates are also not supposed to have more than 2 levels of hierarchy and this is defined by the UNO API for handling templates (not the template manager). The dialog seems to support only a two level hierarchy, so it's not compatible with the current template manager folder structure. It is completely compatible: the folder structure for local template hasn't changed. 61396 - FILEOPEN: [Template Manager]Possibility to edit a template that is not in the repository, is lacking I saw a comment with the proposal : when a user does Open from the File menu and selects a template, then LO should open the template ; instead of creating a new file from the template. It seems to be a coherent behavior : the user selects the command open so LO must open. When the user selects new from template, then LO must create a new file from a template. Sounds good. If everyone agrees on that, then it should be pretty quick to fix. If you really want to prevent modification of bad file, maybe add an dialog asking confirmation : Do you really want to open the template 'test.ott' ? or create a new file from this template ? Perhaps an infobar might be better? Yes, InfoBar is the thing to use here. and related 59427 - [Template Manager] low discoverability of new template manager - we could use File → Organize templates menu I agree Still on the todo-list, sadly didn't manage to come to it. -- Cedric ___ Libreoffice-ux-advise mailing list Libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-ux-advise

I tried hard to make them work and just couldnt get them to build (trying it

Windows, just to make things more interesting). Right now, it is orders of
magnitude easier to just work on core repo that to try write UNO-stuff against
a standalone SDK. As contributors might assume otherwise ('If building an
extension is this hard, working on the core product must be impossible') this
kills us possible contributors.
I would be all for your point.
So right now:
- C++ extensions are essentially useless: they have a higher barrier to entry
than the core product
- Python extensions have the lowest barrier to entry
Yeah, pushing for Java and Python extensions is good as it would target
almost all the potential extension developers.
To push people to hack on python extensions, we would need to provide
them tools and documentation to do it. While documentation is a possibly
a matter of gathering nice examples and updating old pyuno docs,
providing tools is different. IMHO what would be needed:
* make uno-skeletonmaker generate python code skeleton
* add python support to ooeclipse using pydev (or add UNO support to a
python IDE)

As a first step, I removed all tasks that were done (or almost done) last year or without potential mentors assigned. Please go to the wiki page and edit your projects ideas to fit today's reality. There are projects like the Android UI or the MSPub import filter that may need some more work, feel free to add them back again with an updated description / title. You can also come up with great new ideas.

And moving the old menu upper would have moved some other (potentially more important item) down. There is some positive perspective in this thought indeed. But first users need to discover that.

In a not so far future (but not for 4.0.x) I'ld love to see the whole sub-menu merged into the new Template Dialog, which may bring the consistency you're missing. Besides that: the old dialog also offerd Organise and Edit options (of course in a indirect and not so good and pretty way as now, but it was there.) Organise and Edit options are also in the new Template manager dialog. But in the old situation the users also find Edit and Organise in the menu File New Templates and documents. The old menu's features are either in the new dialog or in other places of the UI: that's why the whole submenu and it's content was dropped. See previous remark. Old features already where there. In this, I still fail to see a good argument why the old sub-menu is dropped.
