Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Additional Platforms - 3rd Party Support Pamphlet

2011-05-28 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
Most projects use terms such as stable, development, testing to signify 
whether a release is stable enough for systems that don't want to be upgraded 
or 
updated often as opposed to systems that can afford to be bleeding edge to 
get 
additional functionality early.  


SliTaz uses Cooking to signify it's development/testing release but i think 
it's better to stick with the terms used by most other projects.  SliTaz's 
Cooking is cute but they also use Stable so people know what they are 
getting.  


There are some concepts in the leaflet that might be new to some people but are 
well explained elsewhere.  These do not need to be re-explained in any great 
detail in the pamphlet.  If people have questions then they can ask us or 
search 
out answers elsewhere, such as their local library or on-line search engines.

For example the Cathedral and Bazaar methods of software development.  To 
quote Wikipedia's page about the essay ... 

The essay's central thesis is Raymond's proposition that given enough 
eyeballs, all bugs are shallow (which he terms Linus' Law): the more widely 
available the source code is for public testing, scrutiny, and experimentation, 
 
the more rapidly all forms of bugs will be discovered. In contrast,  Raymond 
claims that an inordinate amount of time and energy must be  spent hunting for 
bugs in the Cathedral model, since the working version  of the code is 
available 
only to a few developers.

Perhaps the short given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow might be enough 
of a hint.  Even though it is a bit cryptic a google search on that gives good 
results.

Regards from
Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] bug report for OOo images in LibO (was: Re: Additional Platforms...)

Hi Tom, Marc, all,

please see my comments below the related text.

I moved your posting to the place where I could remove all the unrelated
parts of the previous mails. This way every reader (even in future when
searching the archives) will be able to get the message very easily and
without loss of time...

Actually - LibreOffice spell checking issue

Have you seen on the DEB 64-bit LibreOffice that the spelling
pop-up used the OOo seagull image instead of the LO image? [...]


In my present version of LibO 3.3.2 on Ubuntu 32bit (LibreOffice 3.3.2
OOO330m19 (Build:202) tag libreoffice-3.3.2.2, Ubuntu package 
1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5) all the pop-up windows show the OOo icon in the top 
left corner.


But in the new RC2 for LibreOffice 3.4.0 they show the LibreOffice 
favicon, so this bug seems to be fixed now.


Hi Tim

This is something you should perhaps post on the user list to see
if anyone else has the same happening on their installation. I know
that there is/was an issue with the Quickstarter showing the old
OOo icon if the previous version installed was OOo before
LibreOffice was installed.

I'm not sure if the bug has been fixed.


Or the devs list or post a bug-report about it?


Please don't use the dev list for bug reports - at least, if you don't 
want to fix the bug by yourself. They should be reported to bugzilla.


Clearing this sort of thing is on-going and will be for quite a long
time i would guess.


We already have a bug report for these kind of issues:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33229

If you find any place where OOo symbols and icons should be replaced by 
LibreOffice graphics, please check the last build available and add a 
comment to this issue.


Thanks in advance!

Best regards

Bernhard
