[libreoffice-marketing] IBM Symphony

2013-03-10 Thread Dennis Roczek
I still wonder as an end user, if something happened related to any
merges of the IBM Lotus Symphony merge. I know that the suite was
sponsored to AOO, but did/do our developers overtaking any patches and
any source code of that project? At least IBM is hard working and
merging many patches into AOO as Rob explained in the official blog at
https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/merging_lotus_symphony_allegro_moderato

I know that many bugs are also still in LO because I tested for
example the docx examples which are listed at the AOO wiki.

I wonder if we also overtaking the bug fixes and if we have any wiki
page (or bug ticket) and tracking the changes? Wouldn't that be also
something we could use for publishing? Something like oh both
projects work somehow together?

Regards,
Dennis

[libreoffice-marketing] Bounty Board

2013-01-19 Thread Dennis Roczek
Hello mailinglist!
this is my first here, so bear with me if I'm doing something wrong. I
was writing with Florian Effenberger and he wanted me to post here my idea.

I'm rather active at the English Wikipedia and they have there a so
called 'Bounty Board'. [1]

On that wikipage everybody is able to post his wish which article should
be improved to a certain
quality level or that an article is created for a reward. The rewards
look different. The most chosed rewards are:

* a donation to the Wikimedia Foundation (which is the foundation behind
Wikipedia),
* a 'donation' to the improver,
* an improvement to any other article (often bounded to a genre).

I think this system would also work for LibreOffice. I know that at
least some users would pay money if a particular bug is resolved or any
wished improvements are made.

The solution to offer such 'bounties' at the English Wikipedia was
created by other English contributors, so the technical solution is
rather bad, but with a small bunch of PHP code this could be rather a
great board: All is need is a small table in a database.

Moreover I thought this could be added to as an extension to the bug
submission wizard which has nearly all relevant parts.

Any thoughts? I heard there were already two attempts (before LO
existed), but failed. I think we could do it better!

Regards,
Dennis Roczek

 it's nice, yes.  some people have been talking until now about some
 ideas proposed such as a libreoffice 'brainstorming'  or  'easy
 hack'(done on website or on google pages or facebbok), such as
 done by AOO or the ubuntu community. Many things are feasible; maybe
 the main problem is finding a number of people interested in.

 I think this system would also work for LibreOffice. I know that at
 least some users would pay money if a particular bug is resolved or any
 wished improvements are made.

 it's possible, yes, but I am not sure. for sure it would increase
 partecipation. rewards could be made in different ways (eg a prize for
 the most voted or innovative improvements).  another possible option
 could be something like (involving universities) giving students
 prizes for dissertations or thesis one the topics needed by the
 foundation (marketing subjects or technical solutions).

That sounds also very interesting. The Wikimedia Foundation has their
hands in many universities and is helping some students to get their
thesis working. (e.g. with special rights like the researcher right to
increase the API limit from 50 to 500) I guess setting up a page with
tasks and a contact person similar to the Google of Summer Code is
easily achieved - although for that kind of stuff a simple Wiki page is
enough.

I see the need and I understand that there are limited resources, but I
still think that a easy and handy formular and overview page would some
newly / potential developers get into the project simply because they
want to earn some additional money.
