Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Top posting
Hi :) I think that is fair enough. The 2 worst case scenarios i can see as a result are 1. A questionner gets 2 almost identical answer or the same advice given in 2 different ways. 2. A questionner gets 2 completely different answers going in different directions Both are actually quite positive. In 2 the questionner gets to pick and choose which answer they like or they get to try both ways. In 1 the questionner is given greater confidence in the answer and maybe has a greater understanding of how to deal with side-issues. Both cases occur anyway and that is part of the advantage of having a public list. No-one can get along well with everyone all the time. If we all did then there would be substantial less great and inspiring art, literature, innovations and all the rest. So, i think it is all good.

Hi :) Official documentation, 3rd party documentation, official wiki-guides, 3rd party wiki-pages and blogs, distro-specific documentation (and wiki-guides and blogs) are all better and easier to search through than old archives of mailing lists for a product that develops so fast that answers get outdated so quickly. It would be really fantastic if people could take valuable advice given in the lists and update the wiki-guides. It would be even better if the person that took the advice and found it worked did the update as they probably noticed details that old-timers may not have considered significant.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Too many sheets?
Hi :) Wow! That really does sound like something that would be better handled by a database. Plus it sounds as though you have already made the most difficult step that most people have with databases which is the conceptualisation in your brain. Most people never get that far. Please forgive me my excitement but i just thought this was a heavy and intractable spreadsheet issue which i tend to find very, very dull. The Start sheet would be the table of data. All the other sheets would be Forms/Reports built up from Queries. Initially people would probably feel more comfortable using the Queries directly as they look like a spreadsheet. FormsReports display the same info in a prettier gui so they might get built-up later. Queries are probably easier to work with and are clearer about exactly how they choose which data to show from the table. It's probably easier to modify or tweak Queries if things change in the future. I take it the information in Start is confidential? Is it possible for you to let us see the formulas of 1 or 2 of the other sheets? or even just a couple of the formulae from 1 of the sheets that reads the data? This list doesn't handle attachments so either copy and paste a couple directly into email/message or use Nabble?

[libreoffice-users] Re: Too many sheets?
Hi :) One advantage of using a database should be greater stability partly due to less ram getting used up. There might be other things like greater control, multi-user (maybe, but i'm not certain), maybe smaller file-size. Vic20 had 16kb of memory. I had a ZX81 and eventually got a 16Kb extension pack that plugged into the back of it. It kept making the machine crash. Accepted wisdom at the time was roughly the same as the cure for a wobbly table. We put a book under the computer and let the expansion pack hang loosely off the back. Magically no more crashes. Well, not so many. http://oldcomputers.net/zx81.html Yes, have a good weekend and don't worry about not replying until Monday or whenever. The thread stays here.

Does anyone know good answers? This is about corporate deployment right? There is an excellent wiki in the OpenOffice wiki and presumably it's still good for LibreOffice? Sorry i have lost track of it again Apols and regards from Tom :) The Bugzilla report https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45750 fully addresses issue, have a read. Andreas was referred there for a work around with the 3.5.0 Windows installer which has issues dealing with language codes for not present languages. He's not posted back so assume he's resolved things. Also, per the Bug report, the DEV maintainer will be patching Windows builds for issues caused by packaging changes with the Windows installer. At 3.5.0 deployment now use a single Microsoft Installer packaging (.MSI) rather than a two stage executable (.EXE). I'd expect the patch should address needs of volume deployments from administrative installs using GPO from SCCM or similar management environments.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Top posting
Frankly listservs make very poor knowledge bases for the obvious reasons, hence the efforts by some in other communities to distill the problem/resolution couplet into dynamic online docs where a user will find current comprehensive succinct and useful information.

A questionner gets 2 almost identical answer or the same advice given in 2 different ways. 2. A questionner gets 2 completely different answers going in different directions Both are actually quite positive. In 2 the questionner gets to pick and choose which answer they like or they get to try both ways. In 1 the questionner is given greater confidence in the answer and maybe has a greater understanding of how to deal with side-issues. Both cases occur anyway and that is part of the advantage of having a public list. No-one can get along well with everyone all the time. If we all did then there would be substantial less great and inspiring art, literature, innovations and all the rest. So, i think it is all good.

Cold but effective. Perhaps you misunderstood what I meant.

Such distilled couplets are a great resource provided they're kept up to date--which in my experience they often aren't. Or even, somebody sees such a couplet, but dated several years ago, and then posts to a mailing list to make sure it's still correct: you get the worst of both worlds. So yes, mailing lists do make poor knowledge bases--but then, they're not meant to be knowledge bases (or, for that matter, a substitute from reading actual documentation).
