 Hi :)
 That is a very generous offer but i suspect you would have more fun and be
 more useful in other areas of the project!!


 That is your opinion. But I think it is very arrogant of you to decide for
 someone else, where he would have more fun. Also discouraging someone from
 a job that he's willing to take on, is counterproductive.


Agreed.




 You are new to the project and really should keep your options open for a
 bit longer.  Perhaps just become  more familiar with the types of posts
 that do get to this list.  It's an extremely high-traffic list so it's
 going to need a LOT of people.  For the project as a whole i think it
 would
 be better if you could be a moderator for the Devs Mailing List, not the
 Users List!


 How do you come to this conclusion? What makes you think, that he would be
 a good moderator for the dev list (which isn't even in our infrastructure)
 but not for the users list?



If you look at a random selection of typical replies, this is a
common occurrence.



 On the other hand i think Anne and others that have been here a while
 would be perfect for this list


 What makes Anne perfect for this list? I have a very hard time reading (and
 understanding) her posts. But I would never say, that she is (or is not)
 perfect for the moderator job. How you write your posts has nothing to do
 with moderating a message. It is either accepting or rejecting an email
 from someone else for the list. And being able to figure out, if an email
 is spam or not (everything that comes from *mail.ru often is).



Agreed; both these writers often publish gibberish. With such
moderation, spam is likely to increase ;)

 Honestly, I was put off by your reply to RD Vaishnav's generous offer. We
 do need more moderators on the different lists...


Would you please moderate their posts particularly? ;) Please mark
top-post spam: delete

Hi,

thank you all for your answers. In fact I take part in a larger scale
testing of interoperability of formats, since open source software is
currently considered by Slovak administration as and alternative to the
standard MS stuff. If everything goes really well, there will be a
transition period when open source (say, LO) and proprietary
applications will be used in parallel and documents in various formats
will be interchanged. Therefore, we want to understand the situation and
prepare a guide (use this feature, avoid that feature), which would help
in creating documents which can safely be opened by the other tool.

I am aware of the fact that open standards like OOXML, which are
more-or-less in hands of only one company (even if it is an ISO
standard) will always be a problem. Simultaneously, MS support of ODF
will probably never be perfect. But a state administration does not need
complex features and formatting - therefore we want to prepare the guide
which would tell them, what is safe to use.

You may want to review the following guide published by m$:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/differences-between-the-opendocument-text-odt-format-and-the-word-docx-format-HA010355788.aspx

If this is a bug in LO I will file a bug in its Bugzilla. If it is a bug
in MS2013, we will ask MS to correct that (there is a guy from Microsoft
in our team who promised to do that). If they do not correct it, it will
be a nice argument against using MSO at all.

Could you also ask your m$ guy to ask that m$ publish in public domain
all their bugs? :)
