Companies hire a dev or few and then give them the task of working on LibreOffice. in the Uk we sometimes describe it by saying they are "on secondment" although that's possibly only in the military. Your company hires your own devs (perhaps part-time?) and tells them what to work on. They would still need to do 1 or 2 of the "Easy hacks" to help familiarise them with the rest of the team (which comprises of many devs "on secondment" from many different companies along with individual volunteers working for no reward). The paid devs could be directed to work on other projects or to split their time between LO and other projects. Hello and tks for replying. Actually, I just need one specifc enhancement implemented. So I think it's not the case of hiring someone for a long time, but just for a "bug fix". It's a one-time job only. There are "cloud sourcing" sites where people promise to pay a much smaller amount for a specific bug to be fixed or for a specific feature to be added. If several people offer rewards for the same bug or feature then it might add up to quite a decent amount. Even if you are the first to offer a reward then it might start to attract other people's attention. Yes, I've opened both the repot in the bug tracker and also a entry on bountysource.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc: help with VLOOKUP
Take a look at the Help entry for vlookup. That entry begins with the first 3 lines: Vertical search with reference to adjacent cells to the right. This function checks if a specific value _is contained in the first column of an array_. The function then returns the value in the same row of the column named by Index. Underlining added. In other words, it looks for values in the first column of the named array, then returns the value in the same row in whatever column you tell it to (the "Index" column). I'm sure it could be stated more clearly and more specifically in the details of the Help entry, but it's there. A few hints for vlookups: I find I usually want to add "hard" references for the array so that it always looks at the intended rows of the array. To do that, you need to add $ before each cell reference in the array. So if the array of the function is A1:C100, I enter it as $A$1:$C$100. This forces vlookup to always look at those cells regardless of what row the calculation is happening on. Without this fixed reference, as the vlookup moves to new cells (e.g. down a column) the array will also shift down. So for example, if the looked up value is in cell D1 and the vlookup formula is in E1, the above array will be searched. But if you then copy that function down column E, each cell you move down will shift the Array down as a relative reference. That is, on line E2, the vlookup will look at D2, then search for that value in the array A2:C101 (not the originally intended A1:C100). On row 201, the vlookup in E201 will look at the value in D201 and search for it in the array A201:C300. If the values you want to search through are only in A1:C100, then your lookup won't find a match...ever. The $ "hard" references prevent this. Finally, be mindful of the implications of the sort order variable in the function. If it is 1 or TRUE, the array must be sorted ascending, and the function returns the nearest value "below" or "before" the looked up value. If you want to force it to return only exact matches and/or don't want to or can't sort the array, be sure to set sort order to 0 or FALSE.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Problems between LO and CUPS
Hi Malcolm, I haven't had the same issue as described in this thread, but it may be related. I'm running Ubuntu 13.10 and LibreOffice 4.1.5.3 presently. This situation has happened with all Ubuntu versions and LibreOffice versions in the last at least year and a half, as I update Ubuntu every 6 months, and update LibreOffice running the latest stable version from The Document Foundation as they come out. It has happened on at least 4 different printers. If I am printing multiple copies of a document in LibreOffice, lets say 10 copies, LibreOffice instead of sending 1 print job to the printer telling the printer to make 10 copies, it sends 10 different print jobs to the printer printing 1 copy of each. All other programs I run in Ubuntu send 1 print job for the multiple copies. I found this out by attempting to print 50 copies of a two page document about a year and a half ago, which overwhelmed the printer, and then Ubuntu. If I make a pdf of the document, and then through the document viewer print 50 copies of the same document, it sends one print job telling the printer to print it 50 times. So there is something with LibreOffice and printing in Ubuntu at least, which works differently than all other Linux programs I have used in Ubuntu.

On 02/14/2014 09:32 AM, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) If this is for an article then i am not sure we can really help. Mostly we are all just volunteers and can't give the TDF's official stand-point on any of this. All we can give is anecdotes which doesn't really count as proof! Over the years we have often heard about problems with the MS format on this mailing list but very seldom heard about problems with our format on their systems! Quite why the problems weren't being raised as bug-reports against MS's apparently poor implementation is a bit of a mystery. MS admit to making "accidental" mistakes in their implementation of their own format and we get the blame. It was the same with the Rtf format and even now that MS have lost the court case about their 'accidents' with Rtf people still seem to think that everyone else was to blame. It might be interesting to compare the similarity of the promises for interoperability made by MS for both formats over the years and the types of 'accidents' that both formats have suffered. We know for certain that Excel 2010 and previous versions of MSO implemented ODF support so badly that formulas got replaced by hard-coded values. However, over the years this only got reported to us 1 or 2 times. What we don't know is whether people experienced the problem and took it as a sign to avoid Open Document Formats in favour of proprietary implementations of other formats or whether people were simply not using ODF much at all and so never noticed the problem. Perhaps people expected formats to only work on the systems they were written in, ie that the much vaunted "interoperability" was a complete myth and only applied to machines running the same OS and the same version of the same programs. That certainly seems to be the prevelant attitude amongst office workers i work with. Anyway, i personally think MS Office is only just attempting to correctly implement the format because ODF is only just beginning to be used widely enough that people are beginning to question why it works so well on everything except MS's stuff.

Re: [libreoffice-users] status of Microsoft Office compliance with ODF support?
Hi :) If this is for an article then i am not sure we can really help. Mostly we are all just volunteers and can't give the TDF's official stand-point on any of this. All we can give is anecdotes which doesn't really count as proof! Over the years we have often heard about problems with the MS format on this mailing list but very seldom heard about problems with our format on their systems! Quite why the problems weren't being raised as bug-reports against MS's apparently poor implementation is a bit of a mystery. MS admit to making "accidental" mistakes in their implementation of their own format and we get the blame. It was the same with the Rtf format and even now that MS have lost the court case about their 'accidents' with Rtf people still seem to think that everyone else was to blame. It might be interesting to compare the similarity of the promises for interoperability made by MS for both formats over the years and the types of 'accidents' that both formats have suffered. We know for certain that Excel 2010 and previous versions of MSO implemented ODF support so badly that formulas got replaced by hard-coded values. However, over the years this only got reported to us 1 or 2 times. What we don't know is whether people experienced the problem and took it as a sign to avoid Open Document Formats in favour of proprietary implementations of other formats or whether people were simply not using ODF much at all and so never noticed the problem. Perhaps people expected formats to only work on the systems they were written in, ie that the much vaunted "interoperability" was a complete myth and only applied to machines running the same OS and the same version of the same programs. That certainly seems to be the prevelant attitude amongst office workers i work with. Anyway, i personally think MS Office is only just attempting to correctly implement the format because ODF is only just beginning to be used widely enough that people are beginning to question why it works so well on everything except MS's stuff.

Same for LibreOffice; there's properties dialog everywhere, multiple levels of styles, and not-always intuitive page management, but when you learn a bit about it it's ok. And in both case, doing anything that's more advanced will require more learning. Setting up the "best" template for your work can be tedious with any tools, LO and latex included. But writing a ~100 lines latex class file to match an (imposed) template is as tedious as setting the correct chain of styles in LO... Regarding the "greater control" statement, it's the same. You can have a lot of control in both, but it's gonna be some work. But I'll concede, one of latex advantages is that it have sensible default settings for various usages :) Excellent summary, and I fully agree. In terms of ease of use, I find that with a program like LO, I can (usually) figure something out by navigating the menus. With LaTeX, I'm performing Google searches to find out the proper syntax to use in preamble commands. I think my LaTeX distribution came with some 1200 document files explaining the various packages etc. If I recall correctly, the documentation for the Microtype package is over 200 letter size pages. The FancyHdr documentation is equally daunting, but necessary to read if you want to customize your headers and footers. With LO, just put the cursor in the footer and type what you want. The wysiwyg interface does make things easier. And, then there's all those surprises on compilation. I recently did a document with several references to dollar figures. The program reminded me that I had to put a "\" in front of every dollar sign "$" because LaTeX translates dollar signs into a special code. With LO, I don't have to worry about those things. All that said, I do truly love LaTeX. I enjoy working with pure text files (very little risk of file corruption) and that final output just can't be beat.
