wollmux-conf-service is a server side helper to deliver user specific 
conf files (to avoid deploying different wollmux.conf manually).


The local wollmux config must have a URL pointing to the config server 
and then WollMux will query the given URL 
 
to retrieve the config for the current user.


So the wollmux-conf-service 
 repo is still relevant 
and should also be migrated over to the LibreOffice GitHub organization.

The global discuss list has many more subscribers (more than the double) 
than this list, so I think you are right that it would be more suitable 
for this discussion.


Something else - does anybody see the need for a dedicated wollmux
mailing list? I didn't ask for one (and actually try to avoid silo-ed
low-traffic email lists, and nudge people onto the main dev list), but
not strictly against one either. The old wollmux project had one at
joinup IIRC, but it's dormant since a long time.


As we are pushing for Community forum, maybe this is a good candidate 
for a category here (if it is seen as needed of course)?

Re: [board-discuss] WollMux adoption proposal for The Document Foundation

[marina latini]

Hello Thorsten, hi all,

Thanks for taking care of those changes. I have a doubt that I would like to 
clarify before starting to have contributors pushing changes to this new place.

The WollMux repos are now under the LibreOffice GitHub organisation that, to my 
understanding, should be just a read only mirror from our git instance hosting 
the LibreOffice source code. 

We also have a different organisation (https://github.com/tdf) where we moved 
in the past the ODFtoolkit. The same place is also hosting other tools and 
collateral repos like the LibreOffice metadata.
I'm wondering if the TDF organisation could be a better place for WollMux 
instead of the LibreOffice one. 

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Marina

This has happened meanwhile:

- WollMux - https://github.com/LibreOffice/WollMux
- UnoHelper - https://github.com/LibreOffice/UNOHelper
- wollmux-config - https://github.com/LibreOffice/wollmux-config

I've renamed 'master' branch to 'main' for all three repos. FWICT
github will issue a useful warning if you accidentally try to push
into master. All pending pull requests got auto-transmogrified, with
the new branch name as destination.

Leaving behind all archived repos under https://github.com/WollMux,
plus the following, defacto dormant ones:

- WollMuxHandbuch (now moved into the wiki - we should probably set
  the 'archived' flag on the repo, to avoid content diverging?)

- wollmux-core (not needed for main anymore, nor in 18.2 - I'd also
  prefer this to somehow stated that more clearly, or perhaps also
  archive it?)

- wollmux-config-service (not used in WollMux yet, might be
  effectively abandoned - Björn, what do you think?)

..and we made some progress on the translation front already - after
talking to Sophie and Ilmari, the originally-German WollMux handbook
is now (almost) converted to translatable mediawiki content, with the
source language being English.

See the work-in-progress from Gabor linked from here:

 https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/WollMux/en

Since there seems to be no general concerns, I'd then use the quiet
period next week, to switch the github repos over to the libreoffice
org. After that, we can look into the Jenkins setup.

To clarify - my expectation is, once the project would be at TDF's,

All current PRs against master are in English already.

There are a few German ones left which are against the 18.2 branch
which is still maintained by LHM. Over time, these should be merged or
closed. Sure, any contributor can port those PRs against master, and
then they should be filed in English of course.


Thanks for the clarification :)
And, just to spell it out, I have nothing against German, it's just that 
having PRs and issues in English could increase that chance to involve 
more contributors. But for sure, I don't want to add extra work for the 
maintainers just for having things translated from German to English ;)




But yeah, my preference would be switching also the existing ones to

I think it does make sense to either use the Cloud version of

yep, from my experience, sonarcloud seems to be good too.

REUSE is AFAIK working with already-existing metadata. I did run
scancode a while ago without anything surprising sticking out, but
it's a good point to run it again, before any possible final switch.

I can ask LHM if that is an option. But would we really need that?
LibreOffice itself only has the core code (mostly) under MPL. The
binary itself has a massive bouquet of other licenses, and other
libraries TDF is hosting, feature licenses ranging from GPL to ASL or
BSD.

Ah yep, thx for mentioning. That's an easy fix, and I'll also run the
usual greps regarding other anachronisms in the code. Branch rename
might though only happen immediately before or after the move (if/when
approved).

At least for the foreseeable future, we (allotropia) can look into any
security reports. If/when the move happens, my suggestion would be
reporting to secur...@documentfoundation.org, just like for DLP and
LibreOffice. The only relevant issues over the time I see there is
third party stuff, e.g. WollMux was affected by the log4j fallout.

I'd also leave that to the maintainers, and our infra team. SonarQube
needs an extra server (I think), and has an opencore business model -
so whether that's a good fit for TDF infra needs discussion.

I would not expect that. Then again, the effort (after initial

Pretty sure that's stale. Then again, the OXT has this:

# Topic: localization
The proposal mentions the move of the localization to Weblate. There's 
also an open issue intended for modernizing the localization environment 
from "one config file" to .po files[10].
Which is the potential timeline for having the localization on Weblate? 
Is there any ongoing discussion with the L10N team at LibreOffice? 
Should the L10N community consider also WollMux as a priority project to 
be translated with high priority like LibreOffice (UI, Help, Guides)?


There is no discussion currently on the l10n list. In my view it's not 
needed right now as there is a lot of translation that have to happen in 
the code (and we are not far from a major release too).
Thorsten confirmed yesterday that it's an extension. Our l10n team 
doesn't translate external extensions or it will be a never ending work 
that could hamper translation of UI and help files with any extension 
creator requesting translation.
What is possible and already happened, is to post the request for 
translation to the l10n list with a link to the files. That way, it 
doesn't make the translation mandatory for the teams like UI and help are.

Dear community,


Hello Thorsten, hello all,


as announced during LibOCon, and subsequently discussed in the ESC,
here's the formal adoption proposal for the "WollMux" template / form
letter / mail merge engine / Java extension, from the City of Munich.

Reply-To: board-discuss please, unless there's technical questions to
discuss (for those, I copy the developer list).



I would like to ask some questions but I'm keeping the dev-list out for 
not disturbing them.
@Thorsten, please, feel free to pull the dev list again in if you think 
that their feedback is needed too.


My memory of WollMux is a bit rusty and I had a look at the source code 
on GitHub[0].


# Topic: license
The license is "EUPL-1.1" but looking at some of the subfolders I found 
for example also mentions to GNU LGPLv2 [1].
Did the ESC (or anyone else) make an analysis of the source code looking 
for other licenses mentioned? Could it be possible to make use of the 
REUSE[2] project started by FSFE?
In the potential move under the TDF umbrella, is there any plan to also 
re-license it following the usual licenses of LibreOffice?


# Topic: naming and conventions

I'm aware that there's an ongoing translation from German to English.
In this translation and renaming, is there any plan/agreement to also 
look at harmful and exclusionary language[3]?
For example, looking at the GitHub project the main branch is called 
"master".
Some comments are also affected by a similar non inclusive writing like 
for example here [4] where the comment states "the bookmarks aren't 
deleted and the user is request to confirm, that he wants to create a" 
and there's the assumption that the user can be only a male.


# Topic: pull requests and issues

## pull requests
As per today, there are  8 open pull requests[5] and some of them are in 
German. Is there any  plan to translate the content or close the PRs in 
German and reopen new PRs in English?
Some of the existing pull requests use a tag "trac" but I could't find 
any reference to this naming convention? Is this something private that 
the mentioned maintainers from 2 organizations will take care of 
document? Could it be possible to know more about those tags?


## issues
As per today, there are 14 open issues[6] and some of them are in 
German. Like for the case of the pull requests, is there any plan to 
translate the content or close the issues in German and reopen new 
issues in English?


# Topic: security
The security policy[7] seems to be not defined. Which is the agreement 
here? Are the two mentioned maintainers supposed to take over everything 
or WollMux will also be covered by the LibreOffice security[8] policy? 
With that amount of lines of code I suppose the ESC should have a clear 
view of the status of the project.
The jenkinsfile is mentioning the integration with SonarQube[9]  for the 
the security scans, is there  any plan to also move the SonarQube setup 
under the TDF infra?


# Topic: localization

from "one config file" to .po files[10].
Which is the potential timeline for having the localization on Weblate? 
Is there any ongoing discussion with the L10N team at LibreOffice? 
Should the L10N community consider also WollMux as a priority project to 
be translated with high priority like LibreOffice (UI, Help, Guides)?


# Topic: support
The main WollmMux website[11] has  a link to a catalog on JoinUp[12] 
that describes WollMux as an extension for OpenOffice. Is this just an 
old catalog description or WollMux is really intended for working with 
both LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice (and it will need to support 
both?)

On which operating systems WollMux is suppose to be supported?

Thanks a lot for your feedback.
Happy hacking,
Marina

No, not at all, just needs someone updating it there (an older release
is available already:
https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/wollmux).

It is not massive (but it's still large enough that we'd like to ask
people to jump in & help). Code has around 80 kLOC, but quite a lot of
the main sources are already in English (comments, variable names, test
assertion outputs etc).

Documentation is in markdown, and currently only in German. Looking at
the most recent version (for 18.2), this is the size:

 $ find WollMuxHandbuch/markdown/18.2 -iname '*.md' | xargs wc
...
 lines: 9870  words: 86501 in total

Best,

WollMux 18.2.10
(https://github.com/WollMux/WollMux/releases/tag/RELEASE_18.2.10), the
latest release, is only tested to work with LibreOffice 6.4.

For 7.3/7.4, please everyone build directly from source, the current
master branch was fixed to work with newest LibreOffice releases.

Hi Thorsten,

Your answer bring me some more questions :)

There's currently no plans to do so, no. I don't think that is
technically desirable, since the implementation is
Java-only.


ok, thanks, just for clarity for all, what would prevent it to be 
released as an extension on the extension site? is it too complex?



Is everything (code comments, strings, doc) still in German?


See proposal, pretty far down the list - start with code & comment
translation DE->EN.

So the answer is, the work has started. ;)


great, is it a lot of work? do you have an idea of when it will be 
available for the whole community?



Are there some examples of how it works and what it does and for
which users it is expected?


Can I refer you to our LibOCon talk? I can ask Mike if the video is
perhaps ready soonish, so that can then be part of the public
information here.


Thanks a lot, I'll find the video and will have a look
Cheers
Sophie

Dear community,

as announced during LibOCon, and subsequently discussed in the ESC,
here's the formal adoption proposal for the "WollMux" template / form
letter / mail merge engine / Java extension, from the City of Munich.

For reference, I attach the full proposal (so the initial version gets
archived). For interacting with it, please use this direct edit link
on Nextcloud though:

Reply-To: board-discuss please, unless there's technical questions to

Plan is to give this 1-2 weeks for discussion. Depending on the
feedback, the hope is, the proposal can then be referred to the board
for a final decision.


I have some questions :)

Will that stay as an extension or will it be integrated to LibreOffice 
core?


Is everything (code comments, strings, doc) still in German?

Are there some examples of how it works and what it does and for which 
users it is expected?


Thanks in advance,
