Sure, and even if it doesn't work! Thank you for your efforts and we can

Re: Call for AOO 4.0 translation volunteers via update notification

2013-04-10 Thread Andrea Pescetti

Rob Weir wrote:

My proposed landing page is here:
http://www.openoffice.org/projects/untranslated.html


The page and the strategy are good. I wonder what the best timing is (I 
don't have an answer).


Between now and 4.0 (but possibly all within 10 days or so) we will see 
the following l10n-relevant changes:


1) Strings to be translated: OpenOffice 3.4.1 - OpenOffice 4.0

2) New Pootle server (which might offer good performance and, after 
discussion, the possibility to register non-committers accounts)


3) Strings refactoring (40 PO files instead of 240)

4) New internal localization process, i.e., how we integrate PO files. 
This is less visible for translators, anyway,


Starting the call immediately and then having at least three major 
workflow changes would be problematic. So what I don't know is the 
order/timeframe of actions 1-3. Can anyone make an estimate? If it makes 
sense (i.e., if we have plans for major changes in the very near future) 
we might want to do one or more of these actions before issuing a large 
call for volunteers.


Regards,
  Andrea.

Build breaker and clean build

2013-04-10 Thread Andre Fischer

Hi,

tonight we had a build breaker in the windows build: a slot id that is 
used in SW had been removed in SVX.  The reference in SW had also been 
removed, so this change should not be a problem.
But the windows build is still not a full build.  Therefore the old SW 
slot header files where used and the build broke.


There is an easy fix for situations like this: a clean build.

This may become important in the coming weeks when we have to fix some 
bugs in the sidebar (which is about to be merged back into trunk).  The 
sidebar is implemented in several modules.  Without a clean windows 
build we will run into build breakers very regularly.


As I see it, we have a real problem here.

Regards,
Andre

 I am no expert in what we can do in buildbot, but isnt it possible to run
a script before build, that removes all unxlngx6.pro directories and

Incremental build are known to have problems thats why I suggested [1] 
to default to a clean build. That didn't receive consensus though and 
indeed there are good reasons against it:


The incremental build both tests the dependency system and it reduces 
the load when building significantly.


On the already strained buildbot this means a factor of almost five 
improvement as clean build takes about 4.5h whereas an incremental build 
takes only 0.5-1.0h.


Andrew even had to reschedule the snapshot build away from the weekly 
clean build because the buildbot load is a real problem.

Each nightly unxlngx6.pro buildbot run already does clean build. Only 
the nightly windows build is incremental whereas the weekly windows 
trunk and snapshot builds are done from scratch.


I suggested to default to a better safe than sorry approach of a clean 
build but that was rejected at that time (2012/2) [1]

Doing the regular build for trunk only every second night would only 
help if the nightly builds for branches such as l10n or ia2 would also 
be reduced. Do they still need nightly builds?

Sidebar merged into trunk

2013-04-10 Thread Andre Fischer

Hi community,

the first phase of the sidebar development is complete.  The sidebar
is now feature complete, ie all panels that are planned for the 4.0
release are now available.

More importantly: we have just merged the sidebar branch into trunk.
That means that from now on, every build of trunk will contain the
sidebar.  It is active by default and ready for use.

The next phase will concentrate on two things:

- Improving usability and appearance.

- Finding and fixing bugs.


Everyone of you can help with both points: please try out the sidebar
and tell us about everything that does not work or that you don't
like.  If you find an error then please look at [1] to see if
something like this is already known.  If not, please write a new
issue for it.
For everything else we have this mailing list.

this has to be done unfortunately and I see a problem to have a good
integrated help in place for 4.0.

The help system is one area where we should try to find a better
solution. I can think of an optional package and some kind of internal
mapping between help id's and the place where to find the help files.

then we can have an online version of the help which give us further
advantages and we can have an downloadable and optional help (package,
extension) for offline usage on demand.

something for the future I guess, one of many things that we can improve
or where somebody can start working on

On 10.04.2013 11:48, Andre Fischer wrote:

For everything else we have this mailing list.


While the new builds are not yet available (I will let you know when 
they are), let me start with a bag of things that need improvement. I 
list only things where the best behavior is not entirely clear and I 
need your input:


1. The default sizes of the sidebar and application windows need better 
defaults.  Writer on Linux is dominated by the sidebar.


2. Handling of scroll wheel in sidebar is not consistent: sometimes the 
wheel scrolls the edit view, sometimes it changes the values of some 
controls, but it never scrolls the sidebar (which I think should be the 
default while the mouse pointer is over the sidebar).


3. The sidebar tab bar is currently always located on the right side of 
the sidebar.  Even when docked at the left side.  Maybe the tab bar 
should then be located at the left?  What about RTL writing mode? (At 
the moment the sidebar can be docked at the bottom, but I have already a 
fix for that)


4. I think that the color scheme is still a little bit too far in the 
battelship-gray corner of the color space.


5. The controls in the drop downs are not consistent.  While I think 
that consistency with the rest of the office has not top priority, 
consistency inside the sidebar has (or should have, we want to impress 
our users, right?)  I personally have come to like the drop downs that 
where migrated from Symphony, like the one for the Width control of 
the Line panel (make the Line panel visible by adding and/or 
selecting a shape to an application of your choice).  Compare it to the 
drop down of the Styles control right below.



As you see, much of this is a matter of taste.  There is no one right 
solution.  And yet we have to agree on one.

Andre

We had a discussion on this topic a few weeks ago, about making documents
for screenshots.  The discussion was about the need for the content of the

contributed by a project member under ALv2, or Lorem Ipsum content, or

 I would do in on ubuntu 12.04 64bit.
 I built with --with-lang=en-US de fr and tested language packs. I
 can
 include da for the enxt build ;-)

 For now I mainly interested in a general function test. Including
 features like scripts, macros, passwords, encryption ...

 Sorry that is not really me (I am a very ordinary user).

 Where are this builds? If you have one, I make a call for tests at the
 german community. I think there are people with interest in testing.

 not available, I have only uploaded the en-us version

 I have finished my windows build with some delay and have uploaded an
 archive version as well. I can benefit from some more watching eyes
 taking a closer look on it.

 The Windows build includes a further fix to consolidate the service.rdb
 
 Things that should be done:
 - consolidate types rdb's, at least program/misc/types.rdb and
 program/offapi.rdb
 - check custom setup
 - check SDK
 
 Things that should be done but can be later as well:
 - analyze redirect.ini and potentially remove it (haven't looked in
 detail into this yet)
 - further code cleanup
 - cleanup scp2
 
 

I forgot to mention that I plan to integrate it next week if possible.
Means feedback is highly appreciated.

   Hi,
 
  (I am sorry for spamming dev@ today)
 
  I would like to prepare an entry for the sidebar in the release notes
and
  want to include one or two small screenshots.  Do we have a document
with
  AOO name and logo that I can use as eye candy *and* to demonstrate
some
  features?
 
 
   We had a discussion on this topic a few weeks ago, about making
  documents
  for screenshots.  The discussion was about the need for the content of
the
  document itself to be free of 3rd party rights.  So either something
  contributed by a project member under ALv2, or Lorem Ipsum content, or
  something out of copyright.
 
  I took that third approach for a document based on H.G. Wells War of
the
  Worlds and a public domain image from NASA:
 
  http://www.robweir.com/**screenshot.png
http://www.robweir.com/screenshot.png
 
  It doesn't have the AOO name or logo in it, but shouldn't the title be
in
  the title bar?
 
 
  I think that I where able to produce some demo document but nothing that
  would deserve to be called eye candy.
 
  I would like to the impatient reader, who only skims the text and looks
at
  the pictures, to associate the sidebar with AOO.  Therefore I would
prefer
  a big blue orb and some white birds in the background.
 
 
 Would be interesting to get permission to use this image:

 http://www.flickr.com/photos/marianna_armata/5601845071/

that would really be something !! that would also be nice on our web.

Any idea, how we could get permission ?

I had seen this too but from what I have seen on the world wide web, 
this seems to be a problem inside boost, triggered but not directly 
caused by my usage of ::boost::variant.  Possible solutions:

1. Update boost
2. Replace the usage of sfx2::sidebar::Paint with Wallpaper
3. Do not compile with WaE

I would prefer 1 but I guess 2 is the most pragmatic.  Besides the 
initial use case for the new Paint type may have been watered down to 
become irrelevant.

 … thinking further on this, I suppose one thing I'd rather (or like to)
 have is not a feature (or bug) comparison but rather a chart that can show
 how and where community can intervene on their own behalf.

 My reading of AOO is that seldom do enterprise users (ore even
 individuals) look to such comparisons in shopping around. A user, like an
 accountant or artist or novelist or student, or etc., might look to see if
 the suite has a particular feature and buy it for that reason (or download
 it for free). But probably the majority don't do that. Enterprise purchases
 are made using different criteria.

 But what is really a differentiator, I'd like to believe, is the fact that
 because AOO is open source and has a welcoming community plus an active
 developer base, users can shape the suite to suit their ends.

Mostly I was suggesting a chart like this because it's a quick way for
users/prospective users to ascertain functional features, that's all.

e.g. Well I'm doing X now in MS Office, can I do the same thing in AOO?

I have seen many articles like this, and a few comparison charts, but not
very comprehensive, and rather old -- OO.o 2.x etc.

configure problem.

2013-04-10 Thread janI
Hi.


I have a local copy of trunk, I have done configure etc and built with
success.

BUT I have lost the script that contained the configure call, so I am a
lost as to which options was used.

Does configure, store the options used somewhere (allowing me to rebuilt
the configure call) ?

Thx a lot in advance for a hopefully fast answer (there are no reaction on
IRC).

  Hi community,
 
  the first phase of the sidebar development is complete.  The sidebar
  is now feature complete, ie all panels that are planned for the 4.0
  release are now available.
 
  More importantly: we have just merged the sidebar branch into trunk.
  That means that from now on, every build of trunk will contain the
  sidebar.  It is active by default and ready for use.
 
  The next phase will concentrate on two things:
 
  - Improving usability and appearance.
 
  - Finding and fixing bugs.
 
 
  Everyone of you can help with both points: please try out the sidebar
  and tell us about everything that does not work or that you don't
  like.  If you find an error then please look at [1] to see if
  something like this is already known.  If not, please write a new
  issue for it.
  For everything else we have this mailing list.
 
  Congratulations with the big work to everyone that participated !
 
  A small question is someone looking at documenting this new feature,
  including online doc ?

  Best regards,
  Andre

  Jan;
 
  The documentation team is planing on adding this to our online user
  guides. Now that it is has been merged into trunk We can take a closer
  look on what is needed.

 perfect, good to hear that. And having updated user documentation is
 very important.

 Does anybody of you have experience with our online help? I am
 personally no fiend of our help system but I am sure it is used. Would
 be good to find a way to include the sidebar ...


Some time ago I asked the same and Regina provided some links

There might be a config.parms in trunk/main from a previous configure
call.

 You are a super hero !!

config.parms is a real nice feature, and now I can regenerate (after all
the commits today).

At present there is no easy way out of using the command line.  How to install 
OpenOffice is clearly set out in 
this tutorial.  Note that, if  you are using Ubuntu, you should remove all 
traces of LibreOffice before installing OpenOffice.  The removal is best done 
(in my experience) using Synaptic; tell it to find libreoffice-core, and 
remmove that and associated programs.

OpenOffice Community Survey

2013-04-10 Thread Rob Weir
I'd like to start moving ahead toward a user survey.   I have an
installation of LimeSurvey setup on my server and am learning how to use
it.

Before going live with a survey of thousands of users I'd like to do an
end-to-end test by having a simple survey of us, members of the OpenOffice
project.

I have some ideas for questions, things like:

1) How long have you been using OpenOffice?

2) How long have you been involved with the OpenOffice project?

and so on.

But I want to check to see if anyone has some other interesting questions
you think we should ask?

Remember, this is a community survey, not a survey of users.

Regards,

-Rob

Rob,

For the final version it might be well to include a few questions about 
how OpenOffice is used:


1) Do you used OpenOffice in your home or business or both?
2) What features do you find most useful?
3) If you could add one feature what would it be?

Stan

tpcolor - aName

2013-04-10 Thread jorge ivan poot diaz
Hello,
I am modifying this code into the source code AOO

http://opengrok.adfinis-sygroup.org/source/xref/aoo-trunk/main/cui/source/tabpages/tpcolor.cxx#465

I want to know how I can see the value of variables or just know that you
value.

For example this code fragment:

ConvertColorValues (aAktuellColor, CM_RGB);
pEntry = new XColorEntry( aAktuellColor, aName );

aName = ??

I think this is the name of the color that is added, I'm not sure. Help me.

Regards.
