Thanks for the hint it works on my ubuntu now (I really need to get the windows build going). I needed to add a entry in main/i18npool/source/localedata/data It works real nice if you build with target language + keyid (or for now kid), that way the translator can very fast switch between translated text and keyid. I have btw changed xx_XX to xx-XX in branch l10n40, so we dont have a mix of _ and -. main/i18npool/source/**localedata/data consistently uses underscores. On the other hand, the old extras/l10n/source consistently uses dashes... so I don't know which one is best here. If there's a way to adopt a common convention, very good. This part uses underscores, but all texts have [ en-US ], so to make it consistent will be a simple but large change that I think should be done with lazy consensus before implementation. rgds jan I.

Re: I'm ready to give up on Open Office
My simplest recomendation is to keep a stable and a 'bleeding edge' version. That way you can use a stable for really long, complex documents and a bleeding edge for simpler documents. I did something like that for my browsers as well as having different flavors. Event today I keep Caligra, AbiWord and AOO Writer for handling my documents. The freedom of free software allows you to expand the offering. Currently I look at abiword and gnumerics and they have evolved from the last time I used them. Also OpenOffice.org 3.2 which was rock solid was a very good alternative still available. http://www.openoffice.org/download/legacy/index.html If you think about it, Microsoft has a 3 years cycle for MSO, so in theory you will be doing the same waiting on MSO 2015/6. OpenOffice.org has a 6/8 month cycle and major releases. Saying all that, I would also invite you to participate on our QA efforts generating good bug reports so we can isolate these bugs, more information at http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-qa.html On 10/5/13, Bob Lee leer...@gmail.com wrote: I've been using Open Office for my personal use for years.

Re: I'm ready to give up on Open Office
...and of course keep a backup history. Save regularly under different version names so that if something goes wrong you can find out where and revert to a version that is not too far from the current version. This is really a sensible strategy whatever software you are using if the work is critically important. Ok, it takes up some more disc space but in these days of 100s of gigs that shouldn't really be an issue for office docs.

As for the photos, I'm not sure I had any deep thoughts here. The fact that they are vintage photos was primarily a result of seeking interesting, fun, relevant, public domain images that could be used on the blog. So that led to Flickr Commons which aggregates such imagery from various national archives and libraries. But I'm open to other ideas.

I changed the heme a bit, adding Grey9 for body text. Yellow3/Red7 for title Red7 for URL Red7 for trademarks (ASF and others) Added a flourish to the closing screen (which I could remove if anyone would prefer) Otherwise, I just grabbed the release notes again and a quick read doesn't appear to require a change in content.

Indeed there is a problem with the Paypal donations that the Apache Foundation Treasurer is solving (if you notice, there's a remark just below the Paypal button about this). As soon as all paperwork is filed, the Paypal button will be restored, possibly with other options for micro-donations. But at the moment you should just be patient while the Apache Foundation Treasurer works on this... and don't forget to try again!

But if someone has a budget to spend in improving Apache OpenOffice, this would be relevant to the project: it would be useful to him to learn that he cannot pay a developer through Apache, but that (with no involvement and no responsibilities for Apache) he can post his request on a third-party website. Yes, it's not a topic for the ASF, but for the OpenOffice Community. The special thing about OpenOffice is the large userbase. If only one of 500 users invest 10 dollars, there would be a investment about 1 million dollars. Luckely this doesn't happend. I simply want to show how big the potential is. To get me right, I talk about investments, and not about donnations. I plane to start small, with small projects of same 1000 dollars. You can see the results faster and good results generate new funds. It is not a easy part, and I understand everyone who stay away from this business. But it is also a big chance for OpenOffice and of course for developers. Then, like all patches, this contribution may or may not be included in OpenOffice depending on licensing and technical merit. But at least we give some more visibility to the OpenOffice ecosystem, quite similarly to what we do with consultants. That said, I have very little experience with crowdfunding sites and I don't know what the best one would be to find OpenOffice developers. I will talk next week to a person who has probabily experiance with this. I know this person from may sporttime. He has a company that helps in startups.

Sources are in branches/l10n40 (based on trunk approx start august) R1519182. The work flow is: 1) run build --all --genPO or build --genPO 2) on pootle server: cd aooGenLang; svn up pootle update_stores (with parms as normal) 3) on translate.a.o update against templates 4) translate 5) on pootle server: pootle sync_stores (with parms as normal) cd aooGenLang; svn commit Now translated files are available in our source tree. I have tested all these steps. We can make a number of elegant optimizations, a) allow committers to commit directly in pootle (removes 5) b) allow committers to run svn up (req. a simple php page and removes 2,3) Excellent news. If someone could review the branch, it would be real nice. Also I need to check build on windows/mac. I'll try to do this if I get time this week. In the meantime I will integrate genLang convert so we can get all current translations into the new system. and finally integrate genLang merge that generates sources with languages. rgds jan I. -- Alexandro Colorado Apache OpenOffice Contributor http://www.openoffice.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
