ApacheConNA
I seem to have a good gap in my medical treatments covering early September, so I am planning to attend the ApacheCon in Las Vegas. I would like to meet any other OpenOffice interested people who will be there. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
Re: Recent files in Windows
Hi Pedro, thanks for the information on the state. My intend taken aside, I rather fix something I am sure of being successful on, instead of something that is beyond my skill / knowledge. But my intend is not to do a fix now. As you might remember I started to keep a list of all sorts of Issue and try to cluster them to "epics". The idea is, to solve not one issue but multiple issues in one go, independent of priority only on the question that they are similar. My hope is that by taking this advance a proposed solution delivers in total a better design in comparison to a design that has been of each issues on its own. In this context it was not clear to me if this issue can not be closed as "won't fix". But then again I think we should bind this one more to the fate on the quick starter in general. What are the much needed improvements you think about? - Just checking if I have those in my epics. ;) All the Best Peter On 25.08.19 14:24, Pedro Lino wrote: > Hi Peter > >> We have here this old bug on Recent files in Windows Quickstarter. >> >> Does this still exist is it up to date? - I am a bit confused to be >> honest.

This was an enhancement request and the feature is still missing. But Quick Starter is now an option not selected by default. Most users won't even know what the Quickstarter is, let alone deliberately turning it on. Personally I always felt that pre-loading programs was a bad idea: in a slow computer it would make the first boot even slower and on fast computers it was irrelevant... I believe that if there are any Quickstarter users left they would prefer that the developers would spend their time in other much needed improvements...

Recent files in Windows
We have here this old bug on Recent files in Windows Quickstarter. Does this still exist is it up to date? - I am a bit confused to be honest.

Re: contributing to Apache
There is no reason to apologize. It is all fine good. We have the tool for communicating. Which is very important to do. Where are you looking at? https://wiki.openoffice.org is our Mediawiki. ( short Mwiki). We have also a Confluence Wiki (short Cwiki) We have a static Webside. I am not aware that we have a plan where to go. So maybe start with making a plan and introduce it to us on the dev Mailiing list (short: @dev) Or does anyone have a plan what there is to do with the Documentation?

Re: contributing to Apache
Hey Peter, Thank you for the reply. I think as of now a good place to start is documentation. Is there an area I can start? I am going to take a look again at the Apache website.
