Re: [proposal] manual create new user on upgraded wiki
Hello Jan, all. 10.12.2012 22:33, janI пишет: The most efficient measure is a manual creation, and if I count correctly we talk about less than 10 new users in a month. I think the manual registration for new wiki users is not good. We have created 12 new user accounts since 24 November. These users don't make any edit on the wiki. Maybe they can't edit the wiki pages or they can't login or can't change a temporary password? I don't know. One new user wrote me: "now I can't edit wiki with my new account".

@helen:
I have updated page titles to utf8, so that should be ok.
I do have a problem with category names, when I convert them they are
non-unique, which they have to be.
I have tried to convert as many as possible, but it might be that you have
to change a couple by hand.
I cannot judge it really, but the pages seem better now, what do you think ?

HI Tj and Helen.
First please bear over with me, it is x-mas morning, and my head is not
fully operational :-)
Let me explain:
we are actually running on the test system, I have a link for production
that I can switch to different directories, and I simply pointed it at
test
(which makes it easy to switch back).
Of course I also updated the DB.
@Tj:
I see your problem, that is a security issue I did not see comming :-(
You tested the editor in test, can you confirm that it had no problems ?
@Helen:
This has to do with the UTF8 conversion, I understood from the previous
mails that it worked on wikitest...and I just tested a couple of pages
(in
russian), which to be honest I did not understand, but the looked like
the
old wiki :-)
I can do the UTF8 conversion, pn text and pages in the live system, but
I
have my children visiting, so it will take a couple of days.
If any of you (on anybody else with a serious reason) request that I
roll
back I wil do it by restoring the db backup from yesterday and
activating
the old code...please advice quickly in order not to loose too many
changes.
Have a nice day, and thanks for advicing me.
Jan I.
Hi, Jan, Helen,
*UTF8*: It seems we have some scattered conversion problems in this area.
The big question is, how many? The "Unused files" special page is showing
strange entries for the first few items, too; the names look like what
I'd
expect from double conversion.
@Helen: can you give us a better idea of how big the problem is? Cyrillic
is "Greek to me" (="unknown"), too. I am assuming that this would be
important, for going back or going forward.
Helen told me off list, that we should go ahead and fix iit in the live
version, but your comments make me a bit nervous, so yes I also would like
a "damage estimate". I have not run the UTF8 conversion script we got, so
that might solve the whole problem.
I see in a later note that you are doing this. Good; I think we need it.
*Editor*: Loading the toolbar has always been a two-step process: the
first part is initially visible, then the rest of the icons load quickly
but visibly later. (I'd love to know more about what's going on here,
because I'd love to add an icon to the list: TEXT HERE,
something
I use frequently.) I think (but cannot confirm) that it was working on
testwiki. I did do a little editing on testwiki, so I should have noticed
the glitch, but maybe I didn't.
Please have a look now, I added "WikiEditor" instead of the default,
because it has some issues with the seconds part icons and are not easy
extendable.
Look in mediawiki, there are examples on how to extend the icons, you can
do it for your user, and once it works I can include them.
"WikiEdditor" looks good to me, and seems to work fine. I will
investigate extending the icons.
*Category for Speedy Deletion*: Jan, you deleted this category. Granted,
it was empty at the time, but we sysops chase and delete pages that show
up
here. This is how non-sysops request page deletion, by adding the
template,
{{delete|explanation}} to the page. Then a sysop looks at the page and
the
reason, and acts accordingly: deletes the page or removes the template,
and
explains why in the summary.
Sorry, there was not comment like in the russian pages. Can you please
make
it again, and put a comment in there.
Done.
Most of the users who would request such a thing are now sysops, and can
do their own deletions, but even there, they might want a second
opinion. I
suggest that this method is worth keeping. Therefore, I have re-created
the
category.
Agree, but please put a note like "to not delete even if empty" for
future
admins :-)
Done.
Concentrating on the glitches, I have failed to mention that most of the
new setup looks wonderful. It was a lot of work, and we are most grateful
for your attention.
thx for the nice words, it was really a big job...but hopefully it is
comming to a pause and in the meantime I can concentrate on the pootle
server.

Re: Help please: Can we get some more "easy bugs" marked in Bugzilla?
There are some categories of "simple" tasks in my mind. Of course, things may become complex when you really dive into details. - Simple UI changes, eg. modify UI string or change the size to avoid truncation, or color change, or a little more complex, to change the default settings...maybe someone has different opinion - Defects already fixed in another stream, eg. in Symphony stream. Again, you may find some easy things become complex when you come to the code...but at least, you have some ready solution to refer to, and migrate the code. - Inspired by Andrea, work with experienced developers on the same features but help on simple tasks, eg. some ongoing items development in 4.0. You can call for input from 4.0 developers. I believe they will be happy if others can help. Of course, better the volunteers can really help so that we do not waste the time. One easy defect to start will help to find out the ones. - Extension Development (depends on the complexity of the extensions) - (thinking on more...)

Re: [QA Report]Weekly Defect Analysis Report
Thanks Ji. It looks good! The report shows us the weekly number of defects in and out. It helps us to understand the quality status. Here are my suggestions to the format of the report. - Can we have the trend of weekly opened/fixed? this will help us to understand the progress by weeks. - Are there some open issues that QA volunteers should pay attention? for example, if we have many defects which are not confirmed/verified, or if some new QA tasks need more volunteers. - Are there some defects that developers should pay special attention? either high severity defects or regression should fit into this category. - When we start FVT (eg. sidebar), we should include FVT progress into the report. Thanks, Helen 2013/3/4 Ji Yan > Hi all, > > I post weekly defect analysis report at [1].

Re: [QA Report]Weekly Defect Analysis
Thanks Xuan. Good to know that 23 were opened, and 24 were fixed...we got one reduce in total :) One suggestion is, it would be great if you can include a list of defects which need highlight...it could be based on the severity or the scenario is very common...

download stats
I'm looking at the download stats here, http://www.openoffice.org/stats/downloads.html. It's still the number of 40M on Mar.3. Who can help to update it? Thanks. Helen
4.0 status
Maybe others have been looking at this...please step in if you are doing this. Given we are now close to Apr.5 (the planned regression test date), this could be a good time for us to look at the current status for all the items (features/enhancements) in 4.0. I'm looking at the wiki page here, https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.0+Release+Planning. Two questions here, 1) do we have more new items in 4.0? if yes, can people help to add? 2) still quite some items are at the "proposed" status...we may need to either update the status, or move some to future candidates. Thoughts? Thanks Helen
Re: download stats
Thanks for quick update...well, it hasn't been there. I can understand if it's because of the time to syn such a huge download number :-) Just a reminder.

Re: Thanks for all the volunteers in AOO 4.0 sidebar testing!
Is it a good idea to list the names and contributions of the volunteers somewhere on the wiki? Maybe we have already did that... Thanks.

Is the subject add-on available for Apache OpenOffice 4? I can't find [and install] it.
