Re: [RELEASE] Update 4.0 planning items
Hi, all, I updated the planning wiki and moved most proposed feature/enhancement with no owner from http://4.04.0https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.0+Release+Planningto 4.1https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.1+Release+Planning. And I left Encryption GUI still in 4.0 for now, since TJ is discussing the UI design and trying to get developer volunteer for this item. So I suggest we revisit this item later (January?). Next, I'd like our owners to double check the following proposed items and confirm if each of them can/should be in 4.0 (current target is to release in April 2013). Again, I will move out those having no confirmation after 1 week. (of course, any one is free to propose them back any time). enhanced extensions manager The extensions manager should support multiple repositories. Either via UI or via configuration only. - jsc OpenSocial support Enable 'sharing' to OpenSocial container's Activity Streams for document, chart, or spreadsheet review comment - Kevin Grignon (UX design) MacOS support with Java dropped - Herbert Duerr Usability improvement in Ctrl+A and mouse operations in tables and sections - Cheng Jian Hong Interoperability improvement with MS Word 2007/2010 on Shape support - Zhang Ying XLS loading performance with multiple pivot tables - Wang Lei Speaker notes support in normal view - Chen Jin Hua Include ODF Toolkit- robweir Thanks! - Shenfeng (Simon) 2012/12/8 Jürgen Schmidt jogischm...@gmail.com -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 On 12/7/12 3:18 PM, Ariel Constenla-Haile wrote: On Fri, Dec 07, 2012 at 08:55:23AM -0500, TJ Frazier wrote: The Encryption GUI item has not attracted a sponsor.

I hope every one can help to review the list and: (1) input your name if you volunteer to any of the items (especially those without owner now); (2) for those in Proposed status, update the wiki or reply to this mail, confirming if you still think you can/will deliver it in 4.0, or if you prefer to move it to future releases, or think it is no longer important or valid. (3) add new items that you are working on or you plan to deliver in 4.0. Then by the end of next week, I propose to move out those with no volunteer (I intent to move most of those items to 4.1 planning wiki temporary), then update the rest according to the response from volunteers. Please tell me if any comments/suggestion. And very appreciate for the update! Thanks! - Shenfeng (Simon) The Encryption GUI item has not attracted a sponsor.

Lacking all fu for SVN and C++, I can't volunteer for this. If we let the GUI slide, and keep the status quo, then I have a couple of suggestions: 1) I will try to enhance the macro to change the active settings. Currently, it changes the values in rm.xcu, which do not take effect until the suite is restarted (not very convenient, but much better than having to edit the parameter file by hand). I have failed at this before (the documentation has problems), but I will try again. 2) Add the macro to the Basic Tools library, possibly in its own module. I can supply a .txt or .bas file, or it can simply be scraped off the wiki page. This is the easiest way I know to distribute a macro whose lifetime should be that of the version; easy to add, easy to refer to in the notes, and easy for users to get at. If I can't update the macro by code-cutoff time, we can go with what we have. /tj/
