[tdf-discuss]Print Intentions for LO documents
With no luck I tried in the past to convince the OO developers to include Print intentions in the there documents. We need to store some meta-data about where and how the document will been published, On screen, printed on a Laser Printer, Printed by en professional Printhouse etc This information is important to show the inserted graphics at the correct sizes. Now, LO and OO looks in the file header off the graphic file for the DPI who is stored by the Author off the Graphic (mostly the photographer). These is useless, we need to define the DPI (what kind of printing will be used) )in the document and then calculate the amount off pixels we need to publish the Graphic at the size who garanteed the best quality. I supose it is not to complicated to code this feather, i do not know if ODF support this wanted Print Intentions ?

Re: [tdf-discuss] Oracle Contributor Agreement and LibreOffice contributions

At a wild guess, because there are not enough devs in the LibO project to fix all the bugs in the current OOo code and develop new features at the same time ? There is always hope that some of those rather annoying bugs that seem rather hard to fix or obscure to determine might actually get sorted out by the OOo project ;-) Look at Base for example...and I'm just guessing.
