My wish was indeed to have this forum-style gateway to have access to the same content with two interfaces, but it obviously didn't work out, which is why I am considering a real forum. As a novice user, I made two posts in the Nabble forum under the login name chimak111. The first was promptly and efficiently dealt with by Cor Nouys (I'm spelling from memory). The second post may be used to illustrate the current state of the Nabble forum. At issue was the functioning of the global menu bar to integrate LibreOffice with the Unity aspect of Ubuntu 11.10. A couple of responses by Tom were to the point. The rest was the type of thing seen when there isn't active moderation of posts. The thread digressed to the merits and demerits of Unity, Ubuntu, Canonical, Linux, and what have you. The link to this second post is here: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/LibreOffice-3-4-3-on-Ubuntu-11-10-Unity-3D-td3431366.html#a3431583 Nabble, not per se but for want of moderation or etiquette, shows the same weakness of mailing lists in that material is quoted and requoted, mostly unnecessarily. Then there are the unwanted headers and footers that just bulk up each post and make havoc in posts containing quotes and requotes. I know that moderators are not a dime a dozen, but without strong moderation, any forum or mailing list can become quite unattractive. All the same, I'd prefer a forum.

Re: [tdf-discuss] Re: Forums... again
I have no issues with a forum that is commercial presumably to [b]cover costs[/b]. As Andy says, the ads are easily blocked (in that I had no need to take specific steps to block ads from that site). One more advantage of forums is that sig files are restricted in length and readers aren't subjected to lengthy sig files that are sometimes advertisement. There's proof of how sig files can be abused in this mailing list. For whatever reason, if a forum by the TDF is not desirable by the power-that-be, we just have to live with the fact.

Re: [tdf-discuss] A better idea for a download package.
No doubt there are valid reasons for having an install with every available language pack included and a multitude of sound files and graphics in the gallery but I hope that someone considers the difficulty of others who have limited broadband quotas or poor connectivity. If LibreOffice is to become popular, simple logic would indicate that a smaller download size would be more attractive. I'm not technically competent to advise on how to go about things but a modular approach would be nice. I know exactly what I need from LibreOffice and after having successfully downloaded the ~210 MB RC2 installer to give an ~ 430 MB LibreOffice folder, I managed to bring the size down to ~280 MB. The other suggestion I have to make is to consider the differential update system (Courgette) that Google has developed for its Chrome browser: http://blog.chromium.org/2009/07/smaller-is-faster-and-safer-too.html http://www.osnews.com/story/21842/Courgette_Significantly_Reduces_Chromium_Update_Sizes -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
