So we can avoid many bugs and anger. Indeed - that's already a request (Backup and restore button for profile). :) The user swears that he purges the directory and it re-corrupts at some point... Actually the solution is to find what causes profile corruption (but a Repair option would be an intermediate solution for MANY problems) How can we make TDF and the Devs take this problem seriously?

The myth that everyone is a volunteer and that Open Source is developed for free is nothing more than a myth. True - but we don't have power over them either ;) So what difference does it make to me...in my eyes they are all volunteers (or at least not under TDF control) I assume that current developers don't work on these features because they don't find it interesting or that no company instructs them to work on it. Probably If TDF is convinced that this is important then they can do the call for tender themselves (like they did for LibreOffice Viewer for Android) TDF builds an eco system where doers can do - Android was somewhat unique. The other tenders that we've done all have had backers that thought the issue was *particularly* important and thus put in the time and energy (which is a lot) to tender it. Anyway you are a member of the Board of Directors... Aren't you convinced that this is important? Sure - but not more important than the other 1000 things on my plate right now. I don't have the time to do yet another tender, build the support, find the money, etc... etc... The new grant program is meant to encourage our members (who are also doers to be more involved with the financing projects and see what a commitment it is to execute something to the end. There's only so much we (as the group of directors, deputies, and staff) can handle...and, I'm stretched way too thin to take on yet another project.
