Re: Introduction of: R J Wahl
The bugzilla link: https://bz.apache.org/ooo/ We are like 6 Developers. If you subscribe to Dev and say what you are working on it I think it is fine. However Once you have an User Account you can assign Issues to you, signaling that you are working on them. Best is to leave the issues Mailing list in CC, so QA and other devs can follow. Once you have a patch you upload it to bugzilla. If you determind enough to gain commiter status you can directly submit to our SVN repository. (Please keep in mind that we might want to discuss a switch to git. We have to take up the discussion on @dev mailinglist. OFC your opinion is then also to be heared so subscribe to the @dev list) The Revision number is then postet into the bugzilla to document the commit. you might be also interested in looking at this page for searching through the code: http://opengrok.adfinis-sygroup.org/source/ All the best Peter Am Montag, den 23.10.2017, 10:48 + schrieb David Larson: > I personally prefer Kanban and Scrum like teams to being in work > Hierarchy.

Re: Introduction of: R J Wahl
Hi David Larson, What do you want? This list is ment for people who are interested in joining OpenOffice to improve the application OpenOffice. Nothing more nothing less. Do you want to join or are you looking for coworkers? All the best Peter On 21.10.2017 14:45, David Larson wrote: I use openoffice portable so its handy when I need it but out of the way (not using computer resources when I don't use it). I do the same with the chrome browser as it launches too many processes for my tastes. I don't use Microsoft Office as its too integrated with the OS. I want my computer to be like a transformer Lamborghini not an overburdened bus. I put 32gb of ram in each of my computers and I still feel that way as I have my own plans for the data space. One slightly annoying behavior of openoffice to fix is sometimes when I start it the first time it complains about needing to clean up and quits before starting but it works the second time I try, however then it tends to state it is recovering documents I last worked on when I already have them saved and puts them into a read only state. In addition, there is document formats that probably need to be added. On the ancient side, there is Wordstar which I discovered I still have old resumes written in and have to resort to a different tool to recover their valuable content. On the current side, I am suspicious that the latest Word like formats supported are getting stale with the Office fans out there. Hopefully these are not beyond our reach. I don't personally care about spreadsheet file formats at this time as I only use them for my own experiments nor for presentation formats usually although I may care for those soon. I do care about some recent new spreadsheet misbehaviors with moderately sized data sets I have been seeing which I don't like... mostly regarding auto filters that cause weird results that are difficult to undo. This problem interferes with my efforts to develop the information I need for a special new kindle book on SQL. Do we have a comprehensive list of the latest formats, bugs, and important features that should be supported but may not be? Note I am willing to use github for public projects and I am using Atlassian Bitbucket for my private projects as I can have 4 coworkers in it for free in that we can use to get started saving the world from data overload.
