[libreoffice-users] odf purists mailing list request

Readers, Analogous to the creation of LO, it is time to consider an "odf purists" mailing list for users such as yours truly who are tired of the m$ groupies yearning for a free m$ clone. Is there a formal procedure to request for the creation of a new mailing list, with the provisional intention

[libreoffice-users] integration of styles management between writer and impress

Readers, To my surprise, styles visible in writer are not visible in impress; why? It would be useful to be able to apply a style created in writer, to a presentation document. If this found to be not suitable, then to create a new style based upon the writer style. For example, a numbering style

[libreoffice-users] flat xml for version control of documents

Readers, It has recently been realised that m$powerpoint does not allow track changes (or document version control in general) for presentations. In the LO features web page, xml flat (which I guess means that the odp file is not saved as an archive) is claimed to allow for xslt processing, but d

[libreoffice-users] create symbolic links to LO program components

Readers, In previous software versions, there would be an executable file such as 'scalc' and so a symbolic link could easily be created: ln -s /path/to/lo/scalc /usr/local/bin/calc Therefore calc could be activated via the command terminal or 'run application' dialogue window (i.e. alt+f2). In
