Therefore, the only promising strategy seems kind of crowdsourcing the work i.e. make it as easy as possible to contribute so that many many people can collaborate. The historical situation was to have the local F1 help, which is rather difficult to manage and nearly impossible for normal people to contribute. So the folks keen to contribute created the User Guides as supplement which is much easier to contribute to. Nowadays, with all the collaborative internet possibilities, one could think of a better linking of the two by creating a combined help, i.e. a wiki help which allows easy contribution on the one hand but is also context sensitive like the local help. This has been started, but is far from being functional: The wikihelp nicely reacts to F1 if no localhelp is installed, but contribution is not yet implemented.

No. See below: [...] It also kinda explains the graphic on the; https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan page, although that graphic doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Do other people understand it? There used to be a neat little graph which kinda boggled the eyes at first but began to make sense after staring at it for a while. By clicking on the graphics you come to its upload page with all former versions: just chose the one you want to see, e.g. this: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/archive/2/2c/20130819233457!LibOReleaseLifecycle.png So Nino's answer suggests that some people might prefer the branch that has matured because by that time it is more stable. So releases with a higher 3rd digit are more mature, more stable and less likely to have problems. The only downside is that you get less features. exactly. However this seems to contradict what Charles was saying about both branches being fully stable. So which is wrong? Maybe it's about the usage of the word stable. Charles uses it in kind of a strict sense in software development: a software may be called stable if no crasher bugs are reported/open. (I don't know the exact actual definition in LibreOffice as I did not find it explicitly written somewhere). Florian simply assumes that the state stable is reached after the 6th bugfix release. So their definitions seemingly differ and it might be considered helpful to work on a common definition. But there is no doubt that both try to use it according to definition (or presumable definition). You seem to use it in an undefined way, kind of a common sense. Which is also right, but - as is the nature of undefined terms - does not reflect the product's state but rather your (or someone else's) expectations. So, strictly spoken, Charles/Florian are right. But commonly spoken, you are right. There is additionally the problem of comparing two differend kinds of fruit: it's difficult to compare the maturity of oranges and apples. Strictly spoken, you cannot say, this orange is more mature than this apple. In this analogy, every minor branch *is* a different fruit as it has different features from other minor branches :-) Therefore one simply shouldn't compare them regarding stableness.

Why would people choose it or what circumstances would suit Still better than Fresh? The main advantage is its age: it's more mature; it has been in use for a longer time; people know it better; more questions have been answered in all the support forums etc. You see, the main problem is not having two branches, it's having two branches which do not differ too much - just half a year. Therefore, both are rather fresh, there is no really mature version, at least not in the public. So the thing to really complain about is the lack of a really mature (2-3-4 years or more) version! Therefore, all the bug fixing etc does not really improve the stability of the software as branches end their lifetime too soon after receiving their last bugfix update. I'm not sure what the effects would be if there was a Long Time Support version. Maybe, everybody would switch to this LTS verison and bug reporting would decrease dramatically. But maybe also, that peoples' satisfachtion would grow considerably and therefore also commitment and loyalty. Who knows?

[libreoffice-users] Re: Does LO Writer converts (internally) any format other than .odt to .odt when it wants to open such files?
Am 06.08.2013 21:55, schrieb Sina Momken: ... does LO Writer converts files to .odt when it tries to open them or it can directly work with formats other than .odt like .doc and .docx? I think no software works directly with a file format. Files are frozen data streams, they are static. Any data bits from the file get imported into the software which stores them into its internal variables, arrays, objects, and more, then it works with them and after that stores the result again in the file. So there is always some kind of import translation of data when a software opens (i.e. reads) the file (resp. export translation when writing it). However, in the native format (as is odf for LibreOffice), this translation mostly goes 1:1 as the file format is chosen to support the software's needs best (or vice versa). In contrast, for other (i.e. non-native) formats, the software first has to convert the foreign data format into what it understands. This is done by import resp. export filters, which map the software's needs to file format givens and thus allows the software to understand foreign formats. Does this answer your question? Or did you mean something completely diffferent? Why did you ask this question?

Am 14.03.2013 03:38, schrieb David Gulley: ... strange results when I try to execute the sort... Does anyone know what might be causing this? The first idea that came up to my mind is that unrecognized or misinterpreted EOL sequences might exist within the file. If you have a \n sequence inside of a text field it might or might not be recognized as End of Line. The same might happen if there are mixed Windows- Unix- or Mac-type EOL sequences (CR, CR/LF, or LF). (Don't know how to visualize them appropriately but you might succed in loading the file in writer and doing a search/replace.) However, the above should not change the number of rows inside Calc as the presumed misinterpretation should have happend during Import/Export only - but not within Calc itself.

Sorry, as I'm working with text mostly, I've overseen that \d is not the
correct syntax for digits. Pressing Help (or F1) in the search dialog, you'll
find a link to the List of Regular Expressions. There you can see, that a
digit is represented by [:digit:], not by \d. So you might have to search for
([:digit:]{2}.){2}[:digit:]{2} or similar (without the double quotes).

Re: [libreoffice-users] Install RPM as non-superuser
Hi,

below for conveniance.

To: users@global
Subject: Install RPM as non-superuser
Hi all,
I have been using Open/Libre Office under Linux since at least release
1.5, but there was an annoying problem during installation starting with
OpenOffice 2: As a rule, you must be superuser to install it (at least
for the RPM files). This can be critical. Once I had to write some
analysis in a company on a computer without any administrator available.
(It was a Linux machine with the broken OpenOffice 2.0 on it.) Happily,
I knew how to transform all the RPM's to a big tgz archive and carried
OpenOffice 2.1 as tgz with me. For simple usage, you only need the file
tree somewhere (locally), and you must know to call .../program/soffice to
start.
The shell script below does this transformation and expects a tar.gz
archive of RPM's from the official distribution as argument. It is more
or less straightforward but I remember that many people asked in a forum
what to do with alle the RPM's not being superuser (it *is* possible,
but you have to install your own package database). I know that there
are difficulties to offer such tgz packages because of upload speed of
contributors, but it could be possible to run this script on a server
after uploading the packages in recent form..
At least, I think it should be known (and what to do with the file
tree). A guy during the Linux Day in Chemnitz (Germany) recommended me
last weekend to put such instruction to the wiki. Before spamming, I
would like to ask the community if this is worth a wiki entry ... (I
have possibly one more item - a Python class to analyze and modify ODF
files without using LibreOffice, but I think this would be rather a
Python issue).
Best
Reinhard
