Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: promotion possibility for LibO
Hi :) You can always write to them yourself to suggest it. I've tried it a few times without much luck but i think that's because they need to hear it from quite a few people before noticing that it needs to be done. If it's just 1 person then it looks a bit like trolling. I've never been back to see if enough others contacted them. Quite a few times they turned out to be dead sites anyway. Any site that mentions OpenOffice and hasn't heard of LibreOffice is likely to be dead or deaf or lacks interest in the area but it's still worth a quick try.

LibO can save metafiles in SVG format, thus I assume that it can also import SVG files. Modification of such files is again another story. But thanks for hint and link. I saw on the homepage several times OpenOffice mentioned and I though it would be good to have LibO mentioned as well. Thats all.

You may want to work a bit in a current LibreOffice build with images from the Open Clipart site. You'll find that ALL LibreOffice components will correctly import and render the SVG to bitmap directly.

[libreoffice-users] Re: promotion possibility for LibO
ROSt52, Ok, understand your intent a little better. The text you found is a *very* outdated FAQ entry on the OpenClipArt Library (OCAL) project. Here is a valid link http://openclipart.org/faq#How_can_I_use_these_images_in_OpenOffice.org.3F . It should be updated, as the support for SVG graphics in LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice pretty much being maintained on a common code base by its primary developer Armin Le-Grand, a contributor to both projects. The FAQ usage details for both office products could be the same text. But, as Tom suggests, to have the FAQ entry corrected, someone on the OCAL project will have to be contacted. They look to have an active mailing list, at http://freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/clipart http://freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/clipart --suggestion for an edit would not need to come from TDF LibreOffice Marketing, so feel free. Imagine on the LO side, we should give a nod to the great work and resources available for use from OCAL.
