Arnold, I don't think spamming email lists about this is very productive.
It is akin to many "petition" activities. They express desires without providing any means for their achievement. The same can happen with Feature Requests on the project Bugzilla collections. In this case, there is no consideration to how complicated this would be based on the existing large code base that AOO and LibO have to manage (and then making it an optional feature makes that even more complicated). But ultimately, for an open-source project, the biggest problem is capturing the attention of developers who are capable, available, and interested in producing such a feature. And there are prioritization issues and work that might be considered more important (especially around defects and quality-assurance requirements). If it feels good, by all means add to the petition. Just don't be too broken-hearted when there is no impact. And don't be too discouraged if there are not very many signatures on the petition. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Árnold [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2015 03:04 To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; "h.e.f.fordewafex."@gmail.com; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Cc: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Asking the Apache OpenOffice and/or Libre Office user – do you need “tabbing interface”?
