End users see what the program will and will not do. They know (at least some of them) what they need and if a particular program fills that need.

[discuss] Strategy - was mail client Posted: 30 Apr 2006 03:10 AM PDT On Sun, 2006-04-30 at 10:49 +0000, jonathon wrote: It is, its down to Sun's internal policies as to what gets done jsut as much as the community perspective - some would say more so. That is politics - micropolitics perhaps, but nevertheless politics. It will be dependent on someone with the authority in Sun who has the vision to see why it is of strategic importance. That really is down to politics not necessarily our version of rationality. One hopes politicians are always informed by rationality but its not always the case and of course different people see rational arguments differently, that is the essence of politics. If the decision maker believes that code efficiency is not too important and will take a lot of effort with little in the way of visible returns they might well go for a short term fix that would translate into eg more desktop sales of Star Office or whatever. strategy would probably be the obvious priority. Sun has other constraints so their perspective could well be different. Point is we don't really know and at least it would motivate the grass roots community members to be part of the discussion. Its months since the launch of 2.0 so there must surely be some plans for 2.1 and 3.0. Its rather surprising that these have not been discussed much here on the discuss list. What is the discuss list for? One would expect to discuss strategy issues at length and then come to some decisions that everyone can get behind. Seems difficult for eg the marketing project to market when there is no clear development path. We also waste a lot of time dealing with threads like the mail client one because no-one knows whether or not the issue is relevant to current plans or not. So what is the development strategy? Is there a reason for it being a secret? -- Ian Lynch www.theINGOTs.org www.opendocumentfellowship.org www.schoolforge.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: org For additional commands, e-mail: org |

You can do this already with send as email. Or maybe you are describing the OLE stuff the Outlook does with Word. If so, what advantage or benefit would this give you? If the same integration between OOo and an email client (eg. TB, Evo), it would be the mail client that would need to have the code to instigate the link, as in the Outlook -> Word case.

Has there been a statement about how this will/won't affect java and OpenOffice.org ? Also will the new CEO Schwartz, as opposed to McNealy's whining, be more supportive of the GPL and the LGPL ? McNealy's done some good things during his tenure, but lately it has seemed like it's time for him to be busy with other things. -Lars Lars Nooden (edu) On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog ... ... until you start barking. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: org For additional commands, e-mail: org |

There you can choose 'Modify Data Range...'. This option is much to tricky to find in the old chart. In the chart reimplementation this option will be offered while editing the chart.

[discuss] OpenOffice.org Premium -- steps for 2.0.3 Posted: 23 Apr 2006 11:57 AM PDT Alexandro Colorado írta: Hello! Thank you for the quick answeer! I have got a good news for you! OpenOffice.org Premium utilize same technology as OpenOffice.org, so we can include templates based on their language. I have created a different pool for Premium extras, but it works like the original. So OOo Premium has two language specific template stack, one is the original, the second is for the premium extras. This one is selectable from the installer. So the technology is available. As you know the Premium edition has more enhancement like Gallery, Fonts and others. They might need some extra work (mainly translation and recompilation with extra contetns) but the Hungarian users liked the idea of all-in-one sollution. Your way to solve this game is also interesting, but currently I prefer the all in one type package...

[discuss] bug OO to MS Posted: 21 Apr 2006 03:02 PM PDT On Fri, 2006-04-21 at 21:50 +0200, Lucas Momparler wrote: Sorry, to tell you that your claim is not true. I have been using OOo (openOffice.org) since it's reincarnation from Star Office 5.2 and of the hundreds of spreadsheets I have sent out to Excel users, none have never contained any unreadable formulas. What you may have found might be an issue not a bug. The ability of OOo to export data in Microsoft file formats may never be 100% perfect (unless publish the details of these currently secret formats), but it 100% better than Microsoft programs ability to export data in Open Document file format. Could you please post an example of a formula (not a Calc Sheet - OOo lists strip attachments ) which does not translate from Calc to Excel. This will allow your claim to be tested by others and if it can be replicated, an issue can be filed for the developers to review. To file an issue/bug report or a request for enhancement go to: http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/TLogin create an account (if you don't already have one) and follow the instructions.
