[discuss] OpenOffice set Qualifications

Posted: 10 Nov 2006 08:26 PM PST

The difference between INGOTs and ECDL/ICDL is that INGOTs are more
concerned with learning related to transferable ICT skills,
understanding open systems and participating in open source communities.
ECDL/ICDL is much more about testing specific skills related to specific
applications. At the Learning Machine Ltd we are primarily interested in
education that underpins readiness for change and we are less concerned
about qualifications that are specific to a single application. Our view
is that people properly educated in ICT can transfer their skills across
applications without specific training and that this is a much more
sensible approach in the 21st Century given the rate of technological
change.

We are about to undertake a trial in collaboration with the Shuttleworth
Foundation in South Africa where ICDL is used and it could be that there
are complementary aspects to each approach. Certainly when it comes to
take up by entire schools and colleges, the INGOT way of doing things is
a lot less expensive which will be critical for mass adoption in cash
strapped economies that are adopting OOo for economic reasons.

Hi,
 

I hope you meant pull-down rather than pop-up? Pop-up sounds like an
additional window to me - or some other intrusive way of
JavaScriptOFancyNess. ;-)
 
..

Very true.
 

If all native language projects have domains in the pattern of
XX.openoffice.org with XX being the usual language abbreviation, than it
should in theory be possible to even have a little script probing for
the existence and compile a list fully automatically.

Andr=E9.

[discuss] software need

While OO has applications that work for publishing applications, they do not
work as well as MP. So your best bet would try a piece of software that is
called Scribus, this is a professional page layout program that is open
source and free.



I am hoping that OO will eventually make a page layout program in the
future:)



Hope this helps

[discuss] HELP! file recovery

Posted: 02 Nov 2006 10:12 PM PST

> The point is not to rely on any one format when encrypting.

But why would you rely on compression software for encryption in the
first place. If you are wanting to protect something, use a proper
encryption utility (eg, PGP).

The encryption in OOo is to prevent the XML files from being read
(since OOo files are all zipped together) and I agree that if I wanted
to encrypt something I wouldn't use OOo either - I would use a purpose
built encryption utility.

IMHO however I tend to place more trust in open source implementations
of anything than close sourced equivalents. But thats just me...

But as to the OP question, unfortunately I don't think there is much
that can be done to recover your document...
