[discuss] Proposal on a different structure for the communitycouncil

Posted: 10 Jul 2008 12:23 AM PDT

Hi André, all,

First I would like to thanks Michael for his proposal and Cor for the
summary here.

I agree with Michael for more openness, what is disturbing me is this
relying on cvs commit. Lot of contributing members are not committers to
cvs and I even don't know how this metric could be evaluated.
 

agreed 

I don't see any difference if we leave the structure of the Council as
it is currently or do you mean that roles from developers to leads are
eligible? In that last case, the structure is changed?
That leave also a large part of the contributors out of the scheme (I'm
thinking about QA members or Documentation members for example), but it
will be more open than at the moment. 

I second all this points, the CC really needs more life from the community. 

At the end, it underlines again that we don't know who are our
contributors. CVS is one metric, but we should have others. 

+1 ;)

Kind regards
Sophie

[discuss] page delteing

Posted: 03 Jul 2008 05:09 AM PDT

Why is deleting extra page from document such a mission impossible?
Is there some special option for this? With Del or Backspace it allways
deletes contents from foregoing page.

OK, I just noticed you are asking for confidentiality - I don't really
see how that is compatible with the open source development model.

Scientific words are specialist words. I work in the Web. Would you like
your dictionary to contain all the specialist words of the computer
industry (words like foo, bar, foobar, Perl, ALGOL and Borroughs). I
used to work as an electrician, there was a specialist list of words for
that too. I also worked at a Hydro Electrical Generating station and the
list of words for that was different for that to the normal house wiring
industry. By the way not all names are in the dictionary, but some are.
I find Biblical and Royal names come up a lot, but if you are in the
baby naming businness you probably want the lot in there.

By the way what science are you in? I beleive the list of specialist
technical word will vary depending if it is brain surgery, rocket
science, or nuclear physics. I think if all aspects of science and every
other specialty covered by the dewey decimal system was taken into
account the dictionary would be larger than the OO.o program and doing
a spellcheck would be a prohibitive excercise.

I also believe that specialist dictionaries of words for specialist
purposes do exist. You may find that someone has added the one you want
as a dictionary already, if you are prepared to narrow down your request
to specifics.

[discuss] OpenOffice saves the day

Posted: 08 May 2008 04:44 PM PDT

I had a similar experience with an Excel spreadsheet many years ago,
it crashed Excel when opened but StarOffice could open it no problem.
My colleagues were very impressed. Similar problem with a Word
document - I couldn't save it, and I couldn't either shut down or
launch a new instance of Word, so I launched StarOffice and copy-
pasted the contents across and saved it.
