Thanks for your understanding. The previous commenter has disqualified himself
sufficiently by the way he wrote and by showing that he doesn't have the
slightest idea of how this (indeed important) feature has to be implemented. I
wouldn't comment his trolling attempt at all but I feel the need to support your
appreciative comment with some data and arguments.

First I have to admit that we have a very unfortunate situation. In my humble
opinion it can't be denied that OOo developers ignored some important features
for far too long. But knowing this today does not give us the implementation
immediately for all these missing features. We have 5,6 or more important
missing features where each of them will take 2-3 months or more to be
implemented. As the time until 3.0 Beta is limited we can't do all of them. This
is a simple math that can't be overcome by comments like the ones of your two
immediate predecessors.

I'm very pleased that we are able to implement at least an improved notes
functionality (BTW: this one is No. 1 in the list of votes!), the centered view
(No.6), and hopefully the multiple page view (No.2 in the list). I would be glad
to have the normal view (No.8) and the (IMHO even more important and also more
requested) outline view for (No.4) 3.0 also but this is just impossible in the
time remaining. Please consider that we also have to fix many bugs, implement a
new docx filter etc.

The "preconditions" I have written about aren't an excuse, they just describe
what has to be done to get the feature implemented. And we are already working
on them.
