I am not contributing sample files, debug information, or anything else to OOo due to your policy regarding the downplaying of and habitually marking down the priority/serverity of serious performance-related defects which in a professional development environment would be considered fatal and blocking.
Should OOo's position as a whole change regarding the many, many similar defects I saw in the tracking system, and should they decide that addressing inherent architectural flaws is worthwhile before adding more whiz-bang features, I would be more than happy to assist and contribute to the project. Sadly, this is not the case. Believe me, I know it is a heck of a lot more fun to develop new features than it is to consolidate code, fix performance issues, and address other painful architectural issues where it is difficult to visually show users progress, but it is vital that such issues be resolved as early as possible, because to add more and more features and functionality to a badly-architected and slow-performing project only increases the pain down the road - whether the end result being a program so painful to develop and change that otherwise-willing developers throw up their hands and abandon the project, users get frustrated and turn to alternatives (such as doing what I did - go back to M$ Office, via wine), or simply choose to flame the project managers anywhere and everywhere at every possible opportunity - which reminds me, I should throw up a quick web site citing all of the performance issues OOo has marked down, and add the URL to my signature so that it is publicises on various messageboards and mailing lists. ;) Vindictive? Yes. However, I believe it is warranted given OOo's stance on addressing major defects and performance issues. OOo seemingly prefers to bondo over rust and call it a day. :( --Kim On Sun, 2005-04-03 at 13:38, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: > http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=40758 > > > User maxweber changed the following: > > What |Old value |New value > ================================================================================ > CC|'kimvette' |'kimvette,maxweber' > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Keywords| |oooqa > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > > > ------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Apr 3 09:38:08 -0800 > 2005 ------- > @fst: Frank, did you already receive a sample file from reporter? > What to do with issues like this (unconfirmed + sample doc only sent to SUN)? > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from > Issue Tracker.
