------- Additional comments from j_por...@openoffice.org Fri Jul 2 12:00:17 +0000 2010 ------- @cornouws: I think your indignation is rather misplaced. Most of my participation and contributions to the open source community have been on other projects, but I don't see how it's relevant. Thanks for trying to make it a personal issue though, that's very professional of you. On other major open source projects that use public bug trackers, like the linux kernel project, or x.org, or Ubuntu, there is almost always some sort of public feedback from the primary developers on the status of issues that are extant but either cannot be fixed due to other blocking issues or will not be fixed (yet) due to time or resource limitations. You should go back through and read the comments in this bug report and look at the dates as you go... the sound of crickets is strong on this one. Remember, using a public tracker is not only intended to help solicit assistance from the community, it is also intended to build public confidence in your product and the methodology that you use to refine and improve it. It's a two-way street. If the primary developers aren't willing to respond publicly and constructively to bug reports, then much of the intended transparency is lost, and over time so will the public support and goodwill that are necessary for these kinds of projects to exist. This is especially important on long-standing bug reports that directly affect the project's viability for real world (commercial) adoption, like this one. Back to the topic at hand... if you'd like to point out where in the enormous OOo codebase these kind of cell display rules are located, I'm sure there are a nontrivial number of devs in the public community, myself included, who would be more than happy to take a look and try to assist. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
