Hi Jay,
I had no time to watch the talk myself, but what I can say is: In the
LibreOffice-project we lack time (like people workdays). I would
appreciate someone deeper involved in the documentliberation project
than me to present his/her opinion.... As far as I understood, there is
no seperate bugtracker ATM (or even "products", but that may change).
Having a shared bugzilla with LibreOffice would make a lot of sense (the
filters as single products, which in fact they are). So yes, it is
important to have the documents and the diffs (opening in LibO, no edit
saved in LibO. [From the unzipped file, as docx, odt are zipped AFAIK]).
Okay up until here I was neutral, and now something I hope does not
sound impolite or even rude: If a bug is not in the database, it is not
a bug [Like: "we cannot do anything against it"]. I also do fear, that
your documents are not "minimal" test cases. Your iniative (and please
do not take the following as rude) does not make a lot of sense yet. Do
not understand me wrong, you present the status quo, but that won't
change as much as it could. Furthermore it would be important to have a
dev which actually does the change (e.g. I am working at this project
[LibreOffice] in my spare time,as well as many developers do. Of course
some get paid to fix something, but that is professional support). What
i want to say here: It's not about looking at the docs, they have to be
a small test document showing the error. If it is in the database a dev
is needed, which wants to fix this problem. All in all this is a long,
time consuming task. What I know of the QA department in the projects we
lack man-hours, so none of us can take care of the documentliberation
stuff as well [although we have the same goals and the same foundation
AND the same bugs]. Of course everyone would be willing to assist you at
the beginning, but in my opinion we can not be that end-user oriented
just now
So thank you for reading that paragraph. Some small things: At the
moment this mailinglist is a very low frequented one, so please do not
unsubscribe. Your work IS appreciated, but it would be good if you could
invest some hours a week/month. What I know is, that this is the only
documentliberation-mailinglist yet, so you should be right here....
Again thanks for reading, looking forward to hearing your answer :)
Florian

I am doing extensive docx and doc conversion tests on libreoffice
from files pulled from microsoft's website and posting the results
to my twitter feed, and @libreoffice <

that i send in the results to this mailing list.
So far i've done two tests and the results of them are available in
these links as zip files.

In the root folder of each zip file is the original .docx from
microsoft's website, a .doc that was converted using the Microsoft
Office Compatibility Pack (msocp), tweets.txt containing the tweets
i made about the test, and pdf files named according to which
.docx/.doc file that was used and which LibreOffice version was used
to produce it. The zip file also has a 'LibO convert' folder that
contains saved doc, rtf, docx, and odt files saved from the original
.docx file in various LibreOffice versions, along with the pdf
export of these after the file is reopened in LibreOffice. The saved
doc, rtf, and docx files are also opened with msocp and the pdf
export of the files are also found to compare against the
LibreOffice produced pdf.
I also send in bug reports for a number of the bugs i find.
