Hi,
I think LibO is alot better in compatibility than OO.org as alot of work
was put into LibO during the OO.org Apache switch, which was the reason
i didnt bother doing my testing on it. Using office.com might return
problems not available in the offline editions, and i'm not sure how
extensive compatibility is. Yes the QA-ML seems to be the right place
for me and i have registered.

Hi,
Hmmm I guess that OO.org and LibO are close to equivalent, maybe LibO just a
tiny bit better.... I do not know anything else to be honest (i have Office
2010 on Win 7). Anyway, if there are problems with basic things, maybe you
could try this https://office.com/start/default.aspx you can upload the files
to OneDrive, isolate (delete) the issues, download the file and open it in
LibreOffice and save it....
It seems you might be right @ QA-ML of LibO:

Hi Florian,
Well the intent of my testing is to determine which linux office suite can best
handle docx compatibility, so that i can suggest that suite to users who are
making the shift from windows and bringing their office 2007+ documents with
them, in addition to submitting bugs to LibreOffice's bug tracker as its the
FOSS office suite. Regarding 'minimal' test cases, i dont regularly create
documents in microsoft office and the last version of it that i have is office
2000 or xp, so its not possible for me to create original .docx files in it to
show that particular error, but if that is what is needed, i can have a friend
who uses office 2010 or 2013 edit the file to isolate the issue. If i can
assist the document liberation project, than i'm more than willing to do so if
its in my capacity.

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
