--- Comment #2 from George Masters <gmaste...@yahoo.com> 2012-03-22 22:43:33 PDT --- Sasha, I do understand the concern about the perceived obsolescence of SWF, the technology used in Flash. The reality of the matter is that educational institutions worldwide still use it for courseware preparation and most likely will to do so continue until HTML 5 multimedia standards become ratified by the W3C and the browsers catch up. Currently, a great deal of courseware is designed with tools like Captivate and Articulate as well as Poto mention two industry-standard development tools. These tools can be difficult for some classroom teachers to learn and most already know how to use MS PowerPoint. Some then take the PowerPoint or Impress Presentation and use third-party tools to get Flash with audio. Courseware without audio is very old-school and not in vogue. If Impress could do that as advertised, it would be a big coup. I think that we as users in the open-source community need to look at what's in demand rather than just what's hot development technology. I do understand the need to research and develop the new technologies and for our developers to continue extend the technology envelope. The open-source community has made great strides not only with Libre Office/OpenOffice.org, but with improving the usability of Linux for the masses. History in my opinion has shown us that had the Unix gurus of the 70's and 80's not been so cavalier in their attitude that Unix was for engineers and windows for the masses, Microsoft may not have become the giant near monopoly it has become.

IMHO no sense to improve exporting to it. It would be much useful to add exporting to video format -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
