--- Comment #14 from Björn Michaelsen <bjoern.michael...@canonical.com> ---
Multiple clarifications on this:
- This is not an easyhack -- or only a very hard one. It has likely the scale
of a small GSOC project (writer layout/view modifications plus general UI
changes make it nontrivial)
- Please note this is an enhancement, not a bug fix. For bug fixes we encourage
and invite users to point out the most glaring ones to be fixed quickly as it
is a priority for all contributors and users. For enhancement requests (which
are existing in abundance for a wide range of ideas), once mark with a HIGH
importance, endusers can for example help out in the following ways:
-- buy support from one of those packaging LibreOffice or supporting it
otherwise and escalating the issue there
-- sponsor a developer directly
-- motivate, set up and support an existing developer to mentor the
implementation in a GSOC
-- possible more ways I forgot
There is NO lack of competence(*) to solve this issue. That is absolute
nonsense. It is just quite a bit of work that needs a volunteer or a sponsor.
Please refrain from 'I want this too'-comments, unless you found a way to
sponsor the work. Apart from that the issue is currently marked
HIGH/ENHANCEMENT, so there is really no need to further drive that point.
Note none of this means that this isnt an important enhancement that would not
be valuable to add, just that there are others (and esp. bugfixes) that are
even more important.
As the discussion of "how to sponsor an enhancement" is not specific to this
issue, please do not continue to discuss it here, but on the mailing lists
(where it is helpful to the general public).
(*) commenter used to work at Oracle btw (as the linked bugs opened in 2008 and
2002 show it didnt enjoy exactly priority there too)
