--- Comment #7 from kivi <k...@mail.orbitel.bg> --- In response to comment 6, I would say that the approach where we just keep doing things the way we've done it in the past is not a good approach. We must adapt quickly and qualitatively to the coming changes. Samba servers in many places are now ubiquitous. There are entire countries that refuse to use or are financially unable to use Microsoft, and their entire government machine goes to Linux. That is where LibreOffice has the greatest chance for growth and development. But there file servers everywhere are Samba servers. Almost everywhere there are already societies that seek to share data through such servers and do not have available system administrators. For example, educational institutions, scientific groups, various types of clubs, museums, public libraries, etc. ... There, the user opens his laptop, connects to the network (if he can), accesses the file servers, which in most cases are Samba (if he can) and runs whatever he needs. If he can't, he either looks for other software tools to get the job done, or is left without access and can't do what he planned. This is the perfect place for free solutions and most such users try to do it themselves. Mandatory system administrators only exist in the corporate world. That is, it is precisely for this type of user that LibreOffice documentation is needed so that they can handle it themselves. And LibreOffice must give them such an opportunity if it wants not to lose them as its customers. If we continue to pretend that there is only Windows and various other proprietary solutions in this world and expect to rely only on sysadmins, then we are missing the train and will only watch it go into the future without our input. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
