Óvári <ovar...@gmail.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |ovar...@gmail.com --- Comment #2 from Óvári <ovar...@gmail.com> --- (In reply to Yousuf (Jay) Philips from comment #0) A list of reasons for keeping the status quo is the optimal solution, i.e. the current arrangement where all the languages are in one file. 1. How would the new arrangement change the installation instruction (cf. http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/install-howto/windows/) without complicating them further? 2. It could create confusion for LibreOffice users if there are different downloads for different locations. 3. In multicultural Australia there is a large likelihood that there is a person from almost every nation that LibreOffice supports is in Australia. Spelling checkers/grammar checkers/thesauri for English and another language is convenient by being bundled in the one installer. 4. It was interesting to note that you listed ro (Romanian) in LibreOffice-westEU hu (Hungarian) in LibreOffice-eastEU when *hu* is more west and *ro* is more east. 5. There may be request to bundle LibreOffice on political alliances, eg. have a installer which has all the EU member states included. 6. The current set-up with separate downloads for each offline help in the language seems very simple on all account, except perhaps if there a download limits. Perhaps solutions could be found like: a) bundling LibreOffice on the cover DVD of computing magazines b) hosting LibreOffice on local ISP ftp servers c) some other creative options which would not divert the resources of TDF from enhancing LibreOffice, Document Liberation 7. You mentioned that this concept would not work for Linux. Microsoft may be a temporary platform as: a) Moving a city to Linux needs political backing, says Munich project leader http://www.pcworld.com/article/2082460/moving-a-city-to-linux-needs-political-backing-says-munich-project-leader.html b) Russia Plans to Move to Linux http://news.softpedia.com/news/russia-plans-to-move-to-linux-500278.shtml c) German town of Gummersbach migrates to Linux http://osssa.org.za/2014/10/07/german-town-of-gummersbach-migrates-to-linux/ d) There may be other migrations to Linux happening, whether in government or business, that are not in the news The current arrangement WorksForMe. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-ux-advise mailing list Libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-ux-advise
