I agree there are problems trying to work out who should be able to see them; but we have some good lists already - eg. those with commit access are people we trust - I don't think this is an insuperable problem. I think there is also a good sized grey area between 'published on the web', and 'made available to a small group of dedicated and trusted individuals'. > The only viable alternative, as mentioned elsewhere in this thread, > is to sanitize the documents to remove 'sensitive' stuff. Completely agreed that we should not be encouraging private attachments unless it is absolutely necessary; I think it should be specific to legacy documents. Unfortunately, for these, which is what DLP is all about, it is probably not feasible to install eg. this set of software: https://sourceforge.net/p/libmwaw/wiki/Home/ And get it running in order to reduce older versions of file formats to minimal documents (though that is of course best practice for newer formats). It is on the other hand probably feasible to have a grab-bag collection of old, legacy documents somewhere - which has a low risk of anything confidential being in them (ie. ~15 years old documents ;-) that is still useful. From the first days I worked on gnumeric, many of our best test documents were sent to the developers, and maintained in a semi-private collection that we used like our crash-testing suite for regression testing. IMHO it's a reasonable & normal request to have a TDF controlled mechanism for building such a thing - but lets put this on the ESC agenda to discuss it there. > You cannot expect volunteers to go through hoops to give you free > support because you are not willing to do your part. I really don't believe that is a fair characterization of Christoph's suggestion =) ATB, Michael. -- michael.me...@collabora.com <><, Pseudo Engineer, itinerant idiot _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
