We have good reasons to move to a newer MacOS platform SDK (explained already) if we don't want to risk to run in problems on newer or future MacOS versions. APIs are already deprecated by Apple and we have to take this into account. I also promised that we can give support if anybody is interested to invest the time in supporting an older SDK than 10.7 and potentially also a 32 bit version for MacOS. Our plan is to focus on modern systems only and especially on Mac the situation is different than on Linux. Newer Mac systems are all running on 64 bit. It is not the question of 32 or 64 bit on Mac but more which platform SDK we need as baseline. To repeat it again AOO 4.1 will require the 10.7 SDK and if somebody is interested to work on support for 10.6 stand up now. And for Linux 32 bit binaries are not built automatically and we spent a lot of time on it. We need an older baseline that is not supported by infra on the Apache bots, means we can't easy use the build bots for our releases. Where are the volunteers who take care of this? Where are the volunteers who convince infra that we need at least 2 VMs (32 and 64 bit) that matches our baseline. Currently it is not a problem and it is clear that 32 bit Linux is widely used. But anybody who is requesting here the support should think about it. I have enough other things to do and this is a community project, anybody can help to provide the binaries on his own machine that matches the baseline.

Re: Draft of document corruption survey
Good idea! Do you want to translate this survey in another language?

If we can point the users to a survey like this, we can collect all the relevant information in one place and hopefully detect the patterns and narrow down the possible causes. There is more I need to do on the finer details of the survey, to add some screen shots, fix up the next, make some fields context sensitive (only ask Windows version for Windows users, for example). But I'd like to see if there are any top-level things I should change? Any new additional questions, for example? Feel free to try it out, enter some data, etc. But don't use it for real reports yet since I'm planning on tossing out any test data and starting the survey over again when ready.

Up to now I haven't found the root cause. css needs to follow order so h2.a and p.a styles need to be copied into a.h2 and a.p styles - this may be tedious. That depends on the cascade. > 4) I read that the navigation menus, which we have on the top of every page, as well as on the side of many prominent pages, will be read by screen readers, making it harder to get to the actual main content of the page.

loadComponentFromURL - Solaris 11 OO 3.3
Hello,
I have OpenOffice 3.3 installed and running on my Solaris x86 system. Things
run under normal user experience, but if I run a custom application it fails on
loadComponentFromURL("private:factory/scalc", "_blank, 0, loadProps).
This code works fine on a Solaris 10 system running OO 3.3. Here is some of
the stack trace that java produces.
Register to memory mapping:
EAX=0x090bbe40 is an unknown value
EBX=0xfe762000: _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_+0 in /libc.so.1 at 0xfe60
Stack [oxddc51, 0xddd4f000], sp=0xddd4c520, free space=1005k
Native frames: (J=compiled Java code, j=interpreted, Vv=VM code, C=native code)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, I had to type this stack trace so
I only provided what I thought was pertinent. Please let me know if you need
more.

Creating 32-bit Linux packs on 64-bit Linux: is it possible for us?
After the conversations of yesterday regarding (I think) developer time AND buildbot machines (currently we don't have a CentOS in any variety for our binary creations): http://markmail.org/message/qlxcwhqsg5uxutd2 I got to wondering and doing a teeny tiny bit of research concerning building 32-bit binaries on 64-bit Linux machines thinking maybe ONE 64-box would suffice for both these needs. It seems it can be done -- in a generic sense -- but I don't know if any of what I read can be applied to our situation. I would love to hear what anyone has to say about this. Thoughts? Experience? -- - MzK "Cats do not have to be shown how to have a good time, for they are unfailing ingenious in that respect." -- James Mason
Hello to the Apache Project Team
Good evening, I came across the Apache Open Office software and find it intriguing. I like what I read so decided to invest a little time each week to work on project materials in the areas that help is needed. I am not a computer programmer or coder, however; I am very creative and able to navigate my way through directions and can "think outside the box." I am a licensed professional counselor and a certified addictions therapist in South Dakota at a non-profit company I started. I am working with high risk offenders, vulnerable populations in a culturally diverse office setting, and best of all using Equine Assisted Learning in all my individual and group settings. I look forward to being a part of a creative team invested in providing a service to others - especially in the computer technology arena. My best regards, Shari Bradstream Shari L.

Suggested modifications to Open Office Draw
Ian Symons ian.sym...@yahoo.com.au 15 Jan 2014 dev@openoffice.apache.org RE: Suggested modifications to Open Office Draw Hello, The following suggestions generally have work around solutions, however performing such is a real pain when these are common actions. 1. Re the ruler on the left side, please orientate the numbers horizontally. The vertical numbering blends together and is unreadable. 2. Re Snap Lines, Snap Points and Grid a. It is a common error that when positioning lines and shapes that the Snap Line or Snap Point is accidentally moved slightly. This is often not noticed immediately. Please provide an option to lock these Snaps into their set position. b. It would also be nice when dragging such Snaps that the X-Y co-ordinates are displayed during the dragging, and displayed for say 1 second after the mouse button is released. It provides confirmation to the user that the setting was not altered upon releasing the mouse button. c. It would be very good if the Snaps could be grouped with an object and: d. that upon copying and pasting onto another page that those Snaps are also retained (the position would be relative to where you placed the group on the page). e. I do not know if there is already a way to do this, but it would be a big help if when dragging Snaps that they would snap to the selected grid. f. And I do not see any way to specify the grid divisions. Again, this would be a help. 3. Please provide a line circular arc tool that lets you: a. Specify the origin (point of rotation) b. Specify the radius c. Specify the arc begin angle d. Specify the arc end angle e. Allows an option to close the curve at the origin to create a segment 4. Please provide a line arc tool that lets you click on a line and convert it to a circular arc – the point would appear at the centre of the line and be dragged at a normal to the line So instead of Modify – To Curve you would also have Modify – To Circular Curve 5. Please provide an option to allow a line to be specified in two ways, shown on the one dialog box a. Origin, length and angle b. Begin point and end point 6. It is a real major pain that intersecting lines cannot be selected and fragmented at their intersecting point(s). Please fix this. 7. Please make it easy to add onto a line by clicking onto a line, selecting an end point, then selecting a line tool (line, arc, polygon) and then just use that line tool to extend the original line. 8. Lastly, I know this is not intended to be a 3D Cad program. But a few features would help. a. Have the ability to group several shapes before rotation. b. When the 3D view comes up, have buttons to select the front, top, bottom and side views (a total of 6 views). c. This is a big one – some ability to edit 3D shapes Thanks everyone. Best regards, Ian
Introduction-Isaak Nate
Hello Apache OpenOffice Team, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Isaak Natenzon and I am from New York, I found this e-mail through uTest, where I am a SQA Tester. I am familiar with OpenOffice because I have used it in the past. I got certified MCSE and CCNA back in 2000. I worked as a network admin for Fleet Securities/ Quick and Reilly located at 14 Wall Street, New York. After a period of time I got bored with this field, I found that it was not exciting and innovative as I imagined and coincidentally was invited to a business venture in a totally different industry. I was out of the IT field for a while, however, I tried to stay up to date with technology, and every opportunity that came up working with technology for family and friends, I was there to volunteer. Recently I was introduced by a friend to SQA Testing, watched a few James Bach seminars and I was hooked. I am interested in getting into the SQA Testing seriously and would like to contribute to OpenOffice development, and build SQA experience. P.S. Keep up the good work, and hope I can be of assistance. Regards, Isaak Natenzon
