[libreoffice-design] UX -> question on a new dialog

2010-12-07 Thread Sophie Gautier

Hi all, Christoph,

I don't know if I should post here the question/concern I have about a 
new dialog appeared in LibO in beta2 or 3 (can't remember), but at 
least, I know you're there Christoph ;-)


Under the Writer Format menu, there is a new dialog named Title Page. 
Several localizer had difficulties to understand what it really does in 
fact. I find it not precise enough and not in accordance with the Style 
name it used (First page) and should represent. Also the title of the 
first part: Make Title Pages look strange to me, I would have say Create 
or Change to Title Pages.


So you see, I don't know where to express my questioning about this 
dialog, I don't want to open an issue because I've no solution to 
propose for a better naming :) I let it up to you ;)


Kins regards
Sophie

Re: [libreoffice-design] SilverStripe site progress review

Hi, :-)

As you know, I'm currently leading the content creation on the
SilverStripe site. I'm putting in hours of work everyday, and it's
making great progress. I had planned that it would be ready for
Tuesday, December 14, but I think it's more realistic to say that this
is going to take another 3 or 4 days. But I am not going to stop work
before all pages of the IA I have set up all have content. By
Christmas Eve, I am determined that the site will be LIVE and visible
on http://libreoffice.org.

When the basic content is up on all pages, there will be a period of
24 to 48 hours maximum for you all to make suggestions and comments,
after which I will act on the feedback. I will then request Florian to
go ahead and roll out the live site.

Right now, I am asking you to provide content for specific pages
RAPIDLY within the next 48 hours (it is currently 22:00 CET on
Tuesday, December 14 2010).

Please take a look at http://test.libreoffice.org. There is a whole
lot more content there already.

There is already a page under Features, but I am asking you to submit
me content by e-mail for the following sub-pages:

- Writer
- Draw
- Impress
- Draw
- Base
- Math
- Extensions


I'll send you some content for Draw, Base, Math and Extension at the end 
of my day. My English is far from good, so if the quality is to bad just 
send it to the trash and ask somebody else ;) In the meantime if 
somebody else is taking the task, just tell me, I'll stop.

Re: [libreoffice-design] Extensions List suggestion

Hi Michael,

The idea is to have a suggest an extension, then approval system prior to
publishing on the extensions directory. The same theory will be used for a
templates library as they also represent high value 'addons' to out
software.
We have been avoiding a public publishing system like a wiki for these, as
extensions and templates that we suggest also reflect on the quality of our
product.


Can you tell me where does this come from? Where this decision has been 
discussed and taken and by whom? The fact that we don't use the OOo site 
is to satisfy a request that has nothing to do with quality.


We are an open source project, why should we prevent somebody to 
contribute for whatever reason? what are the criteria for the quality 
you're talking about, where are they written, who is the person giving 
the approval? That would be funny that people could contribute to OOo 
but not to LibO...


Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hi Sophie, :-)

Truthfully, your interpretation of what that text refers to is
erroneous... they are talking of screenshots of Microsoft products

no need to worry. You see screenshots of software running under
Windows *all over the Internet*... ;-) We're perfectly safe. ;-)


No, it's not my interpretation (I know I may not have a full 
understanding of another language :), we never get a firm statement but 
only different interpretations from lawyers, this is why we have decided 
to not use screen shots made using Windows. I can't remember where the 
discussions occurs on the OOo site, maybe website list, I'll point you 
to the archives otherwise.


It may sound stupid, but can you imagine that I had to declare people 
using ssh for the OOoFR site in France several years ago because the 
encryption we used was not allowed and considered as a security issue. 
I'm sure the Debian contributors never have to do so. Just to say that 
we have to be cautious.


In any case, I already took a large number of screenshots, and our
documentation is *full* of screenshots taken under Windows, so this
would involve an *enormous* amount of work to rectify.. ;-)


Yes may be, but it's not a sufficient reason to continue to take the 
risk :). The more we are visible and known, the more we are exposed.

The branding is not respected. I think that Christoph means that we have

Also, this help our visitors to make sure that they are not visiting a

On 1/31/2011 3:07 PM, Kevin Soviero wrote:

What was the reason they gave for not changing it?


The main reason is that so far, the LibreOffice product has not really
separated from OpenOffice.org, the code and documentation are
essentially being developed together. (Even the rebranding of the
documents just to go to LibreOffice is a good-sized project.) When LibO
becomes a truly separate product, the names may be changed, though the
earlier thread didn't really come to a conclusion about what the names
should be. One set of possibilities is Write, Spread or Spreadsheet,
Present, Base or Database, Draw, Formula -- but these are not all nouns
or all verbs, and it isn't easy to come up with that kind of
consistency. It's also hard to make them "catchy" without also making
them obscure; Microsoft was able to get away with obscurity because they
had such a huge market share, but LibreOffice can't start there.


I would just like to add a small note here, when thinking of changing 
the names, please keep in mind that they are not translatable. Though we 
will use them in all the languages we are offering a version (around 80 
right now).
This to say that the names need to be easy and simple to pronounce in 
almost any languages, but also easy to read and write too (think to 
complex script writings, etc). Currently all the names quite fill this 
requirements (Writer is not so easy to pronounce everywhere).

Thanks for answering, I need a logo approved by the members of the

so I like that this was located in my country.


This topic is related to team interaction and marketing, even if it
looks pretty simple at the first sight.

While crossposting to marketing I'll inform projects@LibO as another
relevant mailing list about our thread.

Traditionally our community is organized on language rather than on
countries.


yes


Therefore the Spanish language team is designed to work together on
language related issues, user support, documentation and so on,
because most resources can be shared.


yes


The only area, where this language based approach is limited, is
Marketing:

Here local activities are important: Physical presence on fairs and
conferences, personal contact to journalists, business people and
administration decision makers can't be reached by community members
from other parts of the world.


exactly, and Spanish speaking community being very large, it's the 
language for which it's the most relevant to have dedicated local groups 
able to work, meet and share together.


Back to dedicated logos for different teams:

It is very reasonable to design a common logo theme consisting of the
LibreOffice logo in combination with a graphical (or textual)
representation of the dedicated team.

But as mentioned above, I don't know if the team you want to create a
logo for shares most of it's interests with the other Spanish teams -
in this case I'd like to see you share a common logo strengthening the
language based character of the LibreOffice community.

If you need a logo to represent the local marketing activities in
Venezuela, I'm fine with it.

This is what we are looking for, you can even review an example of what
we mean

http://www.flickr.com/photos/back69/

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Material/es


Do you know about marketing activities in other areas of Spanish
speaking Middle- and South America?

At this point we are making great efforts to integrate Spanish speaking
community including Spain and all Latin American countries
http://es.libreoffice.org In it there are resources like mailing lists,
irc channel # libreoffice-is, Group Facebook, Twitter, Identi.ca and
others.


yes, and thanks a lot for your great work on that, I hope your efforts 
will bring a lot of members in.



Can yo collaborate and use your material interactively? Should we
think of a Central American LibreOffice Marketing Logo?

The material we're using for the Hispanic community is a material
located at a neutral Spanish so that everyone can grasp the essence of
the message sent. Has not been raised to have a logo for the region, but
if an opportunity arises in having a logo located to identify the local
user groups in each country for local marketing purposes, attendance at
events, material such as shirts, hats, posters between others. This is
also required to write letters of sponsorship, organizing events, among
other things, because otherwise businesses and people would think that
this is a transnational corporation that sought to profit in any way



When I speak of localized concerns me putting the flag of Venezuela
or any particular icon of my country, can be an icon of a typical
meal or some typical musical instrument of Venezuela, clear that
these ideas should be approved by team members.


I hope I understood your points and described well enough, why it is
not "just" creating a Venezuela logo, but one of the central topics of
the international and interlingual approach of LibreOffice.

If you are uncertain about one of my thoughts, please ask for
explanation. If you disagree, just tell me. And if you can reply to
some of my questions above, it would be great to get some replies.

My single concern is that our power could become split in small and

To me, it is the right one, because:

   * Colors and form respect the requirements for the use on various

   * The conference part (right side) may be used separately (e.g. in

You can find the preview of the study here:

Of course data and everything will be open - you just

out for the LibreOffice project on there.

What we need now from you:

Any kind of feedback for the english version.

Once the english version is fixed, we need translations
into as many languages as possible - we can only provide
German next to English...


You can count me in for French. For other translations, you should ask 
on the l10n list, or pick the existing translations in Pootle. Make a 
search on the English term and you'll have the translation in the 
corresponding language.

You have well done. The only thing is that it's a enhancement and not a
bug as Calc is designed to work like that. To change this behavior to
act as you want, you have to maintain the Alt key (you can come on the
FR lists if you need help or confirmations on functionality). But as you
said, we always can think to change a behavior if it doesn't fit the
user understanding.

When you create a frame using Insert > Frame, this frame appears in the

it has currently the icon used for inserting text frame from the Draw
bar (this last one doesn't appear in the Navigator).

refresh, but hey guys, we all make bugs :)
So to all who participated, don't be disappointed, be like all of us
when we find that finally our hard work has some imperfection that makes
it difficult to accept for others (and be sure that it happens to all of
us more than one time), take a breath and go on!

Where to go from here? Do we cancel the refresh (Pawel, your proposal is
not possible because of feature and l10n freeze), do you think there is
another one that will fit more than the proposed one? (I'm still
struggling with l10n issues so don't have time to look at your links).
Mirek, what would be your position on this?
And again to all, thanks a lot for your work on the design of our
product and project.

Kind regards
Sophie

I must admit that I don't tried them in situation, but most of the
people commenting on your work will do the same as me (but I'll test it
tomorrow). This is another discussion so I won't clutter this one, but
will come back to it when this issue is closed, you need better
ways/tools to reflect and to be able to communicate on your work.

Hum, changing the proposal when the voting has already begun is not the

including this proposal or do we handle it differently?

Because they are contributors to the project: l10n, QA, documentation,
support, marketing. And so I think it's good to be inclusive when it's
about the product we all work on on a day to day basis. More it's also
a good way to show what you're achieving.
Note: you're the one to decide, that didn't prevent them to have a

Google Summer of Code is well known as GSoC from the developer side,

The Design team has chosen Redmine because it's not only about discussion
but a whole workflow for them.
If you plan to become part of the team I really encourage you to read the
wiki and the tickets on Redmine to get the full picture of what they want
to achieve

Lot of work is going on Redmine and even the marketing team is thinking
about a setting a similar workflow, so it's not private or separate, if a
team find it convenient to their worflow, it's only a tool.

I don't think that Mirek was suggesting that :-) It has proven that the
workflow on the mailing list was not efficient enough for the design team,
so if Redmine is better for their work, there is no problem, on the
contrary, we want their beautiful work :).
We will change the information on the right places and will help others to
reach the team, that's not a problem.

But the forum is only a part of the tool here, so if the whole workflow

Ok, thanks for your further explanation. The things is that most of the
times QA team has no clue if it's a valid enhancement or not (because of
missing info in the bug, knowledge, etc). So either they could close a
valid request or accept one which is not possible to implement. See the
example with conditional formating and contextual menu where it now applies
to a range and not a cell.
For both, the submitters and the reviewers, this is not a good workflow.
But what you proposed is a great compromise.  Thanks Stuart for all what
you do in our project and the way you do it  :-)

That's the point of this discussion, thanks Rimas to make it :-)
L10n team can always react, and earlier now, but making the scripting part
of the commit or part of the 'one making the change' is more natural in the
workflow.  In other words, our product is not en_US only.

What we should take care though is to not over complicate the work of l10n
team by relying on this fact. So as I already said, it should be a shared
work and vigilance by the concerned teams.
