Right now AOO on Windows requires a 32 bit version of Java for any
functions that require Java. That restricts us to Java Version 1.8 as no
32 bit version of Java exists.

1.9 and 1.10 are outdated next months. The next LTS Version of Java is
version 11. But AOO doesn't work with Java 11 from user side.

I don't know what we must change so AOO recognize the "Java Runtime".

I think the requirements are a little outdated on [1] in respect of
Java. We should recommend actual official Version. From my understanding

I think so far we recognize 1.7 and 1.8. I do not know how OpenOffice
reacts on 1.9 and 1.10. But I hope on user side it works

With 4.2.0 the requirements on Linux will change but currently the
agreement is to support Windows XP - Windows 10.

For Mac the install requirement shall also stay stable with 10.07.

On Linux side I think the requirement should be the Linux version and
glibc of centOS 5 for 4.1.x for 4.2.x we will have to use CentOS 7,
which sets the minimum for all other installations.

Subject: [discussion] get rid of NOT_AN_OOO_ISSUE

Hi all,

I would like to get rid of the Resolution "NOT_AN_OOO_ISSUE". This
leaves people angry and it is annoying to Copy paste or just rewrite
always the same stuff.

So I wonder if we could add a component user support, and allocate the
users list to it. With that we have a broader community
looking at those
help requests, and handle them like every other Issue. Also maybe the
barrier between developers/testers and user support gets
reduced a bit.

If it is a bug someone can simply change the component and we
can check
for reproducibility. Instead of NOT_AN_ISSUE I would like to
have FIXED
by workaround or something similar.


can you take some time and write your opinion?


my opinion:
Bugzilla is not a support ticket system. If we were to start inviting users 
(through an appropriate category in Bugzilla) to submit support requests here, 
we would be creating additional work for ourselves.

I don't think there will be more satisfaction through more tolerance in the use 
of Bugzilla. See the following example:
For years, we have tolerated misbehavior by users on the German users mailing 
list (users...@openoffice.apache.org), and what we achieve is not happy users, 
but confusion, inefficiency, and frustration among volunteers and users.


Sorry, I understand your concern, but I don't think we can solve the problems 
of misuse of Bugzilla in that way.


greetings,
Jörg


Peter;

As Marcus stated earlier NOT_AN_OOO_ISSUE is a valid response to an
issue that does not have it's roots in AOO and should be used as such.
Bugzilla is a bug tracking system and not an support help desk.

Keith




I agree with Marcus and Keith on this. Maybe some instructions to the 
"closer" of the issue would be to direct the reporter to the forums as 
Dave suggests.

the 4.1.x release branch is a stable one. I don't know of larger changes

Larger releases as the cooking 4.2.0 is of course difference. Here we

imho:

in this thread you are giving the user a wrong answer. 

The user asks for the instructions on this dialog (and the corresponding dialog 
for sending the report):
https://docplayer.org/docs-images/25/5692897/images/80-0.png

However, you are answering about Bugzilla.
Your answer is wrong because you misunderstood the user. That's the problem in 
the spezific case.

Or in other words:
the problem is not Bugzilla, but the message dialog of OpenOffice and the 
question is:
Does this dialog still work properly at all? I don't know.

Do you mean a special blog post? If yes, do you have the link?

I'm with you on this.
My experience, however, with regard to such discussions in the German community 
is unfortunately negative.

OK, that's a different perspective. I can't say anything about that at the 
moment.

Thanks all for your feedback. I am not so sure the Idea carries. However
I would go in depth because maybe there is something we can think about
in the long run.

Markus wrote:

> annoyed / disappointed. Can you proof that?

In a subset of cases we closed we had arguments. We also have improved
the closing comment as a reaction, which controls the outbreak much better.

One example where we had a cry out has been here:

https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=127855

I do also mention this scottish sceptic guy, who ranted exactly on one
of these cases. While I do not want to look to closely on his method I
believe he or in his surrounding someone has been affected by such a
case and he did berserk in an issue and after that on his blog.

But maybe these cases are not as often as the normal cases.

True. I think all the cases where a reset of the Profile does resolve
the Issue may be wrong to close them as NOT_AN_OOO_ISSUE since the Issue
is a corrupted profile. And we do not know the root cause for the
corruption.

And we should consider in finding out if we can not harden openoffice
against this corruption. Most often we do not know if a Issue report has
been fixed with profile reset.

The support request is there. It costs effort to move people into the
right channel i.e. Forums. And it is effort to move an issue that needed
to be first clarified and ended up on Forums to move it to the Channel
of Bugzilla.

I think we have to discuss ways to reduce this border.

I think we need to lower this to improve the recruitment rate. We are
doing pretty bad on this topic in general. I do think that if more users
are on Bugzilla, maybe they start looking into other stuff. Maybe the
Idea is stupid, and not right. But we need to open ways that people can
naturally extend their work that they are doing. Maybe my impression is
also not right, and we need to take care different steps to activate people.

For QA on 4.1.6 we had 7 Release Testers. That is thin. Maybe if people
handle support request they can be more easily activated to handle new
bugs, and then activated for release testing.
