Hi there, On Tue, 2011-01-25 at 18:43 -0800, NoOp wrote: It also still uses soffice.exe et all in Windows; meaning that LO still takes over OOo if both are installed in parallel. Unfortunately, there is some inevitability of conflict here. This would have always been the situation between StarOffice and OpenOffice in the past eg. AFAIK (and I am no expert), we would both want to clobber the same COM component names - and remove them socially on uninstall etc. Short of the typical I notice XYZ other app is the default, do you want to change to me type code that would need adding on both sides, there will be issues here for a while. The latter seems MS like; are LO insistent on obliterating OOo by continuing to use OOo registry entries and executable file names? If you install OO.o over LO - you will find it does the same thing; there is no malice implied on either side. That SVG import still is incomplete and doesn't work properly. In fact SVG import is pretty much an ongoing joke (whether it be OOo-go-oo or LO). Well; it does something useful; we (and you) are welcome to make it better. In my view, something useful is almost always better than nothing, even if it is not perfect. Perhaps the most serious thing it does is showcase the poor performance of draw with lots of complex shapes - something that is intrinsic to draw, but of course not seen if you don't load any data into it ;-) Sorry, but IMO RC4/Final should have waited awhile until some of the more basic bugs were resolved. I am sorry you think so. But rest assured, you'll have plenty of time to fix and test bug fixes for 3.3.1 with us all. It is not as if the baseline we are starting from is bug-free perfection too.

There is an alias file at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~cbosdo/gitdm-lo-config/tree/aliases which can be used to merge several email addresses. My attribution script also extracts all real names from the git logs and prefers a 2-word name over a 1-word name.

The Oracle guys already complained that their name shows up on a Libreoffice web site (ask thorsten), and I did not want to go too far to make people complain (even if it is based on public information anyway). But if the SC says they are fine with affiliations, I can easily add those affiliations that we have identified. Oh, and a mail link at the bottom for corrections (the dev list perhaps?).

1 - Port to a Web based interface (HTML5)

become irrelevant in some time, when Zoho, GoogleDocs, etc. are mature
In many cases, this will be true - but not all.
I have worked with many people in the 'developing world', who rarely have
access to a high
bandwidth connection and who are limited to old, low-spec hardware. I even
know some
who still use Win98 ('because it works').
There is a definate case for supporting 'the cloud'. There is also a clear
case for not

Re: [tdf-discuss] Congratulations my suggestion for the next versions
Hi, Are you talking about a public free cloud? Nobody needs to offer that, as I say, any desktop can work as it's own server, so anyone can install it locally, having a little cloud installed in their own desktop. And if, a company wants to offer it on a server for many people, it will work too. Do you understand what I mean? Any vendor could provide a SaaS solution too. Look at Zimbra (PIM), for example, they have a full functional web interface. Enterprises are looking to reduce TCO with public or private clouds, so that they don't have to manage and administer clients. Cheers!

The problem with sharing a whole desktop is that if you are in a big company you need much more resources. There is an interesting OSS product called ULTEO, which basically does that, but that's just virtualization.
