[tdf-discuss] Getting Action

2012-04-16 Thread Charles Jenkins

Hi, all.

A few months ago, we had some good discussion about improvements to Writer's notes 
feature, in a thread titled Enhancement Request: Comment Ranges

As a result, Chrisoph added a feature request--
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38244

--and a place to vote for it--
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Vote_for_Enhancement#Bug_38244_-_Enable_attaching_comments_to_document_text_ranges_in_Writer

I'd appreciate if anyone who hasn't already done so would go vote for it, but 
the real reason I'm writing today is to ask for other ideas about how to 
encourage implementation of these enhancements.

Would a bug bounty work well for this type of feature? I'm nervous about doing that, 
because I wouldn't want to shell out money for features that don't actually work or don't 
end up making into the real release.

I'm going to have to do more editing in the future, and Microsoft Word 2011 for 
the Mac is just a disaster with regard to comments, so I'm dying to have a 
version of LO that could replace it.

Hi Charles,

Thanks for working on your ideas!

It's basically very simple: if it can be done, and a bounty (or just 
other actions/relations) will make a developer to work on the code, the 
feature will make it to LibreOffice. Core devs are very supportive to 
help new developers people start :-)


HTH  regards,

I would love to see this feature added. IMO the main feature set that 
could stand improvement would be those things that facilitate

arrrgggh. OK i got myself registered on the wiki after some rigamarole. 
Went into Edit pane on that bug  added my comment in the same format as 
all the other ones that are there:


# myCommentHere 


... this is how I always have edited any wiki page.

Preview shows my comment but the page does not. I give up. But I do love 
the idea :-)

REALLY NEVER MIND THIS TIME. I realize i put my comment under the 
disagree subheading. Easy to do for mere mortals who are not 
developers ... I scrolled to the bottom and added my comment, which then 
put it under some strange phrase that was surrounded by things like ' ' 
' and was hard to read so my eye skipped over that line.


Regular people like me shouldn't be allowed into wikis, LOL! The code 
just makes me cross-eyed. I'm glad some sort of voting mechanism has 
been set up, but i look forward to someday seeing feature-voting 
mechanism that just lets those allergic to plain-text coding click 
checkboxes and buttons. Glad I didn't do worse damage, apologies to all 
for the noise.
