I didn't have time to investigate this until now. This is clearly coming from a patch applied on openSuSE builds, but not only. I started working on it now and hope to get it fixed really soon. -- Cedric -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

You need to make sure you commit new code with a correct full name and email address. After that we could setup an alias to merge all luctur commits to the ones of your name.

If he committed the changes as patches and the dictionary is in git repos, then he should appear... otherwise I don't think there is any way to change that other than adding entries manually.

To start a list we could add: + XSL transformations (an easy hack to replace by libxsl) + Base HSQLDB backend + Base report builder (using Pentaho IIRC) + Impress HTML export wizards + Possibly other wizards in Writer and Impress + Misc UNO extensions > With a list it would be easier to determine if it is feasible to replace > those components. Removing Java completely is a No-go for me as this would prevent developers to write extensions and automation in Java. There are currently no other quick and simple way to extend OOo / LO for people who don't really care about the internals. Removing all Java dependencies from LO (and then removing the Java UNO bridge) would mean that we will exclude: * Java extensions developers & users * Java external apps using LO The JVM isn't started unless some Java code needs to be run... I would go for removing as much as possible (mostly the XSLT and Base things) but keep it around for the UNO bridge: this would help us gain on performance. -- Cédric Bosdonnat LibreOffice hacker http://documentfoundation.org OOo Eclipse Integration developer http://cedric.bosdonnat.free.fr -- Unsubscribe instructions: Email to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines: http://netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html Archive: http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived ***
Re: [tdf-discuss] LibO roadmap?

Sure, we would need to improve common problems, but I'm sure that the bibliographic improvements could help students and researchers to use LibreOffice for their work... which is currently quite hard. One of the points I see there: + Use Zotero for the actual bibliographic work as it seems to be the most advanced tool and already has some LO integration. + Tweak Writer to map Zotero fields to other bibliographic tools fields (mostly EndNote as it seems to be widely used) + Tweak Writer to roundtrip unknown bibliographic fields (already contributed last week). + Remove that old Bibliographic stuff that nobody uses. IMHO there could be small wins here that would help a lot of people to join us (or at least use LibreOffice when they weren't using OOo). > Things like being able to change the orientation of an OOo page, without > needing to do so many clicks and changing styles and so forth. Sure, We need some nice UI ideas here. The coding shouldn't be too complex as we already have the page styles. > Easily implementing the numbering of pages without also a lot of clicking. Same here. > Image orientation should also be simpler, with a better way to get it the > way the users want to. This one will be much more tricky as we would need to improve the Writer text layout... which could turn to be a nightmare. Think of all those strange layout cases that would bring ;) > So I guess my point is let's improve on the users most used features, and go > from there to build a better experience for the user. All those are needed, but we need some special care for the research world that has been completely left out by OOo these past years.

[tdf-discuss] IZ hack using GreaseMonkey
Hi all, You can now see whether a bug in OpenOffice issuezilla has been fixed in LibreOffice very simply. Just install GreaseMonkey [0] on your beloved Firefox browser and then install the script [1] I cooked. [0] http://www.greasespot.net/ [1] http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/87923 The bugs numbers are extracted from the git commits. Please add a reference to the bug when you fix it. The reference needs to be in the form i#123456 or #i123456#. If you find some bug that isn't marked as fixed by the script and should be, please first check that the bug number can be found in the git log. If the bug reference is present, then poke me! I hope this helps, -- Cédric Bosdonnat LibreOffice hacker http://documentfoundation.org OOo Eclipse Integration developer http://cedric.bosdonnat.free.fr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted.

As Writer developer I would be really interested in improving that... though I have no idea of the requirements behing bibliographic works. Would you be able to get some people helping to describe what needs to be done? If you can find some other developers interested in hacking that part, I'm ready to help them getting started!
