As I have suggested many times in the past, there needs to be a *dedicated* place in the support area for this. The simpler the better - I'd prefer just a simple web submission form, but whatever it ends up being, it should be easy for people to 'submit' problem documents and descriptions, without forcing them through a lot of hoops - such as registering for yet another web based user account. These submissions should go into some kind of back-end database 'moderated' by volunteers willing to verify the problem documents, and if confirmed, open a bug report for it. In my opinion, document compatibility issues should be given a higher priority than most. -- Best regards, Charles -- 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 ***
Re: [tdf-discuss] Test documents to compare interoperability [was: Do not support writing to OOXML format]
Hi, Bernhard Dippold wrote It would be good to have some test documents, to convert them from one of the formats to the others and find out the best interoperability solution for the present versions of the different software packages. I have a set of documents covering 36 basic interoperability features. These documents has been used by the Danish government in an earlier test and we are still using them for benchmarking. The documents covers only what we call below the functionality ceiling wich makes the test very very basic. But we might be able to create new document for future more comprehensive tests. I agree that we should have a fixed set of documents so we can compare tests. I will try to find the documents today and give you the coordinates :-) Cheers, Leif Lodahl -- 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 ***

That is, if documents developed under an ODF application can be converted to a higher-quality product, in terms of compatibility of features and formatting, when going to OOXML (even in the Transitional formats) than they can when going to XP. Is that the case? [...] I do not know if writing OOXML has a higher level of compromises than writing in the old MS proprietary formats, because I am not a technical expert and I trust on developers and engineers for these issues. I suppose that there are different compromises. [...] So I'd like to know what that is -- and there still seems to be a possibility that for new documents constructed in LibO, writing the XP formats provides better interoperability than writing the OOXML ones. That's not a FOR or AGAINST issue, it's a matter of product quality. It would be good to have some test documents, to convert them from one of the formats to the others and find out the best interoperability solution for the present versions of the different software packages. This is a task for community members owning the MSO packages as well as LibO. They don't need any programming skills, they don't need to be experts in marketing, QA, UX or any other part of the community, but they will probably support the work of all these groups with the result of their work. So, if anybody wants to provide a substantial contribution as mentioned in the Community Bylaws, this might be a topic to work on. But as this mail is buried under a huge discussion, she/he should start a new thread, ask for co-workers, define the test documents and help us all with the results.

First, this saves resources for both groups, since documents added by one will be available to the other. Second, it helps guarantee interoperability between the two suites.
