Given that the same fatal bug can be found in windows 3.1, as in 
Windows XP SP2, is there any reason to submit a bug report to Microsoft?

There is an issue with either an error in the java script or css call 
that is affecting the selection of the download package.  This may be 
related to the Italian language version or a more general error.


I submitted a bug report to OOo yesterday before I left work.  I didn't 
get the problem in Firefox but I ran the Java console and I received 
three different errors when I selected the mirror site.

[discuss] Interview: Mathias Bauer, Jürgen Schmidt

2006-07-06 Thread Louis Suarez-Potts

All,

This interview may be of interest to you, especially if you are a  
developer or curious about the future of OpenOffice.org's code. It's  
with Mathias Bauer and Jürgen Schmidt, two important leads and  
developers of OpenOffice.org.



Abstract
==
Mathias Bauer and Jürgen Schmidt are two of the key developers taking  
OpenOffice.org to the next stage. Lead of the Application Framework  
(framework) project, and a manager of software engineering at Sun  
Microsystems, Mathias has long assisted in the development of  
numerous facets of OpenOffice.org growth. As lead of the API project,  
and also of Sun, Jürgen coordinates our API policies and development.  
Both projects are crucial to the future of OpenOffice.org's growth  
and direction as a product and open-source project. This interview,  
conducted via email earlier this month, is part of a series seeking  
to chart the shape of things to come for OpenOffice.org.

[discuss] OpenOffice_Dev installations without systemintegration

2006-07-06 Thread Ingrid Halama

Hi,

I would like to suggest to skip the systemintegration and the whole 
installation process for the developer snapshot builds and instead 
create a file archive (zip,gz) which simply extracts to a ready to use 
OpenOffice.


For the following reasons:

1) Installing a developersnapshot with systemintegration does rule out 
your regular working version of OpenOffice on your computer. You 
automatically get the snapshot when doubleclicking files on windows for 
example. Thus you easily can use the snapshot by accident for important 
work, which may cause great trouble to you as a snapshot could be very 
unstable.


2) Currently you can not install two different snapshots in parallel. 
Thus you are forced to deinstall a newer snapshot (173 from the master 
trunk) for example if you want to check a snapshot from any CWS which is 
still on 172. So one disadvantage is the extra work here (waiting for 
the slow deinstallation) and the other disadvantage is, that you will 
not be able to compare the behaviour of two different snapshots easily.


3) Currently you need administrator rights on your machine if you want 
to install a developer snapshots.


4) Just extracting a ready to use snapshot would be faster then the 
installation process which again lowers the hurdle to fetch and check a 
snapshot. Also the time for deinstallation is shorter as you only will 
need to delete the directory.


5) On unix you will not need any extra scripts or further expert 
knowledge to get the snapshot running. Just extract and start the office.


Any concerns?

Thanks,
Ingrid

I very much doubt whether this is being considered. It's considerably
outside the scope of an office productivity suite, which traditionally
consists of a word processor, spreadsheet, database, drawing app. What
you want is a specialist network discovery tool.
