Re: I'd love your opinion on a question of FAQ style
Rob Weir [robw...@apache.org] kirjoitti: This question came up on the other thread. I'd be interested in knowing which style of FAQ you prefer: Example A: "Who is building Apache OpenOffice releases? * In common with other Apache projects, work on Apache OpenOffice is performed by individual volunteers. * Development is done a number of the original developers of OpenOffice.org in addition to community volunteers and developers from other projects derived from the OpenOffice codebase including IBM Symphony." or Example B: "Who is developing Apache OpenOffice? Like any other Apache project, work on Apache OpenOffice is performed by a diverse group of volunteers, from over a dozen countries. We have participants who are brand new to the project as of last week. We also have many old hands, who have been involved with OpenOffice for a decade or more. These volunteers work on coding, testing, documentation, websites, translations, marketing as well as other functions. Some of our volunteers are listed here: http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/people.html.If you are interested in helping develop the next great version of Apache OpenOffice please take a look at our Getting Involved page (http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/get-involved.html)." Another set: Example A: "Where can I get updates to the copy of OpenOffice.org that I am running? * There have been no updates to OpenOffice.org binaries released for users since Oracle stopped development and there will be no patches to those earlier binary programs released. * The project is currently preparing a new version of the code and it will be available through the openoffice.org website. * Once Apache OpenOffice v3.4 is released, the project recommends you replace your OpenOffice.org installation with it. * Again, there are developer versions available for testing purposes." and Example B: "Where can I get updates to the copy of OpenOffice.org that I am running? * The latest release of OpenOffice.org is 3.3. If you have that then you have the latest. If you would like to extend the capabilities of your OpenOffice 3.3 you might take a look at the many compatible extensions (http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/) and templates (http://templates.services.openoffice.org/) that are available. * We are currently preparing a new release, Apache OpenOffice 3.4. When available, you can download it from the http://www.openoffice.org website. If you want to be on a notification list for when Apache OpenOffice 3.4 is available for download, you can send an email to ooo-announce-subscr...@incubator.apache.org." These two approaches, A and B, differ in tone, formality and information level. Which do you think would be most useful to users seeking answers to their questions? -Rob Hello! Personally I don't like long story but bullet list with links if needed. But A ja B are mixed for that. Regards Risto
Re: I had problems with the program openoffice
Hello! I loaded file and see no image. But the data seem to be merely in table form, so why not use Calc? May you can ge more help from forums: http://user.services.openoffice.org/ regards Risto 0@8O K:>20 [bykova.m...@gmail.com] kirjoitti: Good afternoon. I use the software openoffice. I had problems with the program. The matter is that in the text document at me my changes don't remain. I will describe a problem. I keep drawing in an extreme right top corner, I put a binding to page, I keep the document - all remains as me it is necessary. But after I close the document, and I open it again, my picture appears in the middle of page. The matter is that at me many such pages, and on each of them of a picture. And if I need to change something in the document, I should rearrange anew all pictures in the right top corner. As there are blanks in some lines after a picture. In general after I close the document, and I open it again it it is transformed beyond recognition. Very much I hope for your help. In the enclosed file that document which I try to keep. Mary.
Re: [BUILD]: propose next developer snapshot based on revision 1299571
Jürgen Schmidt [jogischm...@googlemail.com] kirjoitti: Hi, I would like to propose that we prepare the next set of dev snapshots based on the revision r1299571 (same as last changed revision). It is not the latest working buildbot revision but I would like to include an increased buildid. It is still no a official RC because of the existing show stopper issues. I hope that we can start a second build later this week if possible. I would like to propose also that we continue to provide normal/complete install sets for all languages. The dev snapshot from last week was proposed to the IPMC with zero response so far. Not really promising and maybe somebody else has an idea what we can do to get some early feedback. The builds will be made available again under https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+3.4+Unofficial+Developer+Snapshots Juergen Hello I can't see any time stamp on the loading page so I can't know if there is new file for testing. Or at least it is hard to see if there is some newer file than that I already has downloaded. Regards Risto

You can read more about becoming a committer here: http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/ppmc-faqs.html#participate A contributor becomes a committer after a period of contributions to the project. So how do you get started with contributions if you cannot check in files? You start by submitting patches. This allows other committers to review your changes and then check them in.

Rebuild localisation (Finnish)
Hello from Finland! I am Risto Jääskeläinen (aka ristoi) and I have translated OpenOfficeorg help contents to Finnish up to version 3.3. Now I am keen to start with Apache OpenOffice. Current it seems that most of the active Finnish localisation team went to LibreOffice. So there is work to do: 1) WWW-page is quite ugly after Apache upgrade (needs a committer?) 2) OpenOffice.org 3.3 translation needs to move to Pootle (I too have all .po-files in my hard disk if that matter) 3) Translation update to 3.4 level 4) Lot of other things I like to start from number 1 but I think I have no committer authority and don't know anybody else with language skils. So I think I need this privilege. I have no hurry but I like to know when it is time to start this second class localisation. Below is clip from post where is some information. Sorry my language.
