In the past, when confronted with a very similar question, I've heard less then supportive opinions from individuals who say they have interacted on such sites - but I have never actually been pointed to a running site that I could evaluate. Maybe you can do so - is there an example you have found - though it sounds from your email that perhaps not. The state of computer translations is getting better, for sure, but from personal experience it really does depend on the language. Also IMO - if we go ahead an run a single site, all languages in the bin, someone is going to bitch and they are going to bitch loud and long... given the emphasis we as an organization place on native tongues. That is not so much an argument against the idea, rather a statement of opinion on something that IMO we should be prepared for. So - should we or should we not use a single bin for content from all/any languages? I would not, given what I've seen on the current osqa (sorry I know the plan is to use a fork of osqa - may I ask why?] style site. Is there any plan to integrate on-the-fly translation? If so, would that drill down to a single question that had replies in multiple languages? anyway - my thoughts for the moment. Thanks for all the work on the this, //drew [1] http://www.twazzup.com/?q=libreoffice&l=all http://paper.li/LibreOfficeVols/paper -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to projects+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/projects/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

It was quite a few files that I did this with - all the Mozilla stuff for instance (this included changing to html page to match the differing versions) > > Assets in general: > Please remove your english (a.o.) files also from 'addons' (and maybe > elsewhere mixed up with german files) and generate some folders within > 'NA' for your content. /assets/templates on the other hand did have a sub-dir named de and in that case I created 3 sub-dirs (en, es, fr) I moved the en files to /assets/NA/template/en and will for the es and fr files I loaded up, I suppose it makes here for templates /assets/documentation did not exist and I created it then the sub-dir en. Yesterday I moved that to /assets/NA/documentation/en, but that just doesn't seem correct IMO. /assets/artwork was another one, each item in a separate directory and then when I found files already in place I just linked to those. so I would propose that I move the docs back to /assets/documentation/en and leave /assets/artwork alone also? /assets/extras/ I don't know, off to do what I should off and that is actually try the install from the files already there... thanks, //drew -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to projects+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/projects/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

I'm not worried about that now, I think your right that if I use the CMS gui move the files it will autofix that pages - even if not that is a quick trip to an text editor for a one time fix.

Hi, Just checked and see the 3.3.4 and 3.4.2 files under installer/libreoffice/ now - thanks you I think for now, I would just as soon actually see what the ISO create script will produce from the files as is - mostly because I don't want to be a point of failure again so please don't wait on me to do anytnig further. Meanwhile - off to see if a little cut and paste will make our 3.3.3 page morph into 3.3.4 now, this will be a clone of the current page anyway, and I won't publish just yet. When I _really_ get done..maybe I'll beat the build script for the first one..we'll see.

[libreoffice-projects] [LibreOfficeBox] Install files
Hi, On the LibreOfficeBox development server there are currently two different approaches and directory trees for installation files. Currently the NA-DVD uses the 3.3.3 stable release files, in the same form that a user would download them from the website. I was using a working assumption that this stable directory tree would be the one used going forward - but it seems not to be updated with any of the stable latest files, 3.3 or 3.4 releases. There is also a different approach being used by the De box team now, it seems, where they use the individual files and not the single .gz files such as from the download site - I believe this is done so as to enable some different installation paths..cool. So - 1 - would it be possible to get the newer releases under the stable directory tree, in the 'download' style, for now? 2 - is there a decision on what is going to happen going forward?

Ah - well, I should clear up my English. I actually thought that the Br ISO was being hosted on the TDF servers, until recently when I browsed one of mirror sites. Just to be clear, the ability to move your file to the TDF (Shared community resource) is possible and does work as advertised - it simply requires you to use a third party trusted intermediary to do so. Yes, I've used that 'parking lot' approach and I will likely use it again. //drew -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to projects+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/projects/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

[libreoffice-projects] [libobox] Added documentaiton dirctory
Hi, just to let folks now, I added a new directory on the libreofficebox server: /asstes/documentation /asstes/documentation/en en will hold English language user guides, etc , which are included on the NA disc. Figured to follow the same for es and fr as they become available.

Hi, Yes, let's get the LibreOffice Calc guide in place on both servers.

Hi, Just a quick note. Moved, what I think are, the remaining files to 'the parking lot' server and dashed off a note to Erich.

I doubt anyone would mind if you do so - but you should know also that on the CMS server all these versions are also available, from 3.3.1 - 3.4.x, at the moment.

Whether is documentation, wiki pages, extensions, templates or user support. As for using the libo-na.us server for distributing some extensions, maybe - I'm not sure how that would work however and it would need to be talked through. There is a definite problem facing LibreOffice users with regards to what extensions TDF is willing to make available and I would love to host a site that makes those TDF will not host available - HOWEVER - I assume that will need to be unambiguously _not_ directly associated with TDF. The LO-Portal name might work for that, but libreOffice-na.us would likely be a big problem. > > If need be, I would create several extension pages for use on a LO > server.

Hi, I'm forwarding the listed email to the list. Seems to me that there is an opportunity here to get these dictionary files up to the LibO extension site...shall we take it? //drew Forwarded Message From: Tim Lungstrom To: Florian Effenberger Cc: drew , m...@marcpare.com, Tom Davies , carlsym...@gmail.com, italo.vign...@gmail.com Subject: Re: en_US dictionary with April 19 2011 .dic file, plus French updates possible as well Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2011 10:49:34 -0400 On 06/30/2011 06:13 AM, Florian Effenberger wrote: > Hello, > > can someone follow-up on this, or did someone already do?

Three of French dictionaries have not been uploaded, do to it slipping through cracks in my memory after I downloaded the newest ones. I was going to manually update the French ones with the newest .dic word list files, since OpenOffice.org's site was offline more often than running. Then a few weeks later, that site was up enough for me to grab as many of the updated dictionaries as I could. If needed, I can take newer .dic word lists that are available and replace the older ones to try to keep the dictionaries up-to-date. The en_US .dic file was never updated with the newest one[s] that I found, so I created the attached one. The newest en_US .dic file that was on the OOo site was dated 2010-03-15, while the "default" installed one was dated 2007-05-04, as far as I can see. The newest .dic file I found was dated 2011-04-19, so that was as at least one year newer than the newest one on the OOo site and almost four years newer than the "default" installed one [as far as I can tell about the default installed file]. The big thing about word lists .dic files, is the fact that is is just a list of properly spelled words. Many of the words in the file have reference codes that seems to be used to reference spelling definitions, such as suffix replacements. I worked on a dictionary project many years ago and that is the way it seemed to be done, since it takes much file space to do it that way. I had to write a test program for that list and codes, since that was not available to the people working on the list creation. It seemed that the Asian group creating the spell checker for the "electronic" typewriter did not want to share the code for that so that the team I worked with could make sure the work was done correctly. I was the support person for that team at the college where the work was being done. This was when PCs were pre-Windows machines. dictatorship/MS diction/SVM dictionary/MS dictum/M did/4612 didact/MS The April 2011 .dic file has about 51,000 words in it. I have a word list, not in the .dic format, with over 213,000 word in it. That list is missing some words. "dictionary" was not in that 213,000 word list for some reason. --- Also attached to this email are two other new dictionary files that I do not remember seeing in the OOo web site. Brazilian--dictionary-thesaurus--Dicionário de Sinônimos Protuguês Brasil2010-05-28.oxt Scottish Gaelic Dictionary--gd_GB2009-02-10.oxt Both of these have not been added to the site. Here is the list of the Brazilian-Portuguese and Scottish-Gaelic dictionaries on the list. Portuguese (Brazilian) - Vero - Brazilian Portuguese Spellchecking Dictionary & Hyphenator - Brazilian Portuguese grammar checker 3.1.0 2010-11-17 Scots Gaelic Gàidhlig An Dearbhair-litreachaidh Beag - Spelling dictionary for Scottish Gaelic --- It seems that the creators of the .dic files are not often the same people who create the .oxt dictionaries for "us" to use. Many of these same dictionary lists are also used for programs like Thunderbird, but in a different list of other "archived" files besides the .dic files. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to projects+h...@global.libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/projects/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

LOL - well, small problem there - I have 181 files in my latest pull from the server, in May when the last .iso was created, and yesterday I asked to have the files moved from the Libo-na.us server to the TDF cms server - this morning I find 404 files in this dictionary directory. I really thought we agreed on two items: 1 - nothing on the disc that is not referenced from the UI. 2 - no new files would go into the disc directory on server without all of us knowing in advance. [On the second point - I bear some responsibility here - seems I missed an email from you on June 2nd, where you are talking about updating files, so I'll take the hit on that one...] - this is going to make for a long day it seems. Moving forward today - I propose to move the files I have from May to the 'parking lot' on Erich's server (he was nice enough to give me info on that last night - thank you] and have those moved into the CMS system. I'll then delete the new dictionary files and that should put us back to a file load that matching what has been reviewed earlier. Then - we can step back and look at those files on the na.us server and see which ones really are updates. I ran diff on a few of them and found no changes, BTW, beyond the file name - there where a few with changes also, however. Which rather leads into another, related, subject. The new extension/template site - we have, thanks to Tim, a darn near full collection of the dictionaries and templates from the OO.o extension site...what do we do with them?

OK - well for the dictionaries I need this directory: http://libreoffice-na.us/English/add-on-dictionaries-large-list/ I can rename/move the directory later, sure. For the larger individual files they will move into new locations - it won't take me long to give you a to-from mapping - there is IIRC less then 10 of these.

Just to follow up - so far WHEN you used SilverStripe to set some property then all the neat GUI tools work pretty well. @Christian - While I have your attention here.

Yes - sorry - I meant to get to this today, but wandered a little. There was only a few: artwork/clipart/pfeile screenshots/Beispiele screenshots/Vorlagen I think a few others - anyway - as I said, I don't see it as a big problem. Right now I'm more concerned that the different teams just have a good understanding of what structures are in place. Also, as I said - when I could see a pattern (or what I thought was a pattern) I tried to follow it. i.e. artwork/gallery/* [I used the single directory per] extras/misc/* [I used the single directory per] templates/* [there was already a de directory (and separate sub-dir for Beispiele) so I added en, es, fr sub-dirs] templates/en/* [I followed the pattern of single sub-dir for each collection of templates] Otherwise - where I could find a file, used both by the de and na disc then I re-linked the HTML page to point to the file currently oh disc. I also looked at the installer directory and THINK I understand what is being planned there - I should put my thoughts in an email and just make sure that we are all on the same page. (will do that on the projects list later today) Thanks, //drew -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to projects+h...@global.libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/projects/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Now things get a little more interesting. 1) Some of the files are shared between NA-DVD and the DE disc, and they exist therefore in the assets directory on the CMS - problem is they use German names for the sub-directories, and we of course use English. Is there a good way to handle this using SilverStripe so we both get what we want without duplicating files? 2) The openClipArt files.

The alignment issues and what-not with the html files we will work through, but it really is an issue (not huge but is real) in moving the static html pages to the SilverStripe system with has a few quirks, (that isn't a prerogative just a comment) so this off-line isn't quite that simple. If you really want to do off-line work then I'd recommend setting up your own instance of silverstripe, it is (for out of the box set up) a snap. But we can talk about that off-line if you like.

[libreoffice-projects] [NA-DVD] Libo Install binaries
Hi, Ok - another question. Looking at the CMS server and the shared directory structure for installation files there is a bit of a disconect between what is expected by the current DE disc project and the upcoming NA disc project. The current structure has the individual binary files on the disc. Which allows some coolness BTW, as in support for being a debian repository for updates. However, the current NA disc image uses the same compressed files one would download from the main LibO site. So - do we really want to have this double space used up to store? Ideas? //drew -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to projects+h...@global.libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/projects/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

[libreoffice-projects] [NA-DVD] Moveing asset files to the server
Hi, I'll be using the [NA-DVD] tag in emails that deal with setting up the CMS based disc development system for the North-America Community Disc Project. OK - I really need to jump on this starting today in a serious way. First question has to do with assets. There are a number of add-ons (here I mean extensions and dictionaries) included in the NA-DVD project that are currently not stored on the CMS system. Would you that I upload those into the shared assets directory on the server, or keep them in a separate NA directory? I think one question like this per email is good.

This is really acting odd. for instance if you try this URL http://dvd.north-america.libreofficebox.org/info or any URL that points to an actual page on this site it execute the function phpino() - not what anyone wants. but if you send it to a page that actually doesn't exist i.e. http://dvd.north-america.libreofficebox.org/info.jnk it ends up displaying a copy of the info page that was being transfered from the static site... in other words it appears to be fairly well hosed. Alright - thinking I can do two things: 1- I could try deleting _everything_ and start over. But if there is something internal, for example in the database entries used by SS, for this sub-domain, that may do nothing either 2 - have Cloph do the same but at the site admin level So - I'm including the projects list on this email, and CC Flroian and Christian, to ask for help and we will go from there. Of course Christian may want to take time to see if he can unwind this, but I'm just thinking that since there wasn't much there anyway it may in the long run be faster just to 'do-over' from a clean state.

[libreoffice-projects] QA weekend at Linux Hotel
Hi,
Noting that the FrODev.org sponsored LibreOffice QA weekend just wrapped
if there are plans to share with the rest of us what was discussed.
Yes I know it's only Monday, so I didn't expect anything at this point,
but I think it would be a good idea to set such a precedent for regional
gatherings such as this, that they do a quick debrief to the membership
overall.
Thanks and hope you guys had a great time,
Drew Jensen

[libreoffice-projects] [magazine] question about authors
Hi,
I reached out to a professional writer with a strong connection
to FOSS
and OO.o/Libo specifically, asking if he had an recommendations
on
possible writers.
I'm betting you can guess his first question.
To paraphrase - is it 100% or are we willing to compensate for
professional talent?
He also said that he could recommend folks that may do it gratis
but
that would be a much smaller pool of candidates.
So - the question is - what are the thoughts on using some
professional
talent?
Thanks
Drew
ps - I'll hold back on his name on the ML but certainly willing
to pass
it along via PM.

Hi, extensions - templates - extras? Sorry, if this was covered already on a ML, if so I missed it. Then of course I wonder if teams are ok with a common set of directory names - meaning English I guess - or if they will prefer, likely I suppose, for native language specific names. I have no idea if (how, as I would guess it does) SilverStripe would handle this if the requirement is stated as : a common physical directory mapped to different labels for native language. I'm guessing this has been thought about, as I say, just didn't see it mentioned. So - Where is the thoughts on how is this going work?

That is, given the installation having been carried out via a script, in this case the script could then run unopkg and install the oxt payload (templates, gallery graphics, and other types) as a final step. I suppose this means the script contents need to be generated using the selections made by the user in a web interface. If you are talking about doing this from a web server, via the net, shouldn't be a problem. Thinking about doing that from a DVD maybe a bit more to it, but nothing beyond doable. Also, have you looked at the possibility of using more of the resources of the Linux platforms. For instance the LibreOfficeBox de team is integrating the needed files such that the directories present as an RPM (not sure about DEB) repository. Sorry I don't have much detail on this, but if you haven't looked at that it would be another possible way to go, perhaps.

Well, just going on what I'm seeing on the disc, it sure looked like the idea was to put together a disc that covered: de, en, es, fr, it I think that makes sense, if for no other reason then it looks like a reasonable list to do in rather short order.

Hi Tim, Well, I understand your line of thought and it's interesting. In actually I don't see it as a usage pattern that would benefit many people, but it worth talking about for sure. In my opinion, and for the moment at least, it's a bit bothersome to me from this one perspective - there are a few us right now updating and editing files, we are working against this one common set of files. Given our setup right now that is the only way to keep us all in sync - and I am doing daily backups of changed files, so there is at least a poor mans version control system. Right now having a second set of files that are supposedly in sync also just adds to our chances for banging over top of each others work, at least given the active level of change going on. I'm sure you got Jeff's mail from this morning regarding the User Documentation and the updates he will be making today to the files on your server. Beyond that: - all the files on the disc are now referenced from the HtML pages - ALL pages needing translation from German to English are done (Clean first drat at a minimum) and ALL the HTML has been scrubbed free of any googl-ism garbage (I think?) Open items are I think down to - Templates, in the zip files - final vetting. - Finish work to html files for minor layout issues > I am currently uploading all the new files to the online install > folders. Ok - great. So if I could just follow up from my email of this morning. This is a good time to get the folks on the US list to review what we have and give some input/feeback o some of the inclusion questions. I just really think this archive directory idea is making extra work right now and I would rather see us focus on getting what is before us already finished.

[libreoffice-projects] Work on the international 'box'
Hi, It was my understanding (although I can't say how I arrived at it, so possibly just wrong) that the plan was to work on an international disc. I took it to mean, that there would be a single iso image that had multiple language GUI, a common set of extensions, and Language specific templates again. Specifically I'm trying to see how to best leverage the work that the NA DVD team has done, and some additional items perhaps, to help with that. I noted that you called for help with the English translation of the German disc and I take it that was for this international version. After downloading the latest LibreOfficeBox iso, a few days ago, and comparing it in detail with what we have in English already it appears that there is indeed much that can be put forward. What is the best way to help you with this particular project?

For myself, I would really like to see us, the folks that have contributed so far to this NA DVD project, make use of the infrastructure going forward. There are many benefits to doing so, in my opinion. My concern has been with the current state of the assembled files. By which I mean that we have been going over all the files assembled with an eye to licenses and fitness for redistribution. ( Jeff C. has put a lot of effort into this due diligence step) In doing so a number of problem files were flagged and removed. Currently there is a large number of templates that are being reviewed, it's only a matter of days before this is finished. Until that is finished I would not be comfortable pushing these files up to the community server. That is my primary concern, giving any pause, at th moment. At that point I'd like to see us generate an ISO that would be viewed as a beta for the disc image, for people to review. That also would be, in my opinion, a good spot to actually start the work of moving over to the community based server. @Tim, I could not explain the details of the custom build scripts of course, but the general use of a Content Management System (CMS) for building the disc image contents is something I do understand, if your interested I'd be happy to talk to you about that on a phone call. If we could get all of us on the NA team on a call that would be great - perhaps there is some help we could get on that. A good spot to stop for one email I think.
