Hi :) If you are familiar with those tools then i am sure you could find an answer faster.
I am not a dev and am not familiar with those tools. I do trust devs and others that are familiar with those tools to give true and fair information, especially when very different such people give roughly the same information in different lists for different reasons (usually to try to prove me wrong about something). Information that does keep being repeated is that there are well over a hundred devs that have worked on LibreOffice but at most only 3 have touched Base. Apparently a few hundred bugs to fix including regressions that make it impossible to guess which quirks a particular release of Base might suffer from. If someone already has a database that does already work then now is not the time for them to migrate to something that might well have serious problems for them later on. People in here have been great at solving one-off problems but there is no guarantee they would be able to fix all the issues the op requires and there is no commitment from TDF's SC/BoD to supporting Base properly.

I think it would be very helpful, if you will enlighten the situation a bit. There is not only BugZilla, but also full access to the repository (1) where results of developer activities can be seen. Would you please be so kind to write us the details that you will find, when you spend some time on investigating: - what is being done on development wrt base; - fixes, new items, various improvements, .. - what's on with the bugs, e.g. - status (new, duplicate, not a bug, resolved, ...) - regression (from when, where) - area (forms, drivers, ...) - severity (blocker, workaround available, cosmetic, ...) - (Note that you can retrieve the result from your queries as csv, for further analyses if needed.) Please don't hurry, if you need the time to do it good. I'd rather see a clear picture in say three weeks from now, then three not precise and too generic statements per day in your mails.
