Hi,
sorry, for top-posting, but I have a general remark.
From my point of view the discussion on this thread went into the wrong
direction.
I think Jörg just mentioned issue 3959 as an _example_ for feedback from
users regarding feature requests via Bugzilla votes. I also think that
Jörg mentioned Bugzilla votes also only as an _example_ for such kind of
user feedback.
My perspective on Jörg's intention for starting this thread is to
discuss the following questions:
- How should we handle feedback from users regarding feature requests?
- Should we define/establish one or more processes for users to provide
their feedback for feature requests?
- If the users' feedback reflects their demands and if we think we
should take these demands seriously, how can we support/show ways that
these demands are fullfilled?
Thus, in my opinion we should not stress the one or the other issue or
the Bugzilla voting system. We should more discuss the general issue
regarding the users' feedback regarding feature requests to our product
and how we want to react on it.
Best regards, Oliver.

Hello,
By a request in the forum
(http://de.openoffice.info/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=61365), I get the
information, the Issue #3959 was not implemented since 2002, although
he has already received 355 votes.
(Note: the implementation of the issues is not particularly important
to me, I personally have not even voted for it.)
I know it, earlier in OpenOffice, org, not practice was unfortunately
votes cast for issues as direct, binding standard for their
implementation to consider, But how is that today?.
It is clear to me the AOO is created by volunteers who choose their
detailed tasks themselves, but should we not also be a concern comply
with the interests of the users of AOO? That would not only be of
practical benefit to users, but would also enhance the reputation of
AOO, as in the practice oriented project.
Why the latter is important? I think because of the positive
reputation of AOO in public grow the number of our supporters
(sponsors, supporters, developers) will be.
My view: We should not emulate LibreOffice because LibreOffice may be
innovative, but public statements about quality and consistency of
LibreOffice are devastating. For example, the chairman of the FroDeV
spoke (a German association for the promotion of free software) this
publicly recently plain text, see:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.discuss.german/13802
(Sorry only in German)
My questions are:
Are there any agreements which result to have the number of votes for
an issue? Is there some agreement that a high number of votes to be
reason, the implementation of Issues to be considered as a priority?
What is your basic view on this?
Greetings Jörg
