Hello,
From: Andre Fischer [mailto:awf....@gmail.com]
Open like OpenOffice. Bar like in Toolbar. And "Open Bar" like "get
everything you want for free". Oh well.
Everything You answer me, that's my suggestion is apparently
uncomfortable.
It isn't. You raised a point that is indeed new. Nobody so far had
thought about the naming issue.
That is not quite true. I asked on this list a couple of months ago
about how to name things. I did not get many replies, so I chose the
names myself an noted them in the glossary of the sidebar
wiki page. I
did not invent any of the names, I just chose from what was already
there (old Impress tool panel, Symphony sidebar).
I personally still prefer the name "sidebar". I believe that
,any users
will have intuitively at least a general understanding when they hear
that name. This is a semi-established name. From [1] :
Sorry, but you do not understand the essential point, of course, as everyone understands 'brown
soda with cola taste', but is a much better word like "Pepsi" or "Coke".
I am quite aware of the difference between a generic name and a
marketable "brand" name. I just don't think that the sidebar deserves
this honor.
At least that's my thought.
I do see the need for good marketing
???
I do not understand this statement.
But lets be objective, it is something that other
applications and even AOO had for a while: look at
wordperfect, kword,
Impress.
Objectively correct, but that is not the way of looking at how marketing works.
To me it is not so important whether one or marketing code (QA, ...) holds for
a little more important, but the point is *also a good product* needs good
marketing.
Or would you do if you you are applying for a job, you actually talk about the
only one developer to how many other developers as well?
I think you would your benefits (your knowledge, your experience) turn out,
even if objectively many others the same as you know and can.
Hm, I think that we should be careful about our claims. The sidebar in
itself is a me-too feature, not the first of its kind. If we want to
market it then we have to find the aspects of the sidebar that are
unique or better than in other applications. If we already have them,
great. If not then we should work for 4.1 to get them. It appears that
the sidebar now gets attention from a lot of people in this community.
It would be great if we could turn this attention into a list of new
ideas for improvements and new features of the sidebar.
