Here are some of mine. I am sure others differ.
(1) investigate and fix security holes.
+1
(2) frequent releases.
+-0 or -1
In practice, a time interval of 12-15 months would be sufficient.
More frequent releases are needed for two reasons.
- security fixes
- making sure we have several people who can be release manager.
Feature releases can be on an interval you describe.
Note: the release cycle of LO is much too short, even if this is
always presented as an advantage.
I could write "imho", but the truth is that the one is a tangible
practice problem for professional office users. Because I offer
commercial support for OO and LO, I know what I'm talking about.
(3) near one to one conversion to and from Microsoft Office.
+-0
Do you know the story of the hare and the hedgehog?
http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/grimm187.html
Yes, the users want that, but would not it be right and honest to
tell the users:
'if you want MS Office, then use MS Office and not OO'
Users want to convert to AOO but cannot easily. Users want to share
with friends on MSFT. Having a great divide is not tenable. Perhaps
this is an extension.
(4) deconflicted feature requests.
I do not know what you mean specifically with "deconflicted".
Raphael mentioned that feature requests bite each other. In
prioritizing these we should pick which way.
What do people think?
I think _in the present situation_ it is better to work more and to
discuss less.
Agreed, but I'd still like to know what others think.
I am unfortunately not a programmer of OO, but I support the project
with user support, as a member of the project www.prooo-box.org and as
a moderator in the forum http://openoffice.org.
I have regularly supported the project through translations of the
release notes into the German language.
Thank you.
Regards,
Dave
