Re: Merge with LibreOffice?

Then there is the usability issue LO have been attempting to copy MS Office and have succeeded to the point that in many ways it is as annoying as MS Office. AOO, on the other hand, have maintained usability features that, in my opinion, simply make it a better user experience. They may have

Hi all, From what I can tell, the 2 groups can (and are?) borrowing from each other. I prefer its free and open concept. However, seeing some other recent emails and some concerns of my own, I think we can make it easier for new developers by doing the following: 1.. Copying all source cod

[Discuss] New template on cwiki for Release Notes

Using the template facilities of the cwiki I have created a template for creating Release Notes for AOO. It utilizes variables to fill in repetitive entries, and instructive text to aid in writing. This is my first attempt at creating a confluence template and would like some feedback on it. Test

Re: Merge with LibreOffice?

I think your question is valid. The situation of Free Officesuites is worrying; not only for Apache OpenOffice, but also for LibreOffice. Apache OpenOffice has crossed a deep valley, but it goes slowly upwards now from a very low level. I don't want to talk about the situation at LO, but my impr

Re: Merge with LibreOffice?

This isn't a competition to be "won" or "lost". AOO and LO aren't really competing. AOO is for people who want an awesome office suite that's licensed under a permissive license. LO is for people who want the same under a copyleft license. Two different audiences, two different projects. Perso

Re: Merge with LibreOffice?

I think OpenOffice has the larger install base even if LO has much of the Linux desktop distro installs. AOO is still attracting developers and other project members. There may be a finite audience for office suites, but it is a very large audience. Wolf Halton Mobile/Text 678-687-6104 -- Se

RE: [TESTING] Applying openoffice-4.1.2-patch1 for Windows

Thank you, Pedro. Thanks for the spell-checking too! Yes, the comment about quickstarter was misplaced and should go where there is mention of turning it off. I did not notice the date change situation when I applied the procedure. I think the date is preserved in the File Explorer listing.

Merge with LibreOffice?

Greetings, dear AOO community. Please note first that this message is not supposed to be flaimbait or trolling of any kind. I've never been involved in any way with either OO or LO. I'm also not trying to criticize anyone. I'm asking this question out of general curiosity ( and the greater good of

RE: SVN directory structure

Thanks for the suggestion, Javen. I note that the particular wiki pages is described as being accurate through OpenOffice.org 3.3 although there have been a few more-recent edits. The links would still be useful. There is also a plethora of missing links to further details. An interesting opp
