Hi :) That is an extremely good question. Even if this thread doesn't result in anything else i hope that more people in the LibreOffice community DO ask the L10n team for their thoughts on issues like either of the 2 main questions Caolan is asking. I think even just that would be a huge step fo

Hi :) Yes that suggestion was put forwards in the previous thread and i still think it is an excellent idea - or at least has a lot of merit. I seem to remember there were excellent reasons why it might be unworkable but i'm not sure if they really are total blockers. Regards from Tom :) On 26 Ja

Hi :) Yeh i think Sophie did such a brilliant job of summarising all the points that no-one had anything to argue against. My main concern was about automating the bits that could be automated in some sensible way - preferably some way that each language could select to opt into or out of. In wik

Hi :) It is a wiki-page. It's actually faster and easier for people to do the edits themselves. If you can post an email then you can edit a wiki-page. Doing the wiki-markup is a little trickier but just editing is like editing text in almost any very simple text-editor. While so many people ar

Hi :) 4.2.3 was far enough along the 4.2.x branch to be called "stable" by most people. Many of us wait until the x.x.4, so in this branch's case it was the 4.2.4. The 4.2.5 is likely to be rock solid. Actually many people even find the very first release in a branch to be plenty stable enough f

Hi :) I am guessing that you have already posted to the devs mailing list or irc channel? Also to the French mailing list? If not then it's worth trying. It seems a bit weird they have gone for a proprietary, undocumented player instead of gnash, swfplayer, totem, Vlc or some other OpenSource al

Hi :) I am fairly sure the Documentation Team is NOT up to doing this but perhaps with a little help they might be? They wont be able to do any of the coding, however easy it is, but the skeleton help-page sounds like something they might be really good at. They recently got into doing the wiki-F
