openoffice.org-presentation (Impress) currently depends on it. Assuming we would be keeping that on the CD it would need to be tested to see if the libraries in the draw package are needed by Impress to function, which I am pretty certain they are needed. In that case we would have to split them ou

I too think that OpenOffice draw is not to be removed. It may be used by a few but considerable number of people, and as previously said, mostly in educational and related works. I also agree to Peteris' view that the Dia interface requires a redesign, to make it more usable to the mainstream users

I would second this. Ubuntu Linux have been penetrating educational market and schools use whole package, including OO.o Draw. Maybe it's not for good looking presentations, but it gives insight about drawing on computer. Dia is really powerful tool and I love it, but I wait for interface redesign

We are a school. We use OpenOffice Draw all the time. I agree that it doesn't seem to have been developed recently - a great pity. But it does work and is very useful. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubunt

This is my first time posting to a mailing list in years, so someone let me know if I messed up. :) I've found Dia to be useful for diagrams. It's a lot like Visio (the flowchart program in MS Office). On Sun, May 16, 2010 at 9:35 AM, Chandru wrote: > Of all the tools available by default it is

Of all the tools available by default it is the best at handling diagramming. Since most of openoffice is included, it shouldn't add much to the space on the CD. Unless an equivalent or better diagramming tool is included it is not a good idea to remove it from the default install. -- Chandra Se

Hey all, I forgot to mention this at the session for default app selection but can we remove Open Office Draw from the default ubuntu install? The reasons are quite obvious it just isnt any good and I dont think any of the regular users actually use it. --fagan -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing
