It's not falling behind in development. It's about stability and
this means productivity.It's like placing an always stronger engine in an
F1 car without
considering to get the power on the road. What means the best engine
when the suspension is not strong enough. With other words I feel I
spent a lot of time in this forum which are reducing my productivity
time. I don't mind being in the forum because there are nice people
here and I like to read the various opinions.)I don't know how many devs
are working on new functions and how many
on bug fixes. It would just be good to change for a certain time the
ratio of devs working on bugs.Do we want it or not we are compared against
MSO. But in MSO we
don't know the bugs.... MS neglects them.On 17.10.2012 17:07, Tom Davies

Hi :)Ok, so we should just get rid of or push away any devs
that are interested in adding new functionality.There
are a lot of other projects they could go to for that sort
of excitement.We could build-up a strong core of devs
that focus only on fixing things that already exist.Get
rid of any that have too much imagination.We could watch and wait
while other Office Suites develop
new functionality and then try to catch up and try to
write code to do the same thing but without the code
looking too similar.They would set the format and the
way things should look and we just try to copy exactly
without looking too similar.Let our competitors do the driving
and just gradually fall
further and further back?!!??Alternatively we could try to help
all our devs by test
driving the new branch asap.Seek out 'bugs' or anything
vaguely wonky.Post bug reports.Find work-arounds.Fall back on the
more stable release from the older branch
(we can have 2 versions installed at once right?) for when
we need to meet deadlines.The question is do we want LO to fall
behind and become
increasingly irrelevant or are we ready to help push out
into the world?Do we want LO to keep going in the future
or are we happy to be forced into switching back to MSO
one day?Regards fromTom :)--- OnWed, 17/10/12, Dr. R. O

Anne-Ology!!Exactly that message - only in other words -- I
have repeatedly tried to tell to the LibO-experts
(devs) since January:they must take a brake in developing and
take a
certain version (e.g. 3.4.xx) and make every module of
the suite - Base included - absolutely free of bugs
and inconsistencies both in programming and the
instructions and especially the LibO-Help.Every feature shall
have a clear explanation and
a detailed guiding how-to in the LibO-Help -- easily
understood by any average non-expert user.I cannot agree
more.I started with 3.5.4 a few month ago and saw some
problems disappearing in3.5.5 and 3.5.6. Currently I
am hesitating to upgrade to 3.5.7.I hope the dev-team listens
