Hello Dennis
Yes, you are right, and I think, I was too eager – sorry for that. I am
using Lotus Symphony, and Apache OpenOffice at my company, but the development
of the Symphony finished, so for the new documents types and features, I have
to use Apache OpenOffice.
But by using these 2 Office product, I can compare some features, and found
that the tabbing interface in Symphony is very useful and productive while
working with more Documentation. My petition is only to pay attention of this
requirement. Yes, it can be hard to implement it, but possible, and if many
signatures will get, then maybe there will be enough intent from the Developers
to implement it
I know, to get the required signatures is hard, and have to achieve it without
spamming someone else mailbox (as you wrote, and I agree with you), but I am
thinking about the popularization of it as the purpose is – as per my
experiences – is very useful and can help other people work the faster,
easier and comfortable.
I have time, and hope, at least a plugin will be developed.
And I won't be discouraged if my initiative will not initiative the
purpose. Of course, soon, I will use the community sites like Facebook and
Google Plus, but first I tried another was to inform the AOO/LO affected people
– did it in a wrong way.
Many thanks for your mail. Regards,
Arnold Fabian
