[tdf-discuss] A humble critique about LO: grammar, dictionaries and basic usability

2013-02-12 Thread timofonic timofonic
Hello. I wanted to reply this email, because I was having some minor usability issues about LibreOffice. Nothing too bad, but I wanted to share it with the team. I was helping my gf to do some university work, I installed her LibreOffice because she was used to OpenOffice and no problems to it. B

Hello. I'm an humble and unskilled user, but here's my opinion: - I personally think technologies like ActiveX are a double sword, they help others to get attached to the Microsoft ecosystem. This technology isn't an open standard and has potential security risks. - I see this issue is taken seri

Hello. I'm not sure what one of the two mailing lists suits best, so I reply in both because it may have different topis on each thread. Oracle's OpenOffice (oOO) is going to participate in the Libre Software World Conference (LSWC). LSWC is the spiritual sucessor of the Open Source World Confer

+5 too. What about supporting more languages for extensions instead? Lua seems interesting, there are other languages that couldbe supported too. I think LibO should be completely functional with all the features without the use of heavy dependencies like JVM. Also I think LibO should concentrat

That's interesting to know about OASIS, thanks for the explanation. What about sharing the document file format support between FOSS related programs? It's the other part of the idea that not got answered :) On Tue, Nov 16, 2010 at 5:51 AM, Marc Paré wrote: > Le 2010-11-15 17:

I support (pun not intended) the idea. This list could be useful to users of other software, including classic ones. Imagine someone was a former Wordperfect (or even still being, there are people using it under a DOS emulator like DOSbox) and want to get used to this new software. Or maybe he has

There are end users that care of freedom in a broad sense. I'm one of them, using Linux-based systems since late 90s :) And we aren't so few, because the number is growing and specially in this worldwide economical crisis. You can see by objective stadistics that the adoption of FOSS is bigger in

Hello Allen. I'm just an end user with low money incomes that likes to know about the project but here are my opinions. I see LibreOffice a success, the community surpassed problems and is getting very popular. Why starting to make a project with a very similar codebase at the last time instead j

Anyway, I don´t consider PDF a proper "OPEN" standard, as it´s not designed by a global consortium like OASIS. What about designing a new file format for this purpose and being part of OpenDocument? Some people said DjVu being accurate but lacking some features (vectorial image support?). I'm not

2011-06-26 Thread timofonic timofonic
Hello. I also think all office applications should use a common codebase for reading and writing the files, instead competing on one that supports certain file formats better than the rest. Think of it as something similar to FFMPeg/Libav, that could be used by all FOSS Office or reader applicati
