TJFrazier: fix </source> and copyright

==Check Curly Double Quotes==
===Features===
* The macro checks sequences of double curly quotes. It allows multiple quoted areas per paragraph, and quotations continued in the next paragraph (no close-quote, but the next paragraph must start with an open-quote). Triply nested quotes will flag as errors, but the user can bypass these. (If this is a major nuisance for someone, let me know. Revisions are possible.)
* The macro can stop on any error, with the error character selected, for easy fixing; however, after the fix, the macro must be restarted. Therefore, I strongly recommend that the user should assign a keyboard shortcut, at least temporarily and at first. You may get a lot of errors initially, which means a lot of restarts.

==New accounts==
At least temporarily, new accounts can only be created by sysops. The instructions for sysops are at [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access#Restrict_account_creation MediaWiki].

User instructions are at [[New accounts]].

== Macros for use in Writer ==
=== Basic code for wikification ===
Basic code (now available as an extension) which may be useful for processing MediaWiki Export Filter output can be found on this subpage: [[User:TJFrazier/WikiBasic]]. Please report any problems or suggestions to me, on any of the above lists, or on a Talk page, or [[Special:EmailUser/TJFrazier|directly]].

See also [[User:Nnino|Nino Novak's]] very useful [[User:Nnino/ODT2Wiki|workflow guide]] for putting a manual on the wiki.
=== Reveal Codes ===
Preliminary design specs for an extension to provide this WordPerfect-like feature are on [[User:TJFrazier/Reveal Codes]]. Feedback welcome.
=== Toggle Case between Upper and Lower ===
04:05, 1 January 2012 (UTC) I've long had a macro to do this, but it had a problem when the target character was the first character of a portion (e.g., an ''italicized'' word). Now that I've fixed it, the source is available at [[User:TJFrazier/ToggleCaseUL]]. The particular virtue of this macro is that you don't have to select the character: just click in front of it. This is the raw version, with debugging notes commented out, but left in. It runs.

Notice that the same problem exists in the Writer GUI interface. Try changing the first character(s) of a portion (formatted word, ''e.g.'') by hand, ''without'' losing the formatting. Changing from <tt>Insert</tt> to <tt>Overtype</tt> mode works, but most of the other solutions don't. The way I did it through the API also works with the GUI (inserting the new character as the second character of the portion, then deleting the first character).

===Encryption Changing in 3.4===
22:43, 19 April 2012 (UTC) The code to provide SHA256 / AES encryption was added to OO.o 3.4 Beta without a GUI. As an alternative to changing the <tt>registrymodifications.xcu</tt> file by hand, a Basic macro to toggle these settings is now available at [[User:TJFrazier/Encryption]].
===Checking Curly Quotes===

== '''<tt>Split</tt>''' and '''<tt>Join</tt>''' ==

The <tt>split</tt> and <tt>join</tt> functions are a specialized and convenient way to deal with ''delimited strings'': strings that contain multiple data items, each delimited by a separator character. Common examples are "comma-separated value" (CSV) strings used with spreadsheets, as well as URLs and path-names, which are delimited by slashes. The two functions are complementary: <tt>split</tt> breaks apart a string into an array; <tt>join</tt> builds a string from an array.

===Syntax===

Both <tt>split</tt> and <tt>join</tt> take the same type of operands.

string array = <tt>'''split'''</tt> (delimited string, delimiter character expression, number)
delimited string = <tt>'''join'''</tt> (string array, delimiter character expression)

The string array is usually defined as a <tt>variant</tt> without explicit dimensions (see the example below). <tt>Split</tt> will give the array proper dimensions.

The delimiter character expression is usually one literal character, but may be several characters.

===Example===
<source lang="oobas">
Option Explicit

Sub SplitAndJoin
Dim aAry() as Variant
Dim aFile() as Variant
Dim last as Integer 'last subscript, aAry
dim lf as Integer 'last subscript, aFile
Dim sOut as String
Dim sURL as String

sURL = ThisComponent.URL
Msgbox sURL,,"URL"

aAry() = split(sURL, "/")
REM A lazy way to show string array contents, one line per element.
Msgbox join(aAry(), chr(13)),,"aAry"

REM Change file extension to "zip".
last = Ubound(aAry())
aFile = split(aAry(last), ".")
lf = Ubound(aFile())
aFile(lf) = "zip"
Msgbox join(aFile(), chr(13)),,"aFile"
aAry(last) = join(aFile(), ".")
sOut = join(aAry(), "/") 'rebuild string
Msgbox sOut,,"New URL"

End Sub 'SplitAndJoin

TJFrazier: Bug template

== Continuando con Bugs
=======
Bug 118750 - Pictures imported upside-down =====

Hoy para comenzar me encontre con un correo que me envio un usuario respondiendome sobre el comentario que hace poco había dejado en este bug, como había dicho que no podía ver el error, el usuario esta vez adjunto un archivo con un texto y una imagen, cuando yo abrí el archivo en word la imagen estaba correcta pero al momento de abrirlo con writer la imagen quedaba de cabeza. Comencé a hacer pruebas sobre este bug y coloque más imágenes si eliminar la que el usuario tenía, lo curioso es que cuando lo abría en WORD el archivo esta bien, las imágenes estaban correctas, pero lo curioso es que cuando lo abrí con WRITER las imágenes que había colocado estaban correctas a excepción de la que el usuario tenia, solo esa imagen estaba de cabeza. Le reporté al usuario que el bug solo ocurría con su imagen, intenté adjuntarle el documento que hice con las pruebas pero no se pudo subir debido al tamaño del archivo, así que le aconseje que intentara con diferentes imágenes para ver si le sucedía lo mismo. El bug lo di por confirmado.

== Keyboard shortcuts, special characters ==

Hi TJ, While tripping through the FAQs in search of anyplace I can help, I have found your useful answer (FAQ-Writer-Formatting Text) about how to insert special characters using macros to create keyboard shortcuts. As an alternative, I thought of adding the Windows shortcuts such as I use in Word at work to create a pounds sterling sign (i.e. Alt+0163), but I can't get those combinations to work in Writer. I'm on my laptop at home and am not sure if the Alt-key alternative just does not work in OpenOffice, or if the phenomenon is due to my using a laptop keyboard without the extra number keypad. In the hopes that no question is a dumb question... I ask... do the Alt-key combinations for special characters work in OOo?
:Hi, Lisa, Yes; with my keyboard (with full numeric keypad) they work fine. I use Alt+0151 for em-dash regularly. There may be a num-lock or Fn special key that you need to simulate the numeric keypad; check your laptop's documentation. --[[User:TJFrazier|TJ]] ([[User_talk:TJFrazier|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/TJFrazier|Contribs]]) 16:34, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

== Re: Editing templates ==

Sorry about the inconvenience. I rarely edit templates on Wikis, being mindful that such edits can have far-reaching effects.

Thanks [[User:Adailton|Adailton]] 11:20, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

:Removed most of the pure spam. Remaining candidates are mostly technical, and can be removed more slowly.
:Thanks for the good work. If you are an Apache committer (or at least have an iCLA on file), I will enable you as a sysop ("Administrator group"). That would let you delete directly, and block spammers as well (very carefully!). --[[User:TJFrazier|TJ]] ([[User_talk:TJFrazier|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/TJFrazier|Contribs]]) 14:32, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

==Speedy deletion==
Hi TJ

I made a change in {{tl|delete}} in order to include a justification for the deletion. Please see if it was good.

I saw that there are 11,420 [[Special:UncategorizedFiles|files uncategorized]]. Are there any major [[Special:Categories|category]] for files? I just found [[:Category:Icons]].

Thanks [[User:Adailton|Adailton]] 14:38, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

: '''Delete''': Looks good to me, if it works for you.

: '''File Categories''': AFAIK, the files should be categorized according to the pages that link to them (plus descriptive categories, like "Icon"). This could be a non-trivial task; if a file is linked from pages in different categories, it may be desirable to climb the category tree to find the intersection, and categorize the file there.

:Your help is much appreciated. I know much of templates, but only a little about categories. --[[User:TJFrazier|TJ]] ([[User_talk:TJFrazier|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/TJFrazier|Contribs]]) 15:52, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
::I think the categorization according to the pages that use is practical, but we can also categorize your files by grouping them by theme (icons, applications, screens, menu items, examples, etc.), without excluding one another. There are also PDF documents, which could be a category, but I will not create them if you think it should be done well. [[User:Adailton|Adailton]] 21:07, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

:Hi, Paolo!

:I'm replying here, just to keep the whole conversation in one place. You can put a Watch on my Talk page if you like, or I'll put a note on yours. I see that you have met [[User:Adailton|Adailton]], who is a big help around here, chasing spammers. Whatever help you care to give is very welcome.

::Hi TJ. This place is fine.

:Like most everything at Apache, there is no "official" hierarchy on this wiki. The only sense in which I'm "it" is that I'm doing the work. I do have both sysop and bureaucrat privileges, and I will promote any committer to sysop who asks. My personal expertise runs to "expert user": knowledgeable on wiki markup, templates, ''etc.'' If you have plans to improve the user experience, go for it; I'll be glad to help you do it the easy way, if you like.

:: Ok. I've been working with Mediawiki software intensively for the last 2 years. I've created/developed many of the pages in LibO PT_BR wiki, and I was responsible to develop the document translation workflow to PT-BR. That was a great learning. Now I wish to contribute here. These days, I am running a document management project for the company I work,using Mediawiki software, for for the last year, using its semantic features. And this was a great learning for me too. So, I proposed to use my experience in this area to help building an intelligent ontology that could ease the access tothe information in the wiki. But... In order to do that, it would be necessary to upgrade Mediawiki at least to 1.7.4 (1.9 would be better) and install some semantic extensions (maybe creating some new user's groups, if necessary). Can you help me on that? This should not impact the actual wiki's access/availbility, but can make available features for me to work on some sort of "snapshot". =)

:Which reminds me: are you deliberately using the "preformatted text" option (starting your line with a space character), to create indentation? A colon (:) works better, because it wraps better. Use more colons for more levels of indentation (think, "tabs"). By convention, if you reply here, you would start your lines with two colons, I would reply with three, ...

:: Yes. I'm using that. It's a matter of preferences. For me it looks better, but I have no objections in using identation =)

:: I've created a category PT-BR for brazilian community begin to work. It was necessary, but, as Adailton pointed, maybe we could join PT-BR and PT sections, if it works better. I'm helping Kevin on UX team and looking for pages that must be updated/deleted. There are many outdated information here and it's necessary to classify them (that's why I've created a [[:Category:Outdated]]). In the next days I will navigate through the wiki to find and categorize those pages. After that, we will have a picture of what/where/who/when we need to do. If you and Adailton agree with that, of course. What do you think?

Preformatted text looks great — ''if'' you pre-format it!

:::Otherwise, it has a nasty tendency to run right over the right-hand border, and just keep going. I find that both ugly and a nuisance, having to adjust the horizontal slider, and I had to do that a lot on your talk page. This may be browser- and skin-dependent. But, to more important matters.

:::: Well, I have placed line breakers <nowiki>"<br />"</nowiki> in my replies, because I am aware of this issue. I don't know why you had this problem in you browser, maybe your screen resolution is too low. For me, my replies are been displayed with short lines and no horizontal slider both in Internet Explorer (Windows 98 in a virtual machine), Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox (Ubuntu 11.10). But it doesn't matter, I can use identation. No problem.

:::For upgrading MW and installing new extensions, you need a site-maintenance person, and that's not me. The only one I know of with the project is Raphael Bircher; otherwise, we depend on Infra. The problem is that none of those folks have any real expertise with MW or php, and neither do I. If you have command-line expertise, by all means volunteer on the Infra ML, and ask for access. Otherwise, I suppose we can try writing JIRA tickets. I am certainly in favor of an upgrade; there are problems with the <nowiki><math></nowiki> syntax that probably can only be fixed that way, and some other adjustments that should be made.

:::: Yes, I know how to upgrade and install extensions to Mediawiki. But, I would had to get ssh access to the server and RWX rights to Mediawiki directory. A database backup would be necessary (and I should have access to it in this case, also). If you have admin rights to the wiki, so you can perform admin tasks for me, when it's necessary.
:::::Yes, you know what you need, and you can get the access by asking on the Infra ML (infrastructure@apache.org). Send from your Apache address, with a subject like, "Request root access to ooo-Mwiki VM". I think they will be glad to hear from you, when you spell out your expertise as you have done here. I haven't asked for such access, because I don't have (yet) the knowledge to use it. I will add a new section on this page for a data dump of what I've learned about the physical setup.

==The Physical Wiki==
This wiki is housed on a VM, running a LAMP stack. "L" = some version of Ubuntu. In addition to the MW software, we run the Apache Traffic Server (ATS) as a front end. (Some adjustment is needed here: as of this writing, ATS sometimes serves up stale pages.)

Exact information on extensions and versions should be available on the [[Special:Version|Version]] page. Known problems include:
* The locally written IDL extension is not the latest version; this was an error during the move to Apache. The latest version needs to be found and installed, so that the <nowiki><idlml></nowiki> tags work.
* MW was undergoing a change to the Math support, during MW v17. Math is showing errors on our installation (see example on [[User:TJFrazier|my user page]]), which have probably been fixed in a later MW release.
:*Many thanks to Imacat, who installed the Textvc code, and fixed the math problem. --[[User:TJFrazier|TJ]] ([[User_talk:TJFrazier|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/TJFrazier|Contribs]]) 19:47, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

== Request for advice from mWiki guru ==

After a closer look at all the materials involved with consolidating the FAQ's from the web site into the Wiki it appears the most effiecient way todo it would be to create some new Documentation\FAQ catagories and restructure the toc to add them. Given what is currently going on would it be best to just fit them in to the current structure and wait until the update is completed and then make the changes and reassign the new FAQ's to them? The alternative would be to do it know and I would need a crash course (mostly on reading the help files) on the intricacies of doing it.

Sorry to be a pain with questions, but the engineer in me says ask the questions first before you really muck something up!

Regards
[[User:KNMcKenna|Keith]] 20:53, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

:Keith, your cautious approach is much appreciated.

:First, go right ahead now. This work should not be affected by the upgrades and such.

:Second, IIRC, the lowest-level listing is all done with DPL and categories. The relevant help files for the DPL extensions (we're using the older one) are on [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki], which can (surprisingly) be a little hard to reach from Wp. You can probably do just what I'd do: copy an existing page, changing only the particular data (category name). Then put the appropriate new category on each new page: <nowiki>[[Category:whatever]]</nowiki>.

:The higher-level toc (purple box) is built by one template calling another. The Master TOC template positions and paints the box; the FAQTOC template supplies the data, so this is what you need to edit. Wp has scads of help on templates; it is a much more powerful feature than any reasonable person would ever need. Fortunately, again all you probably need to do is copy and adjust existing entries to show the new stuff. The Preview button is your friend. Please try to minimize the number of edits to templates: an edit change kicks off a chain of replacements for every calling page, which can bog down the wiki for minutes. Note that you can call templates from your own space. That makes experimenting cheap. <nowiki>{{User:KNetc/test}}</nowiki> or something similar should suffice, where page "test" is a copy of the real template.

:I'm fairly ignorant about DPL, but I'm useful on templates. Ask if you have problems. --[[User:TJFrazier|TJ]] ([[User_talk:TJFrazier|Talk]]) 01:55, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

::TJ I spent the better part of 20 years in Manufacturing Engineering first as a tech and then as an engineer. Have seen to many screw-ups that could have been prevented by asking "stupid questions" first. Not fun having to explain to ops managers why they lost x number of man hours / days.

::First, since there should be no conflicts with the upgrades et al, I will venture down the path of creating new catagories and updating the toc.

::Second, I will spend a few days this weekend looking over the help sections that you point to and try some experimenting in my "sandbox". Is there a time frame that would be best to go "live" with the changes to the FAQtoc to have the least disruption to the rest of the community on the Wiki?

::Believe me if I have questions believe me I will ask. Thank you for all the info and your willingness to help.

::Regards [[User:KNMcKenna|Keith]] 22:11, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

I suggest that you make a copy[1] of faqtoc, maybe "factoc2", in template space. Just click on a link like this one: [[Template:factoc2]]. You can edit that one all you want, because only the few pages you build will be affected. At the very end, copy it back — only one edit to the live template, so you needn't worry about the timing. Then change the links (the special page, "What links here" is your friend) and delete the copy.

Feel free to put the links to the new subdivisions[2] where they belong, on the Documentation or Doc/FAQ pages, but please hang the "Under Construction" sign on anything incomplete, in case users blunder into it.

Thank you very much for undertaking this task.

Notes:<br />
[1] "copy" means Edit | Select all | Copy | Cancel edit on the source page, then Edit | Paste on the new page.<br />
[2] I used a different term, because you will be creating some wiki Category pages, too. Using the redlink method, just reference the new category as usual, at the bottom of the new faq page. That will show as a redlink; click on it, add a one-line description, and save the page. Nothing to it! --[[User:TJFrazier|TJ]] ([[User_talk:TJFrazier|Talk]]) 03:32, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

==Speedy Delete==
Hi TJ

I wish you a Merry Christmas :)

I have been absent due to commitments, but I must return to work soon

[[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion]] is ''Outdated, not valid''? There is another to replace it?

Even if only administrators are active, I think at times be necessary ''ask'' the opinion of others about certain deletions to prevent undue eliminations. In wikipedia the ''normal'' is always an editor (even an administrator) mark and an administrator check and then eliminate.

There needs to alter {{tl|delete}}?

==Category Names Problem==
Hi TJ

In [[Special:WantedCategories]] there in many categories, but all with ''problems'' in the title, probably due to a misconfiguration in for special characters needed for languages like Polish, Portuguese, French, Russian, etc. But I do not know exactly how to fix it.

For exemples: [[:Category:WdroÅ¼enia]] would be [[:Category:Wdrożenia]] ('''ż''')

This may have occurred before December 25, the date of deletion. Possibly the time of spam attack, in november.

I'll create the correct categories, with the hope that it would remove the entries in special page.

Regards [[User:Adailton|Adailton]] ([[User talk:Adailton|talk]]) 13:57, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

In the text you say that the parameter for opening a document in a new frame is "_blank", but the example gives " blank". The API documentation agrees with the former, but I've found by experiment that both work OK (documentation bug??); "blank" works as well! Should the code be changed to match the description, or was it put in to highlight the discrepancy? In the latter case I'd suggest a note pointing this out.[[User:Ptoye|Ptoye]] ([[User talk:Ptoye|talk]]) 15:57, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

:If you can find such an instance, of " blank" (I can't), by all means please fix it. Generally speaking, the information here, in the Basic Guide, is subordinate to the API and DevGuide documentation. The leading underscore is a common way of marking reserved words, which the user should not define, but should use exactly as given. If the code permissively allows "blank" and " blank" as well, these are implementation details. We don't document those, because someone might come along and change to a more rigorous requirement.

__NOTOC__
== Working with Sets of Characters ==

When administering strings, {{OOo}} Basic uses the set of Unicode characters. The <tt>Asc</tt> and <tt>Chr</tt> functions allow the Unicode value belonging to a character to be established and/or the corresponding character to be found for a Unicode value. The following expressions assign the various Unicode values to the code variable:

<source lang="oobas">
Code = Asc("A") ' Latin letter A (Unicode-value 65)
Code = Asc("€") ' Euro character (Unicode-value 8364)
Code = Asc("Л") ' Cyrillic letter Л (Unicode-value 1083)
</source>

Conversely, the expression

<source lang="oobas">
MyString = Chr(13)
</source>

ensures that the <tt>MyString</tt> string is initialized with the value of the number <tt>13</tt>, which stands for a hard line break.

The <tt>Chr</tt> command is often used in Basic languages to insert control characters in a string. The assignment

<source lang="oobas">
MyString = Chr(9) + "This is a test" + Chr(13)
</source>

therefore ensures that the text is preceded by a tab character (Unicode-value 9) and that a hard line break (Unicode-value 13) is added after the text.

== Accessing Parts of a String ==

{{OOo}} Basic provides three functions that return partial strings, plus a length function:

;<tt>Left(MyString, Length)</tt>:returns the first <tt>Length</tt> characters of <tt>MyString</tt>.
;<tt>Right(MyString, Length)</tt>:returns the last <tt>Length</tt> characters of <tt>MyString</tt>.
;<tt>Mid(MyString, Start, Length)</tt>:returns first <tt>Length</tt> characters of <tt>MyString</tt> as of the <tt>Start</tt> position.
;<tt>Len(MyString)</tt>:returns the number of characters in <tt>MyString</tt>.

Unlike array subscripts, character positions in a string start with <tt>1</tt>. Here are a few example calls for the named functions:

<source lang="oobas">
Dim MyString As String
Dim MyResult As String
Dim MyLen As Integer

MyString = "This is a small test"
MyResult = Left(MyString,5) ' Provides the string "This "
MyResult = Right(MyString, 5) ' Provides the string " test"
MyResult = Mid(MyString, 8, 5) ' Provides the string " a sm"
MyLen = Len(MyString) ' Provides the value 20
</source>

== Search and Replace ==

{{OOo}} Basic provides the <tt>InStr</tt> function for searching for a partial string within another string:

<source lang="oobas">
ResultString = InStr (MyString, SearchString)
</source>

The <tt>SearchString</tt> parameter specifies the string to be searched for within <tt>MyString</tt>. The function returns a number that contains the position at which the <tt>SearchString</tt> first appears within <tt>MyString</tt>; a return value of zero indicates no match. If you want to find other matches for the string, the function also provides the opportunity to specify an optional start position from which {{OOo}} Basic begins the search. In this case, the syntax of the function is:

<source lang="oobas">
ResultString = InStr(StartPosition, MyString, SearchString)
</source>

In the previous examples, <tt>InStr</tt> ignores uppercase and lowercase characters. To change the search so that <tt>InStr</tt> is case sensitive, add the parameter <tt>0</tt>, as shown in the following example:

<source lang="oobas">
ResultString = InStr(MyString, SearchString, 0)
</source>

Using the previous functions for editing strings, programmers can search for and replace one string in another string:

<source lang="oobas">
Function Replace(Source As String, Search As String, NewPart As String)
Dim Result As String
Dim StartPos As Long
Dim CurrentPos As Long

Result = ""
StartPos = 1
CurrentPos = 1

If Search = "" Then
Result = Source
Else
Do While CurrentPos <> 0
CurrentPos = InStr(StartPos, Source, Search)
If CurrentPos <> 0 Then
Result = Result + Mid(Source, StartPos, _
CurrentPos - StartPos)
Result = Result + NewPart
StartPos = CurrentPos + Len(Search)
Else
Result = Result + Mid(Source, StartPos, Len(Source))
End If ' Position <> 0
Loop
End If

Replace = Result
End Function
</source>

The function searches through the transferred <tt>Search</tt> string in a loop by means of <tt>InStr</tt> in the original term <tt>Source</tt>. If it finds the search term, it takes the part before the expression and writes it to the <tt>Result</tt> return buffer. It adds the <tt>NewPart</tt> section at the point of the search term <tt>Search</tt>. If no more matches are found for the search term, the function establishes the part of the string still remaining and adds this to the return buffer. It returns the string produced in this way as the result of the replacement process.

Since replacing parts of character sequences is one of the most frequently used functions, the <tt>Mid</tt> function in {{OOo}} Basic has been extended so that this task is performed automatically. The following example replaces three characters with the string <tt>is</tt> from the sixth position of the <tt>MyString</tt> string.

<source lang="oobas">
Dim MyString As String

MyString = "This was my text"
Mid(MyString, 6, 3, "is")
</source>

Or this much simpler function can be used. First it splits "Source" dividing it at all "Search", and joins the parts back with "NewPart". So Replace("This is a test", " ", "_") yields "This_is_a_test" :D

<source lang="oobas">
Function Replace(Source As String, Search As String, NewPart As String)
Dim Result As String
Result = join(split(Source, Search), NewPart)
Replace = Result
End Function
</source>

{{Documentation/Caution|When it is used with 4 arguments, to replace a sub-string in a string, <tt>Mid</tt> is an '''instruction''', not a function : it does not return any value !}}

== Formatting Strings ==

The <tt>Format</tt> function formats numbers as a string. To do this, the function expects a <tt>Format</tt> expression to be specified, which is then used as the template for formatting the numbers. Each place holder within the template ensures that this item is formatted correspondingly in the output value. The five most important place holders within a template are the zero (<tt>0</tt>), pound sign (<tt>#</tt>), period (<tt>.</tt>), comma (<tt>,</tt>) and dollar sign (<tt>$</tt>) characters.

The <tt>0</tt> character within the template ensures that a number is always placed at the corresponding point. If a number is not provided, 0 is displayed in its place.

A <tt>.</tt> stands for the decimal point symbol defined by the operating system in the country-specific settings.

The example below shows how the <tt>0</tt> and <tt>.</tt> characters can define the digits after the decimal point in an expression:

<source lang="oobas">
MyFormat = "0.00"
MyString = Format(-1579.8, MyFormat) ' Provides "-1579,80"
MyString = Format(1579.8, MyFormat) ' Provides "1579,80"
MyString = Format(0.4, MyFormat) ' Provides "0,40"
MyString = Format(0.434, MyFormat) ' Provides "0,43"
</source>

In the same way, zeros can be added in front of a number to achieve the desired length:

<source lang="oobas">
MyFormat = "0000.00"
MyString = Format(-1579.8, MyFormat) ' Provides "-1579,80"
MyString = Format(1579.8, MyFormat) ' Provides "1579,80"
MyString = Format(0.4, MyFormat) ' Provides "0000,40"
MyString = Format(0.434, MyFormat) ' Provides "0000,43"
</source>

A <tt>,</tt> represents the character that the operating system uses for a thousands separator, and the <tt>#</tt> stands for a digit or place that is only displayed if it is required by the input string.

<source lang="oobas">
MyFormat = "#,##0.00"
MyString = Format(-1579.8, MyFormat) ' Provides "-1.579,80"
MyString = Format(1579.8, MyFormat) ' Provides "1.579,80"
MyString = Format(0.4, MyFormat) ' Provides "0,40"
MyString = Format(0.434, MyFormat) ' Provides "0,43"
</source>

In place of the <tt>$</tt> place holder, the <tt>Format</tt> function displays the relevant currency symbol defined by the system (this example assumes a European locale has been defined):

<source lang="oobas">
MyFormat = "#,##0.00 $"
MyString = Format(-1579.8, MyFormat) ' Provides "-1.579,80 €"
MyString = Format(1579.8, MyFormat) ' Provides "1.579,80 €"
MyString = Format(0.4, MyFormat) ' Provides "0,40 €"
MyString = Format(0.434, MyFormat) ' Provides "0,43 €"
</source>

The format instructions used in VBA for formatting date and time details can also be used:

<source lang="oobas">
sub main
dim myDate as date
myDate = "01/06/98"
TestStr = Format(myDate, "mm-dd-yyyy") ' 01-06-1998
MsgBox TestStr
end sub
</source>

Object Inspector

2013-01-13T00:52:34Z

TJFrazier: l.c.e.

The Object Inspector is an OpenOffice.org extension created to help the developer to inspect arbitrary UNO-Objects.
UNO provides a service-oriented API with abstract service descriptions exporting defined interfaces. The capabilities of a UNO Object do not open up to the developer at design time, mainly due to several "deficiencies".
Please note that the Object Inspector is still under development.

== The Problem ==

Generic interfaces like [http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/beans/XPropertySet.html XPropertySet] or [http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/container/XIndexAccess.html XIndexAccess] do not define their exact return value. Service descriptions that export these interfaces mostly do not contain such information either.

It is not always clear at design time which services a UNO object actually supports.

Documentation bugs: as service descriptions do not always show up all actually exported interfaces or properties, there may be a certain difference between the theoretical and the practical capabilities of a UNO object.

== The Solution ==

The conclusion is that a runtime inspection is necessary to determine what respective capabilities a UNO object actually has.
The Object Inspector is an OpenOffice.org extension that has been evolved from the ancient instance inspector that is part of the OpenOffice.org SDK. It displays the total capabilities of a "living UNO-object" such as all supported services, exported interfaces, and their respective methods and properties in a TreeView window.

== Usage ==
The Object Inspector may be installed using the package manager (menu "Tools/Options") by adding the package from [http://api.openoffice.org/Projects/ObjectInspector/Inspector.oxt Inspector.oxt] .

Together with the new package a new toolbar is added from which the object inspector may be started.
The initial UNO object is the document of the active frame. The UNO object of this document is represented by the root node of the treelist control. Expanding this node will create subnodes referencing all subordinate objects, properties, methods and other values of the root object. All this information is presented in various facets:

Methods of UNO objects are presented as subnodes below a "Method" node. All methods are listed below this node, no matter what their parental interfaces are.

Properties of UNO objects are presented as subnodes below a "Properties" node.

"Interface" nodes offer a view to all methods by arranging them under their respective interface.

"Service" nodes offer a view to all supported services of a UNO object and their respectively exported interfaces and properties.

Expanding any arbitrary subnode will inspect the UNO object that is represented by the node in the same way as described above.

=== Screenshots ===

[[Image:ObjectInspector.png|600px]]

=== Calling from a Basic Macro ===

The Object Inspector may be instantiated within a Basic script as can be seen in the following examplary script, where the current document is inspected:

<source lang="oobas">
Sub Main
oInspector = createUnoService("org.openoffice.InstanceInspector")
oInspector.inspect(ThisComponent, "My Document")
End Sub
</source>

=== Sourcecode generation ===

The Object Inspector is also able to generate Sourcecode snippets that show how to:

* query an interface (if necessary in the selected language)
* invoke a method
* retrieve a property value

Currently there are code generators for Java, C++, Python and Basic. The resulting code is not perfect, but ''should'' compile well. See [[ObjectInspectorComparison|Object Inspector Comparison]].

=== IDL help ===
<font color="red">Currently broken</font>

The user may retrieve help about selected nodes from the IDL files of the respective interface and service descriptions.

== Development ==

=== Source code ===

You will find the Object Inspector source code within the OpenOffice.org Subversion Repository:

svn co svn://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/trunk/main/odk/examples/java/Inspector/

The checked in source contains a complete NetBeans project, so that one can immediately start hacking around. Feel free to commit bugfixes and changes or contact cli(at)openoffice.org if you like to take over the project.

=== Known issues ===

The Object inspector is still under development and the following list points to some known unresolved defects.

* Filtering is slow and uncomfortable as nodes are collapsing and need to be expanded manually
* IDL help is not working (including context sensitive help)
* C++ code not properly generated (it was better with previous version). [[Programming_OOoWriter#Going_further_with_Inspector|Read more here]] particularly [[Programming_OOoWriter#Java_Inspector_2| Java Inspector 2]] section.

=== Future Enhancements ===

* Invocation of methods with complex parameters should be implemented. It should be implemented in several steps
** Implementation of Array parameters with primitive elements.
** Implementation of structs.
** Implementation of an input mask to refer to UNO-Objects as method parameters.
**Consider multidimensional arrays as method parameters and for return values.

* An additional UNO GUI should be created, so that the extension integrates well in OOo and NetBeans. The existing model can be easily adapted to another GUI, hopefully.

* Interfaces that are exported by an UNO object although not being exported by any of the supported services should be distinguished from the other interfaces. There should be displayed some kind of alert as their usage is potentially hazardous, because it is merely based on an implementation detail.

* Add a "Container" meta node that can be expanded to retrieve information about Elements. This node is only applicable when the UNO object also depicts a container that exports interfaces like XIndexAccess.

[[ru:RU/wiki_editing_policy|Политика Wiki-редактирования]]
{{Documentation/Banner}}
{{Documentation/DraftPage}}
{{DISPLAYTITLE:Wiki Editing Policy}}
[[fr:FR/Documentation/Dashboard/Wiki_Editing_Policy]]

This article helps you to contribute effectively to the Documentation part of the wiki. We strongly encourage you to announce new pages or major changes to the mailing list [mailto:dev@documentation.openoffice.org dev@documentation.openoffice.org].

= Project-independent ruleset =
{{Documentation/Note|See the general project-independent rules at [[OOo_Wiki_Contribution_Rules]] first!}}

= Prerequisites for Editing =
You must be registered and logged in before you can edit the Wiki. Registration is easily done.
# Click on '''Log in / create account''' in the upper right corner of the screen and enter the required bits. <br> We recommend using the same username as on the OpenOffice.org website.
# Subsequently you have to validate your email address.

For further logins you use the same entry point, enter Username and Password, and click the '''Log in''' button.

{{Documentation/Caution | To combat vandalism, newly registered users cannot edit any page or create a new page until a '''four (4) day "cooling off period"''' has elapsed.}}
The next step could be to tell the Community about yourself. There is definitely no harm and it is a good way of getting comfortable with the Wiki.
#When you are logged in, your username shows at the top of the page, <span style="color:#9F0000"> in red,</span> until you create your user page. Click on your username to do that.
#On your page, add some sections as given below, as it is your profile on the OpenOffice Wiki;
#* About yourself
#* OpenOffice and you
#* Your contributions
#* Work in progress
#* Any future plans?
#* Reference (optional)
#* Contact

So, this is somewhat a template, for creating a profile.
You may or may not need to follow this template, you may have sections of your choice. This is done to make a profile in a uniform way for all the new users.

=Adding Comments=

Important comments should be announced on the mailing list [mailto:dev@documentation.openoffice.org dev@documentation.openoffice.org] to be sure that they get noticed.

To add a comment to a page
# Click the '''Discussion''' tab on the top of the page.
#* If you are starting a new topic click on the '''+''' sign to the right of the '''edit''' tab at the top, fill in the subject line and write your comment in the main text box.
#* If you want to add a comment to an existing discussion leave it after the existing comments and indent it by putting one or more colons (<code>:</code>) at the beginning of each paragraph.
# Sign your username with four tildes (<code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>). You can do this automatically with the '''signature with timestamp''' button ( http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/w/skins/common/images/button_sig.png ) on the toolbar.
# Click '''Save Page'''.

To learn more about comments see the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Talk_pages Mediawiki help about talk pages]

=Structure of the [[Documentation]] Section of the Wiki=

The Documentation section is only part of the large OpenOffice.org Wiki. The doc.oo.o project
tries to present the information in this section in a way that it is easily accessible and
has a structure that allows straightforward navigation for both users and contributors.

All documentation pages are subpages of the main Documentation page. A further substructure
presents sections as subpages containing further subpages. Think of it as a hierarchical
representation, just like a file system. Every subpage is automatically linked back to the main page.

The current wiki page tree looks like this:

=Creating new Pages=

{{Documentation/Caution | Before creating a page make sure that there is not already an existing page with a similar topic.}}

* If the new page can be a subpage of an existing page simply go to the existing page and create a link to the new page. After saving the page with the link you can click the link and start writing on your new page.

* If you want to create a really new page for the Documentation project, you can use the wiki's URL for creating a new page. You should observe the wiki page tree when you create a new page in this way. The URL to a wiki page is then something like this: <br> <tt><nowiki> http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/documentation/</nowiki>''Page Name''</tt>
* However, the recommended method is to search for the desired page name (in the Search field above left), and when the page does not exist, you will be offered to "create this page" by clicking on a link on the Search Results Page.

{{Documentation/Note | The URL approach is only useful if you link the page later to other pages. Otherwise it will be hidden in the wiki.}}

For more information about new pages see the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Starting_a_new_page Mediawiki help about new pages]

=Using Categories=

The Categories that are assigned to a page are usually listed at the bottom of the page. Click on a Category, and you will view a topic page with all the pages that have been classified in that Category. This way, a Category tag in a page gives you the opportunity to look up related contents. The bigger the page the more Category tags might be inserted

To add a Category tag to a page
# Click '''Special pages''' in the toolbox on the left side.
# Click '''Categories''' in the Special pages link list.
# Choose a Category name that makes sense, and apply it by adding <tt><nowiki>[[Category:''Category Name'']]</nowiki></tt> at the end of the page.

{{Documentation/Caution | Do not create duplicate Categories for the same topic. Each Category must be unique. Otherwise it will be difficult to use the Categories for searching the wiki.}}

Look at [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Categories MediaWiki Help:Categories] if you want to know more about Wiki Categories.

A simple example of how to use Categories in Wiki books:
# Create a Category named after the current chapter.
# Add the new Category tag to all pages of that chapter
# Add the Category tag for the book to the newly created Category page.

The reader can then view the book Category. The book Category shows all the chapters in the book. If the reader clicks on a chapter Category, they can see all of the pages in that chapter (in alphabetical order).

Do not add a category and its subcategory to the same wiki page. For more information see the MediaWiki Help:Category section on [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Category#Category_considerations Category considerations].

You can use Templates to add a common category to a large group of pages, but it is not recommended. It may appear to save time, but "adding or deleting a category tag in the template does not add or delete the listings on the category page of pages that use the template, until some edit is made in the page that uses the template." For more information, see the MediaWiki Help:Category section on [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Category#Using_templates_to_populate_categories Using templates to populate categories].

=Templates=

Look at the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates Templates help] if you are unfamiliar with mediawiki templates.

==Adding a new Documentation Template==
<section begin=addingtemplate />
* If you create a new template to be used in the wiki documentation, name it as a subpage of '''Documentation'''.
** wrong: <tt>mytemplate</tt>
** right: <tt>Documentation/mytemplate</tt>

* Add a description of the template purpose and usage to the template itself using the <code><noinclude></code> element as described in [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Template#Noinclude.2C_includeonly.2C_and_onlyinclude MediaWiki help: Template].

* Add the template to the list of templates below.

=Graphical Content=

General guidelines for images are:
* Use a descriptive and unique title. The filename should be constructed in a way so it shows the usage, e.g. Doc_mig_icon_data.png = '''Doc'''umentation image, used in the '''mig'''ration guide, depicting the '''data'''base '''icon'''.
* If possible, do not pre-scale the images you are uploading. You can use the MediaWiki image thumbnail feature to scale the image.
* Edit the image if necessary to make sure that the important part is clear and visible.
* Keep in mind that people may be translating the page where you are placing an image. Try not to include callouts or other extra text on the image.
* JPG is usually best for photos, SVG, for icons, logos etc, and PNG for screen captures. Try not to use BMP.

Before you can insert your well prepared image in a wiki page you have to upload it.
# In the sidebar, under '''toolbox''', click '''Upload file'''. The image description page will appear.
# Use the image description page to describe an image and copyright status (if any).

To place the image on a page you can use the MediaWiki Image thumbnail feature which "wraps" your illustrations in an image box. This image box includes a spot for an image caption. The syntax is <tt>[[Image:''image.png|thumb|position|size|Image caption'']]</tt>, where:
* thumb = thumbnail the image and wrap in an image box
* position = position on page. "none" places the image on the left of the frame with no text wrapping. "left" and "right" places the image on the left or right of the page with full text wrapping.
* size = max width in pixels for the image. If the image is larger than this value it is scaled down. If the image is smaller it is left as is.
If you do not declare a position and size, the image is scaled to a small thumbnail, and defaults to the right hand side of the page with full text wrapping.

Here is an example using <tt><nowiki>[[Image:LoadSaveOptions.png|thumb|none|500px|An example image caption]]</nowiki></tt>

[[Image:LoadSaveOptions.png|thumb|none|500px|An example image caption]]

* How to handle image and table numbering?

=Linking=

Although the editing window offers assistence in writing internal and external links look at the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Links MediaWiki help page about links] for a better understanding of how links are working in wikis.

There is another MediaWiki help page if you need some [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext_examples#Links examples].

When creating link text consider the guidelines for [[Documentation/Dashboard/Help_Style_Guide#Using_Links | using links]] in our style guide.

=General Editing Work=

Editing is only possible after login. You can start editing the whole page after clicking the '''edit''' tab at the top. But usually it is more comfortable to edit individual sections of a page by clicking one of the '''[edit]''' links on the right side. If you make changes, please consider the rules of the [[Documentation/Dashboard/Help_Style_Guide | style guide]] to assure a consistent writing style. Click the '''Show preview''' button before you save the page finally.

== Fixing inappropriate, inaccurate, or outdated content ==

Contents that are not up to date are usually marked by one of the following labels:

{|border=1 style="border-collapse:collapse;" cellpadding=3 cellspacing=4
|- valign=top
| {{Documentation/Outdated}}
| This label means that an article is outdated as a whole and needs to be revised completely.
|- valign=top
| {{Documentation/HelpNeeded|works for OOo 2, needs to be confirmed for OOo 3}}
| If an article is partly outdated or inaccurate you may find this label asking for specific help.
|- valign=top
| {{Documentation/NeedsRework}}
| You can find a collection of pages with this label if you click on [[:Category:Documentation/NeedsRework|Pages that Need Help! ]] on the Wiki main page.
|}

When you have selected a page to work on

#test whether the described procedures are still valid for the current version of OpenOffice.org.
#log in and make the necessary corrections.

This works best when you open two tabs in the browser, one for reading the procedures and another for editing.

When you have finished, remove the above label(s), mark the page with the label "Checked for technical accuracy" (as described in the [[Documentation/Dashboard/Wiki Editing Policy#List_of_Existing_Documentation_Templates|Templates]] section above), and click '''Save page'''.

==Fixing minor errors and typos==

If you detect minor errors like typos, just log in and edit the article. Before clicking on the '''Save page''' button you might check the '''This is a minor edit''' box above.

==Fixing graphics and screenshots==

To edit a graphic in the wiki, right-click the graphic and choose '''Save image as'''. When you have edited the graphic on your computer, go back to the wiki page, click the graphic, and in the image description page choose '''Upload a new version of this file'''.

If you have created a new version of a screenshot, directly click the corresponding screenshot in the wiki and then '''Upload a new version of this file''' in the image description page.

==Fixing Style and Language==

Articles that need improvement in style and language might be recognized by the following labels:
{{Documentation/HelpNeeded|Check the spelling}}
{{Documentation/NeedsRework}}
You can find a collection of articles with the latter label if you click on [[:Category:Documentation/NeedsRework | Pages that Need Help! ]] on the Wiki main page.

To improve such an article, just log in, click on the edit tab and make the necessary corrections. Then remove the label(s) and click on '''Save page'''.

==Linking to localized pages==

* Link the various languages to each other using the Interwiki links syntax <tt><nowiki>[[ISO_Lang_code:Page_Title]]</nowiki></tt>. <br> For example, <tt><nowiki>[[zh:Zh/Documentation/DevGuide/OpenOffice.org_Developers_Guide]]</nowiki></tt> adds a link to the Chinese translation of the first page of the Developer's Guide. This link shows in the left column, under the heading "In other languages". This may be more practical to do with Wiki Templates as more languages are added.
* In the Developer's guide we use a template to link translated pages. <br> The Wiki Syntax is: <tt><nowiki>
{{Documentation/DevGuideLanguages|Page_Title}}</nowiki></tt> where Page_Title is the current Wiki page name. <br> For example, <tt><nowiki>{{Documentation/DevGuideLanguages|Documentation/DevGuide/OpenOffice.org
Developers Guide}}</nowiki></tt> will add the localized page links for the first page in the Developer's Guide. <br> If you want to see a link to your language at the Developer's Guide wiki pages simply add your language to the template [[Template:Documentation/DevGuideLanguages]]. For example, for Dutch you would have to add <tt><nowiki>[[nl:NL/{{{1}}}]]</nowiki></tt>. Make sure the template is referenced correctly in each of the translated pages.

==Validating Content==

==Fixing Spam / Deleting Pages==

If you detect spam you can send an email to [mailto:dev@openoffice.apache.org the dev@ list].

There is also a [[Special:Listusers/sysop|list of Wiki Sysops]] (people who can delete pages). If you want to have pages deleted, you can either ask someone from that list, or better, add the Wiki Syntax <tt><nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki></tt> anywhere on the page you want to be deleted. This will add the page to the "Candidates for speedy deletion" category, and the page will be deleted by someone with Sysop privileges, or by WikiBot maintenance.

=Working on FAQs=
Every question together with its answer is displayed on one single wiki page.

If you want to insert a new FAQ entry, that is, a pair of a question together with the corresponding answer:
<ol>
<li> Select a FAQ section on the main page of the Documentation Wiki. In Writer and Calc you have to select another subpage until you reach a final FAQ section.</li>
<li> Scroll down to the Insert New FAQ listbox.</li>
<li> Replace the text in the listbox after the last slash '/' with your question.</li>
<li> Click '''Add New FAQ'''<br>A new wiki page will be created and preloaded with a template for a Q/A pair:

<source lang="text">
{{{DISPLAYTITLE: (INSERT FAQ TITLE)}}

<section begin=question/>
<INSERT QUESTION>
<section end=question/>

<section begin=answer/>
<INSERT ANSWER>
<section end=answer/>

[[Category:Documentation/FAQ/<INSERT FAQ SECTION>]]

</source>

</li>

<li> Replace <tt>(INSERT FAQ TITLE)</tt> with the title of the FAQ to be displayed on the page. This may be a short version of the question or the question itself.</li>
<li> Replace <tt><INSERT QUESTION></tt> with the actual question.</li>
<li> Replace <tt><INSERT ANSWER></tt> with the actual answer.</li>
<li> Replace <tt><INSERT FAQ SECTION></tt> with the current FAQ section name. This category assignment determines where this wiki page will appear. Please use the following section names:</li>

{|class="prettytable sortable"

<li>Click '''Save Page'''.</li>
</ol>

=Working on How Tos=
If you want to create a new How To
# Go to the [[Documentation/How_Tos | How Tos section]] and open the edit window.
# Identify the adequate subsection and enter the title of your How To as a link.
# Click '''Save Page''' to make the link visible.
# Click the link to your How To and start writing by using the rules of the [[Documentation/Dashboard/Help_Style_Guide | style guide]]. If you are not sure about how to implement the style guide, have a look at the Writer How To [[Documentation/How_Tos/Getting_a_Picture_into_the_Gallery | Getting a Picture Into the Gallery]].

{{Documentation/Note|Always put the licence link at the end of your article: Simply insert <tt><nowiki>{{PDL1}}</nowiki></tt>. }}

You can also create How Tos by writing a new page like <tt>Documentation/How Tos/''Page Name''</tt> with one or more specific categories. The newly created How To page will then be assigned to the corresponding How To sections. The available categories for that are the following:
* <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Documentation/How Tos/Installation]]</nowiki></tt>
* <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Documentation/How Tos/Writer]]</nowiki></tt>
* <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Documentation/How Tos/Impress]]</nowiki></tt>
* <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Documentation/How Tos/Calc]]</nowiki></tt>
* <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Documentation/How Tos/Database]]</nowiki></tt>

If you want to revise existing How Tos, watch for the label "This article needs to be checked for accuracy and style."
* Test whether the described procedures are still valid for the current version of OpenOffice.org,
* check whether the rules of the style guide are applied,
* check for grammar and spelling mistakes,
and make the necessary corrections in the edit window.

When you have finished, mark the page with the label "Checked for technical accuracy" as described in the [[Documentation/Dashboard/Wiki_Editing_Policy#List_of_Existing_Documentation_Templates | Templates]] section above, and click '''Save page'''.

Do not forget to notify [mailto:dev@documentation.openoffice.org dev@documentation.openoffice.org] about your work on the How Tos.

=Working on Guides=
Currently, there are the following guides on the wiki:
* [[Documentation/Administration_Guide|The Administration Guide]]
* [[Documentation/BASIC_Guide|The BASIC Programming Guide]]
* [[Documentation/Building_Guide|The Building Guide (OO.o from source)]]
* [[Documentation/DevGuide/OpenOffice.org_Developers_Guide|The Developer's Guide]]
* [[Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual|The User Guides for OpenOffice.org 2.x]]
* [[Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides|The User Guides for OpenOffice.org 3.x]]

If you want to work on the User Guides for OpenOffice.org please contact the [http://www.oooauthors.org OOoAuthors group].

There is some help available about [[Documentation/DevGuide/Contributing_to_the_Developers_Guide|Contributing to the Developer's Guide]] which may also be useful for the Administration Guide and the BASIC Programming Guide.

[[ru:RU/wiki_editing_policy|Политика Wiki-редактирования]]
{{Documentation/Banner}}
{{Documentation/DraftPage}}
{{DISPLAYTITLE:Wiki Editing Policy}}
[[fr:FR/Documentation/Dashboard/Wiki_Editing_Policy]]

This article helps you to contribute effectively to the Documentation part of the wiki. We strongly encourage you to announce new pages or major changes to the mailing list [mailto:dev@documentation.openoffice.org dev@documentation.openoffice.org].

= Project-independent ruleset =
{{Documentation/Note|See the general project-independent rules at [[OOo_Wiki_Contribution_Rules]] first!}}

= Prerequisites for Editing =
You must be registered and logged in before you can edit the Wiki. Registration is easily done.
# Click on '''Log in / create account''' in the upper right corner of the screen and enter the required bits. <br> We recommend using the same username as on the OpenOffice.org website.
# Subsequently you have to validate your email address.

For further logins you use the same entry point, enter Username and Password, and click the '''Log in''' button.

{{Documentation/Caution | To combat vandalism, newly registered users cannot edit any page or create a new page until a '''four (4) day "cooling off period"''' has elapsed.}}
The next step could be to tell the Community about yourself. There is definitely no harm and it is a good way of getting comfortable with the Wiki.
#When you are logged in, your username shows at the top of the page, <span style="color:#9F0000"> in red,</span> until you create your user page. Click on your username to do that.
#On your page, add some sections as given below, as it is your profile on the OpenOffice Wiki;
#* About yourself
#* OpenOffice and you
#* Your contributions
#* Work in progress
#* Any future plans?
#* Reference (optional)
#* Contact

So, this is somewhat a template, for creating a profile.
You may or may not need to follow this template, you may have sections of your choice. This is done to make a profile in a uniform way for all the new users.

=Adding Comments=

Important comments should be announced on the mailing list [mailto:dev@documentation.openoffice.org dev@documentation.openoffice.org] to be sure that they get noticed.

To add a comment to a page
# Click the '''Discussion''' tab on the top of the page.
#* If you are starting a new topic click on the '''+''' sign to the right of the '''edit''' tab at the top, fill in the subject line and write your comment in the main text box.
#* If you want to add a comment to an existing discussion leave it after the existing comments and indent it by putting one or more colons (<code>:</code>) at the beginning of each paragraph.
# Sign your username with four tildes (<code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>). You can do this automatically with the '''signature with timestamp''' button ( http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/w/skins/common/images/button_sig.png ) on the toolbar.
# Click '''Save Page'''.

To learn more about comments see the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Talk_pages Mediawiki help about talk pages]

=Structure of the [[Documentation]] Section of the Wiki=

The Documentation section is only part of the large OpenOffice.org Wiki. The doc.oo.o project
tries to present the information in this section in a way that it is easily accessible and
has a structure that allows straightforward navigation for both users and contributors.

All documentation pages are subpages of the main Documentation page. A further substructure
presents sections as subpages containing further subpages. Think of it as a hierarchical
representation, just like a file system. Every subpage is automatically linked back to the main page.

The current wiki page tree looks like this:

wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation
|
+---Dashboard
+---Administration Guide
+---FAQ
+---How Tos
+---OOoAuthors User Manual
+---OOo3 User Guides

|}

=Creating new Pages=

{{Documentation/Caution | Before creating a page make sure that there is not already an existing page with a similar topic.}}

* If the new page can be a subpage of an existing page simply go to the existing page and create a link to the new page. After saving the page with the link you can click the link and start writing on your new page.

* If you want to create a really new page for the Documentation project, you can use the wiki's URL for creating a new page. You should observe the wiki page tree when you create a new page in this way. The URL to a wiki page is then something like this: <br> <tt><nowiki> http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/documentation/</nowiki>''Page Name''</tt>
* However, the recommended method is to search for the desired page name (in the Search field above left), and when the page does not exist, you will be offered to "create this page" by clicking on a link on the Search Results Page.

{{Documentation/Note | The URL approach is only useful if you link the page later to other pages. Otherwise it will be hidden in the wiki.}}

For more information about new pages see the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Starting_a_new_page Mediawiki help about new pages]

=Using Categories=

The Categories that are assigned to a page are usually listed at the bottom of the page. Click on a Category, and you will view a topic page with all the pages that have been classified in that Category. This way, a Category tag in a page gives you the opportunity to look up related contents. The bigger the page the more Category tags might be inserted

To add a Category tag to a page
# Click '''Special pages''' in the toolbox on the left side.
# Click '''Categories''' in the Special pages link list.
# Choose a Category name that makes sense, and apply it by adding <tt><nowiki>[[Category:''Category Name'']]</nowiki></tt> at the end of the page.

{{Documentation/Caution | Do not create duplicate Categories for the same topic. Each Category must be unique. Otherwise it will be difficult to use the Categories for searching the wiki.}}

Look at [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Categories MediaWiki Help:Categories] if you want to know more about Wiki Categories.

A simple example of how to use Categories in Wiki books:
# Create a Category named after the current chapter.
# Add the new Category tag to all pages of that chapter
# Add the Category tag for the book to the newly created Category page.

The reader can then view the book Category. The book Category shows all the chapters in the book. If the reader clicks on a chapter Category, they can see all of the pages in that chapter (in alphabetical order).

Do not add a category and its subcategory to the same wiki page. For more information see the MediaWiki Help:Category section on [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Category#Category_considerations Category considerations].

You can use Templates to add a common category to a large group of pages, but it is not recommended. It may appear to save time, but "adding or deleting a category tag in the template does not add or delete the listings on the category page of pages that use the template, until some edit is made in the page that uses the template." For more information, see the MediaWiki Help:Category section on [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Category#Using_templates_to_populate_categories Using templates to populate categories].

=Templates=

Look at the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates Templates help] if you are unfamiliar with mediawiki templates.

==Adding a new Documentation Template==
<section begin=addingtemplate />
* If you create a new template to be used in the wiki documentation, name it as a subpage of '''Documentation'''.

<section end="doctemplates" />

=Graphical Content=

General guidelines for images are:
* Use a descriptive and unique title. The filename should be constructed in a way so it shows the usage, e.g. Doc_mig_icon_data.png = '''Doc'''umentation image, used in the '''mig'''ration guide, depicting the '''data'''base '''icon'''.
* If possible, do not pre-scale the images you are uploading. You can use the MediaWiki image thumbnail feature to scale the image.
* Edit the image if necessary to make sure that the important part is clear and visible.
* Keep in mind that people may be translating the page where you are placing an image. Try not to include callouts or other extra text on the image.
* JPG is usually best for photos, SVG, for icons, logos etc, and PNG for screen captures. Try not to use BMP.

Before you can insert your well prepared image in a wiki page you have to upload it.
# In the sidebar, under '''toolbox''', click '''Upload file'''. The image description page will appear.
# Use the image description page to describe an image and copyright status (if any).

To place the image on a page you can use the MediaWiki Image thumbnail feature which "wraps" your illustrations in an image box. This image box includes a spot for an image caption. The syntax is <tt>[[Image:''image.png|thumb|position|size|Image caption'']]</tt>, where:
* thumb = thumbnail the image and wrap in an image box
* position = position on page. "none" places the image on the left of the frame with no text wrapping. "left" and "right" places the image on the left or right of the page with full text wrapping.
* size = max width in pixels for the image. If the image is larger than this value it is scaled down. If the image is smaller it is left as is.
If you do not declare a position and size, the image is scaled to a small thumbnail, and defaults to the right hand side of the page with full text wrapping.

Here is an example using <tt><nowiki>[[Image:LoadSaveOptions.png|thumb|none|500px|An example image caption]]</nowiki></tt>

[[Image:LoadSaveOptions.png|thumb|none|500px|An example image caption]]

* How to handle image and table numbering?

=Linking=

Although the editing window offers assistence in writing internal and external links look at the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Links MediaWiki help page about links] for a better understanding of how links are working in wikis.

There is another MediaWiki help page if you need some [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext_examples#Links examples].

When creating link text consider the guidelines for [[Documentation/Dashboard/Help_Style_Guide#Using_Links | using links]] in our style guide.

=General Editing Work=

Editing is only possible after login. You can start editing the whole page after clicking the '''edit''' tab at the top. But usually it is more comfortable to edit individual sections of a page by clicking one of the '''[edit]''' links on the right side. If you make changes, please consider the rules of the [[Documentation/Dashboard/Help_Style_Guide | style guide]] to assure a consistent writing style. Click the '''Show preview''' button before you save the page finally.

== Fixing inappropriate, inaccurate, or outdated content ==

Contents that are not up to date are usually marked by one of the following labels:

{|border=1 style="border-collapse:collapse;" cellpadding=3 cellspacing=4
|- valign=top
| {{Documentation/Outdated}}
| This label means that an article is outdated as a whole and needs to be revised completely.
|- valign=top
| {{Documentation/HelpNeeded|works for OOo 2, needs to be confirmed for OOo 3}}
| If an article is partly outdated or inaccurate you may find this label asking for specific help.
|- valign=top
| {{Documentation/NeedsRework}}
| You can find a collection of pages with this label if you click on [[:Category:Documentation/NeedsRework|Pages that Need Help! ]] on the Wiki main page.
|}

When you have selected a page to work on

#test whether the described procedures are still valid for the current version of OpenOffice.org.
#log in and make the necessary corrections.

This works best when you open two tabs in the browser, one for reading the procedures and another for editing.

When you have finished, remove the above label(s), mark the page with the label "Checked for technical accuracy" (as described in the [[Documentation/Dashboard/Wiki Editing Policy#List_of_Existing_Documentation_Templates|Templates]] section above), and click '''Save page'''.

==Fixing minor errors and typos==

If you detect minor errors like typos, just log in and edit the article. Before clicking on the '''Save page''' button you might check the '''This is a minor edit''' box above.

==Fixing graphics and screenshots==

To edit a graphic in the wiki, right-click the graphic and choose '''Save image as'''. When you have edited the graphic on your computer, go back to the wiki page, click the graphic, and in the image description page choose '''Upload a new version of this file'''.

If you have created a new version of a screenshot, directly click the corresponding screenshot in the wiki and then '''Upload a new version of this file''' in the image description page.

==Fixing Style and Language==

Articles that need improvement in style and language might be recognized by the following labels:
{{Documentation/HelpNeeded|Check the spelling}}
{{Documentation/NeedsRework}}
You can find a collection of articles with the latter label if you click on [[:Category:Documentation/NeedsRework | Pages that Need Help! ]] on the Wiki main page.

To improve such an article, just log in, click on the edit tab and make the necessary corrections. Then remove the label(s) and click on '''Save page'''.

==Linking to localized pages==

* Link the various languages to each other using the Interwiki links syntax <tt><nowiki>[[ISO_Lang_code:Page_Title]]</nowiki></tt>. <br> For example, <tt><nowiki>[[zh:Zh/Documentation/DevGuide/OpenOffice.org_Developers_Guide]]</nowiki></tt> adds a link to the Chinese translation of the first page of the Developer's Guide. This link shows in the left column, under the heading "In other languages". This may be more practical to do with Wiki Templates as more languages are added.
* In the Developer's guide we use a template to link translated pages. <br> The Wiki Syntax is: <tt><nowiki>
{{Documentation/DevGuideLanguages|Page_Title}}</nowiki></tt> where Page_Title is the current Wiki page name. <br> For example, <tt><nowiki>{{Documentation/DevGuideLanguages|Documentation/DevGuide/OpenOffice.org
Developers Guide}}</nowiki></tt> will add the localized page links for the first page in the Developer's Guide. <br> If you want to see a link to your language at the Developer's Guide wiki pages simply add your language to the template [[Template:Documentation/DevGuideLanguages]]. For example, for Dutch you would have to add <tt><nowiki>[[nl:NL/{{{1}}}]]</nowiki></tt>. Make sure the template is referenced correctly in each of the translated pages.

==Validating Content==

==Fixing Spam / Deleting Pages==

If you detect spam you can send a mail to [mailto:dev@website.openoffice.org dev@website.openoffice.org].

There is also a [[Special:Listusers/sysop|list with Wiki Sysops]] (people who can delete pages). If you want to have pages deleted, you can either ask someone from that list, or better, add the Wiki Syntax <tt><nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki></tt> anywhere on the page you want to be deleted. This will add the page to the "Candidates for speedy deletion" category, and the page will be deleted by someone with Sysop privileges, or by WikiBot maintenance.

=Working on FAQs=
Every question together with its answer is displayed on one single wiki page.

If you want to insert a new FAQ entry, that is, a pair of a question together with the corresponding answer:
<ol>
<li> Select a FAQ section on the main page of the Documentation Wiki. In Writer and Calc you have to select another subpage until you reach a final FAQ section.</li>
<li> Scroll down to the Insert New FAQ listbox.</li>
<li> Replace the text in the listbox after the last slash '/' with your question.</li>
<li> Click '''Add New FAQ'''<br>A new wiki page will be created and preloaded with a template for a Q/A pair:

<source lang="text">
{{{DISPLAYTITLE: (INSERT FAQ TITLE)}}

<section begin=question/>
<INSERT QUESTION>
<section end=question/>

<section begin=answer/>
<INSERT ANSWER>
<section end=answer/>

[[Category:Documentation/FAQ/<INSERT FAQ SECTION>]]

</source>

</li>

<li> Replace <tt>(INSERT FAQ TITLE)</tt> with the title of the FAQ to be displayed on the page. This may be a short version of the question or the question itself.</li>
<li> Replace <tt><INSERT QUESTION></tt> with the actual question.</li>
<li> Replace <tt><INSERT ANSWER></tt> with the actual answer.</li>
<li> Replace <tt><INSERT FAQ SECTION></tt> with the current FAQ section name. This category assignment determines where this wiki page will appear. Please use the following section names:</li>

{|class="prettytable sortable"

=Working on How Tos=
If you want to create a new How To
# Go to the [[Documentation/How_Tos | How Tos section]] and open the edit window.
# Identify the adequate subsection and enter the title of your How To as a link.
# Click '''Save Page''' to make the link visible.
# Click the link to your How To and start writing by using the rules of the [[Documentation/Dashboard/Help_Style_Guide | style guide]]. If you are not sure about how to implement the style guide, have a look at the Writer How To [[Documentation/How_Tos/Getting_a_Picture_into_the_Gallery | Getting a Picture Into the Gallery]].

{{Documentation/Note|Always put the licence link at the end of your article: Simply insert <tt><nowiki>{{PDL1}}</nowiki></tt>. }}

You can also create How Tos by writing a new page like <tt>Documentation/How Tos/''Page Name''</tt> with one or more specific categories. The newly created How To page will then be assigned to the corresponding How To sections. The available categories for that are the following:
* <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Documentation/How Tos/Installation]]</nowiki></tt>
* <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Documentation/How Tos/Writer]]</nowiki></tt>
* <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Documentation/How Tos/Impress]]</nowiki></tt>
* <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Documentation/How Tos/Calc]]</nowiki></tt>
* <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Documentation/How Tos/Database]]</nowiki></tt>

If you want to revise existing How Tos, watch for the label "This article needs to be checked for accuracy and style."
* Test whether the described procedures are still valid for the current version of OpenOffice.org,
* check whether the rules of the style guide are applied,
* check for grammar and spelling mistakes,
and make the necessary corrections in the edit window.

When you have finished, mark the page with the label "Checked for technical accuracy" as described in the [[Documentation/Dashboard/Wiki_Editing_Policy#List_of_Existing_Documentation_Templates | Templates]] section above, and click '''Save page'''.

Do not forget to notify [mailto:dev@documentation.openoffice.org dev@documentation.openoffice.org] about your work on the How Tos.

=Working on Guides=
Currently, there are the following guides on the wiki:
* [[Documentation/Administration_Guide|The Administration Guide]]
* [[Documentation/BASIC_Guide|The BASIC Programming Guide]]
* [[Documentation/Building_Guide|The Building Guide (OO.o from source)]]
* [[Documentation/DevGuide/OpenOffice.org_Developers_Guide|The Developer's Guide]]
* [[Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual|The User Guides for OpenOffice.org 2.x]]
* [[Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides|The User Guides for OpenOffice.org 3.x]]

If you want to work on the User Guides for OpenOffice.org please contact the [http://www.oooauthors.org OOoAuthors group].

There is some help available about [[Documentation/DevGuide/Contributing_to_the_Developers_Guide|Contributing to the Developer's Guide]] which may also be useful for the Administration Guide and the BASIC Programming Guide.

TJFrazier: /* Some errors */ Removing redlinks

== Toma de contacto con OpenOffice.org ==

1. What is OpenOffice.org?:

First of all, I should introduce a general concept about what OpenOffice.org is... OpenOffice is a package that includes some applications for working in the office and school world.
What makes this project interesting is that everyone can program this applications because OpenOffice.org, as its name says, is an open source code what means that everyone can improve the functionalities that are already done in the package or create new ones. The OpenOffice package is composed by OpenOffice.org Base, OpenOffice.org Calc, OpenOffice.org Draw, OpenOffice.org Impress, OpenOffice.org Math and OpenOffice.org Writer.

2. Extension developer:

My current target in the OpenOffice.org project is Extension developer, what means I should improve the OpenOffice.org package with new functionalities or maybe improving old ones. For that, I have a tutor from México, I am from Canary Islands, Spain and the time difference is around 6 six hours what makes this practices a little bit more difficult. Also, the vocabulary that we use sometimes is different even if we speak spanish, I have noticed that we use the spanish in different ways but it isnt anything that we cant solve. We use IRC for communicate with each other and also the webmail. Majority I get the documentation from the OpenOffice.org Wiki where everything is explained with examples, it has a lot of information and sometimes I think it is too much because I have got lost when I tried to find something it has a lot of link and it makes me confuse. This is the link for the main page of the wiki: “http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Main_Page “

3. Getting Started in OpenOffice.org development world:

What do we need for starting a OpenOffice.org project? In my case, I am using Win7. My tutor said it would not be a problem as long I do not try to test any scripts, so I continued with Win7. I started trying java projects so I needed Netbeans software and also the OpenOffice.org package + OOo with SDK (Software Development Kit), I downloaded it on “http://download.openoffice.org/ “.
My first “big” problem was that I couldnt add the OpenOffice.org plugin to Netbeans, so I could not run it, after couple of days I discovered that the last version of Netbeans 7.0.1 did not work with the OpenOffice.org plugin, so I had to change to another older like Netbeans 6.8. After following the steps on the wiki OpenOffice.org Netbeans Integration (“http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OpenOffice_NetBeans_Integration “).
When I solved the problem I could make some examples in Java. But looks like I am not going to program Java, the target right now is to work in Python, something that for me its totally new so I guess I will take more time that it shoulds.
I am knowing how Python works and I have tried to test some examples without using OOo and here is where I found the disadvantage of working on Windows because I cant testing as my tutor told me the first days.

== Some errors ==

Well, now I will introduce some errors that I got and I could not fix:

After updating Ubuntu to Ubuntu 11.10 and OpenOffice 3.4:

1) Netbeans 7.0.1 & OOo Plugin: Following [http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OpenOffice_NetBeans_Integration] It took me some days discovering the OpenOffice Plugin does not work on this new version...looks like it is not updated yet. When I try to install the plugin I get: <nowiki>[[File:D:\Openffice\magenesErrores\Error_Plugin2.0.7.png]]</nowiki>

2) Example, General UNO Component & Netbeans 6.9.1: Following [http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/General_UNO_Component_Project_Type] When I arrive to the step "Add Service/Interface" I should get some types....but I dont, as you can see in the picture <nowiki>[[File:D:\Openffice\magenesErrores\error- testComponent-netbeans6.9.1.png]]</nowiki>

3) Same Example, General UNO Component & Netbeans 6.8: Following [http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/General_UNO_Component_Project_Type]. With this version it works good until I press the Finish buttom, then I get: <nowiki>[[File:D:\Openffice\magenesErrores\Error-TestComponent- netbeans6.8.png]]</nowiki>. After I get this error, netbeans creates the project but when I try to "Deploy and Run Extension in Openoffice.org" and I get another error:
<nowiki>[[File:D:\Openffice\magenesErrores\Error2-TestComponent - netbeans6.8]]
</nowiki>

Also, I have made the following examples [http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OpenOffice_Calc_Add-In_Project_Type], [http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OpenOffice_Add-On_Project_Type]and [http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/UNO_component_packaging]. This ones work fine.

4)Running Ubuntu 11.10 and following [http://lucasmanual.com/mywiki/OpenOffice], when I try to put this "openoffice -accept="socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager" it doesnt work, so I try to find a alias by using TAB oo but I can not find it...then when I go to /opt/ooo-dev3/program/ and execute soffice an Libreoffice instance appears, so i dont know why it is happening I just want an openoffice instance.
<nowiki>[[File:D:\Openffice\magenesErrores\LibreOffice.png]]
</nowiki>

5)'''Solved''':Running Win7 and Working with Python: Following [http://lucasmanual.com/mywiki/OpenOffice] when I try to make this step ("set cursor"), I get this error <nowiki>[[File:D:\Openffice\magenesErrores\LucasWikiErrorSetCursor.png]]</nowiki> and I dont know how to solve it because I dont know how to program Python.

5.1)'''Solved''' In the same example after solving nº5, I can not make the step "Load Existing Document" maybe is the route but I have followed the instructions, this is the error that i get: <nowiki>[[File:D:\Openffice\magenesErrores\LucasWikiErrorLoadExistingDoc.png]].</nowiki>

6)Trying to run this code: On the website [http://codesnippets.services.openoffice.org/Office/Office.MessageBoxWithTheUNOBasedToolkit.snip] When I try to run the code python says that "it can not import the module named com.sun.star.awt, here is the picture:
<nowiki>[[File:D:\OpenOffice\ImagenesErrores\ImportError.png]]
</nowiki>

== File Notation Errors ==
Hi,

I have bracketed your "File:D:\" entries with "nowiki" tags, because the redlinks were showing up on the maintenance reports. To use "File:" notation, the file must be loaded onto the wiki. --[[User:TJFrazier|TJ]] ([[User_talk:TJFrazier|Talk]]) 13:58, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

== Finding your Way Around ==
'''Airport Transfer '''

The Airport Minibus is a convenient, door-to-door shuttle service that will take you directly from the airport to your destination and vice-versa. Book at the Airport Minibus Desk on the arrival level at all terminals. The cost is approximately 2.990,-HUF/one way ticket (~11 €) per person. NB: Airport-bound trips must be booked at least 24 hours in advance.

'''Taxi'''

To and from the airport, taxi companies have fixed prices for Pest and Buda destinations, ranging from 4000-5000 HUF. It is advisable to order taxi on phone, since Tourist Taxi, the only taxi company allowed at the airport charges significantly more than other companies. Be sure to agree about the price in advance. Tip about 10% if satisfied with service.

'''It is preferable to call a taxi company rather than hail one on the street. Recommended taxi companies:'''

''Fõ Taxi:'' (36-1) 222-2222

''City Taxi:'' (36-1) 211-1111

'''Public Transportation'''

Budapest has 3 metro lines: M1 (yellow), M2 (red) and M3 (blue). All 3 lines intersect in the heart of the city, at Deák tér. Trains run every 2-5 minutes from 4:30 am to 23:10 pm.

===== DIRECTIONS TO THE RESIDENCE =====
'''From Ferihegy 1-Ferihegy 2 Airport '''

A cheaper, but less convenient option from the airport is public transportation. Take bus No. 200E to ''Kõbánya-Kspest, ''the terminal of M3 (blue metro line). From here take the underground to ''Deák tér'', where you change to M2 (red line) and travel in the direction of ''Örs Vezér tér'' (M2 terminal). From here you will have to walk through the underpass towards the IKEA store to get to buses #44 or #45. The bus journey is only a few minutes (3 stops if you take No. 44, and 4 stops if you take No. 45). You must get off right after you see a McDonald's and Chinese restaurant on the right. The bus will stop after the overpass and the Residence will be on the right.

'''From Nyugati Train Station (M3)'''

Take the metro, direction ''Kõbánya-Kispest, ''to'' Deák tér'', where you change to M2 (red line) and travel in the direction of ''Örs Vezér tér'' (M2 terminal). From here you will have to walk through the underpass towards the IKEA store to get to buses No. 44 or No. 45. The bus journey is only a few minutes (3 stops if you take No. 44, and 4 stops if you take No. 45). You must get off right after you see a McDonald's and Chinese restaurant on the right. The bus will stop after the overpass and the Residence will be on the right.

'''From Keleti and Déli Train Station (M2)'''

Take metro line M2 (red line), direction ''Örs Vezér tér, ''to the terminal station. From here you will have to walk through the underpass towards the IKEA store to get to buses No. 44 or No. 45. The bus journey is only a few minutes (3 stops if you take No. 44 and 4 stops if you take No. 45). You must get off right after you see a McDonald's and Chinese restaurant on the right. The bus will stop after the overpass and the Residence will be on the right.

===== DIRECTIONS TO THE CONFERENCE VENUE =====
To get to the CEU, take any bus that stops opposite the Residence Center and go to the final station (''"Örs Vezér tér"'') - 3 stops if you take the No. 44 and 4 stops if you take the No. 45. Look for the underpass that leads you to the Metro and take it to ''"Deák tér".''

[[ru:RU/wiki_editing_policy|Политика Wiki-редактирования]]
{{Documentation/Banner}}
{{Documentation/DraftPage}}
{{DISPLAYTITLE:Wiki Editing Policy}}
[[fr:FR/Documentation/Dashboard/Wiki_Editing_Policy]]

This article helps you to contribute effectively to the Documentation part of the wiki. We strongly encourage you to announce new pages or major changes to the mailing list [mailto:dev@documentation.openoffice.org dev@documentation.openoffice.org].

= Project-independent ruleset =
{{Documentation/Note|See the general project-independent rules at [[OOo_Wiki_Contribution_Rules]] first!}}

= Prerequisites for Editing =
You must be registered and logged in before you can edit the Wiki. Registration is easily done.
# Click on '''Log in / create account''' in the upper right corner of the screen and enter the required bits. <br> We recommend using the same username as on the OpenOffice.org website.
# Subsequently you have to validate your email address.

For further logins you use the same entry point, enter Username and Password, and click the '''Log in''' button.

{{Documentation/Caution | To combat vandalism, newly registered users cannot edit any page or create a new page until a '''four (4) day "cooling off period"''' has elapsed.}}
The next step could be to tell the Community about yourself. There is definitely no harm and it is a good way of getting comfortable with the Wiki.
#When you are logged in, your username shows at the top of the page, <span style="color:#9F0000"> in red,</span> until you create your user page. Click on your username to do that.
#On your page, add some sections as given below, as it is your profile on the OpenOffice Wiki;
#* About yourself
#* OpenOffice and you
#* Your contributions
#* Work in progress
#* Any future plans?
#* Reference (optional)
#* Contact

So, this is somewhat a template, for creating a profile.
You may or may not need to follow this template, you may have sections of your choice. This is done to make a profile in a uniform way for all the new users.

=Adding Comments=

Important comments should be announced on the mailing list [mailto:dev@documentation.openoffice.org dev@documentation.openoffice.org] to be sure that they get noticed.

To add a comment to a page
# Click the '''Discussion''' tab on the top of the page.
#* If you are starting a new topic click on the '''+''' sign to the right of the '''edit''' tab at the top, fill in the subject line and write your comment in the main text box.
#* If you want to add a comment to an existing discussion leave it after the existing comments and indent it by putting one or more colons (<code>:</code>) at the beginning of each paragraph.
# Sign your username with four tildes (<code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>). You can do this automatically with the '''signature with timestamp''' button ( http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/w/skins/common/images/button_sig.png ) on the toolbar.
# Click '''Save Page'''.

To learn more about comments see the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Talk_pages Mediawiki help about talk pages]

=Structure of the [[Documentation]] Section of the Wiki=

The Documentation section is only part of the large OpenOffice.org Wiki. The doc.oo.o project
tries to present the information in this section in a way that it is easily accessible and
has a structure that allows straightforward navigation for both users and contributors.

All documentation pages are subpages of the main Documentation page. A further substructure
presents sections as subpages containing further subpages. Think of it as a hierarchical
representation, just like a file system. Every subpage is automatically linked back to the main page.

The current wiki page tree looks like this:

|}

=Creating new Pages=

{{Documentation/Caution | Before creating a page make sure that there is not already an existing page with a similar topic.}}

* If the new page can be a subpage of an existing page simply go to the existing page and create a link to the new page. After saving the page with the link you can click the link and start writing on your new page.

* If you want to create a really new page for the Documentation project, you can use the wiki's URL for creating a new page. You should observe the wiki page tree when you create a new page in this way. The URL to a wiki page is then something like this: <br> <tt><nowiki> http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/documentation/</nowiki>''Page Name''</tt>
* However, the recommended method is to search for the desired page name (in the Search field above left), and when the page does not exist, you will be offered to "create this page" by clicking on a link on the Search Results Page.

{{Documentation/Note | The URL approach is only useful if you link the page later to other pages. Otherwise it will be hidden in the wiki.}}

For more information about new pages see the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Starting_a_new_page Mediawiki help about new pages]

=Using Categories=

The Categories that are assigned to a page are usually listed at the bottom of the page. Click on a Category, and you will view a topic page with all the pages that have been classified in that Category. This way, a Category tag in a page gives you the opportunity to look up related contents. The bigger the page the more Category tags might be inserted

To add a Category tag to a page
# Click '''Special pages''' in the toolbox on the left side.
# Click '''Categories''' in the Special pages link list.
# Choose a Category name that makes sense, and apply it by adding <tt>[[Category:''Category Name'']]</tt> at the end of the page.

{{Documentation/Caution | Do not create duplicate Categories for the same topic. Each Category must be unique. Otherwise it will be difficult to use the Categories for searching the wiki.}}

Look at [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Categories MediaWiki Help:Categories] if you want to know more about Wiki Categories.

A simple example of how to use Categories in Wiki books:
# Create a Category named after the current chapter.
# Add the new Category tag to all pages of that chapter
# Add the Category tag for the book to the newly created Category page.

The reader can then view the book Category. The book Category shows all the chapters in the book. If the reader clicks on a chapter Category, they can see all of the pages in that chapter (in alphabetical order).

Do not add a category and its subcategory to the same wiki page. For more information see the MediaWiki Help:Category section on [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Category#Category_considerations Category considerations].

You can use Templates to add a common category to a large group of pages, but it is not recommended. It may appear to save time, but "adding or deleting a category tag in the template does not add or delete the listings on the category page of pages that use the template, until some edit is made in the page that uses the template." For more information, see the MediaWiki Help:Category section on [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Category#Using_templates_to_populate_categories Using templates to populate categories].

=Templates=

Look at the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates Templates help] if you are unfamiliar with mediawiki templates.

==Adding a new Documentation Template==
<section begin=addingtemplate />
* If you create a new template to be used in the wiki documentation, name it as a subpage of '''Documentation'''.
** wrong: <tt>mytemplate</tt>
** right: <tt>Documentation/mytemplate</tt>

* Add a description of the template purpose and usage to the template itself using the <code><noinclude></code> element as described in [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Template#Noinclude.2C_includeonly.2C_and_onlyinclude MediaWiki help: Template].

* Add the template to the list of templates below.

=Graphical Content=

General guidelines for images are:
* Use a descriptive and unique title. The filename should be constructed in a way so it shows the usage, e.g. Doc_mig_icon_data.png = '''Doc'''umentation image, used in the '''mig'''ration guide, depicting the '''data'''base '''icon'''.
* If possible, do not pre-scale the images you are uploading. You can use the MediaWiki image thumbnail feature to scale the image.
* Edit the image if necessary to make sure that the important part is clear and visible.
* Keep in mind that people may be translating the page where you are placing an image. Try not to include callouts or other extra text on the image.
* JPG is usually best for photos, SVG, for icons, logos etc, and PNG for screen captures. Try not to use BMP.

Before you can insert your well prepared image in a wiki page you have to upload it.
# In the sidebar, under '''toolbox''', click '''Upload file'''. The image description page will appear.
# Use the image description page to describe an image and copyright status (if any).

To place the image on a page you can use the MediaWiki Image thumbnail feature which "wraps" your illustrations in an image box. This image box includes a spot for an image caption. The syntax is <tt>[[Image:''image.png|thumb|position|size|Image caption'']]</tt>, where:
* thumb = thumbnail the image and wrap in an image box
* position = position on page. "none" places the image on the left of the frame with no text wrapping. "left" and "right" places the image on the left or right of the page with full text wrapping.
* size = max width in pixels for the image. If the image is larger than this value it is scaled down. If the image is smaller it is left as is.
If you do not declare a position and size, the image is scaled to a small thumbnail, and defaults to the right hand side of the page with full text wrapping.

Here is an example using <tt><nowiki>[[Image:LoadSaveOptions.png|thumb|none|500px|An example image caption]]</nowiki></tt>

[[Image:LoadSaveOptions.png|thumb|none|500px|An example image caption]]

* How to handle image and table numbering?

=Linking=

Although the editing window offers assistence in writing internal and external links look at the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Links MediaWiki help page about links] for a better understanding of how links are working in wikis.

There is another MediaWiki help page if you need some [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext_examples#Links examples].

When creating link text consider the guidelines for [[Documentation/Dashboard/Help_Style_Guide#Using_Links | using links]] in our style guide.

=General Editing Work=

Editing is only possible after login. You can start editing the whole page after clicking the '''edit''' tab at the top. But usually it is more comfortable to edit individual sections of a page by clicking one of the '''[edit]''' links on the right side. If you make changes, please consider the rules of the [[Documentation/Dashboard/Help_Style_Guide | style guide]] to assure a consistent writing style. Click the '''Show preview''' button before you save the page finally.

== Fixing inappropriate, inaccurate, or outdated content ==

Contents that are not up to date are usually marked by one of the following labels:

{|border=1 style="border-collapse:collapse;" cellpadding=3 cellspacing=4
|- valign=top
| {{Documentation/Outdated}}
| This label means that an article is outdated as a whole and needs to be revised completely.
|- valign=top
| {{Documentation/HelpNeeded|works for OOo 2, needs to be confirmed for OOo 3}}
| If an article is partly outdated or inaccurate you may find this label asking for specific help.
|- valign=top
| {{Documentation/NeedsRework}}
| You can find a collection of pages with this label if you click on [[:Category:Documentation/NeedsRework|Pages that Need Help! ]] on the Wiki main page.
|}

When you have selected a page to work on

#test whether the described procedures are still valid for the current version of OpenOffice.org.
#log in and make the necessary corrections.

This works best when you open two tabs in the browser, one for reading the procedures and another for editing.

When you have finished, remove the above label(s), mark the page with the label "Checked for technical accuracy" (as described in the [[Documentation/Dashboard/Wiki Editing Policy#List_of_Existing_Documentation_Templates|Templates]] section above), and click '''Save page'''.

==Fixing minor errors and typos==

If you detect minor errors like typos, just log in and edit the article. Before clicking on the '''Save page''' button you might check the '''This is a minor edit''' box above.

==Fixing graphics and screenshots==

To edit a graphic in the wiki, right-click the graphic and choose '''Save image as'''. When you have edited the graphic on your computer, go back to the wiki page, click the graphic, and in the image description page choose '''Upload a new version of this file'''.

If you have created a new version of a screenshot, directly click the corresponding screenshot in the wiki and then '''Upload a new version of this file''' in the image description page.

==Fixing Style and Language==

Articles that need improvement in style and language might be recognized by the following labels:
{{Documentation/HelpNeeded|Check the spelling}}
{{Documentation/NeedsRework}}
You can find a collection of articles with the latter label if you click on [[:Category:Documentation/NeedsRework | Pages that Need Help! ]] on the Wiki main page.

To improve such an article, just log in, click on the edit tab and make the necessary corrections. Then remove the label(s) and click on '''Save page'''.

==Linking to localized pages==

* Link the various languages to each other using the Interwiki links syntax <tt><nowiki>[[ISO_Lang_code:Page_Title]]</nowiki></tt>. <br> For example, <tt><nowiki>[[zh:Zh/Documentation/DevGuide/OpenOffice.org_Developers_Guide]]</nowiki></tt> adds a link to the Chinese translation of the first page of the Developer's Guide. This link shows in the left column, under the heading "In other languages". This may be more practical to do with Wiki Templates as more languages are added.
* In the Developer's guide we use a template to link translated pages. <br> The Wiki Syntax is: <tt><nowiki>
{{Documentation/DevGuideLanguages|Page_Title}}</nowiki></tt> where Page_Title is the current Wiki page name. <br> For example, <tt><nowiki>{{Documentation/DevGuideLanguages|Documentation/DevGuide/OpenOffice.org
Developers Guide}}</nowiki></tt> will add the localized page links for the first page in the Developer's Guide. <br> If you want to see a link to your language at the Developer's Guide wiki pages simply add your language to the template [[Template:Documentation/DevGuideLanguages]]. For example, for Dutch you would have to add <tt><nowiki>[[nl:NL/{{{1}}}]]</nowiki></tt>. Make sure the template is referenced correctly in each of the translated pages.

==Validating Content==

==Fixing Spam / Deleting Pages==

If you detect spam you can send a mail to [mailto:dev@website.openoffice.org dev@website.openoffice.org].

There is also a [[Special:Listusers/sysop|list with Wiki Sysops]] (people who can delete pages). If you want to have pages deleted, you can either ask someone from that list, or better, add the Wiki Syntax <tt><nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki></tt> anywhere on the page you want to be deleted. This will add the page to the "Candidates for speedy deletion" category, and the page will be deleted by someone with Sysop privileges, or by WikiBot maintenance.

=Working on FAQs=
Every question together with its answer is displayed on one single wiki page.

If you want to insert a new FAQ entry, that is, a pair of a question together with the corresponding answer:
<ol>
<li> Select a FAQ section on the main page of the Documentation Wiki. In Writer and Calc you have to select another subpage until you reach a final FAQ section.</li>
<li> Scroll down to the Insert New FAQ listbox.</li>
<li> Replace the text in the listbox after the last slash '/' with your question.</li>
<li> Click '''Add New FAQ'''<br>A new wiki page will be created and preloaded with a template for a Q/A pair:

<source lang="text">
{{{DISPLAYTITLE: (INSERT FAQ TITLE)}}

<section begin=question/>
<INSERT QUESTION>
<section end=question/>

<section begin=answer/>
<INSERT ANSWER>
<section end=answer/>

[[Category:Documentation/FAQ/<INSERT FAQ SECTION>]]

</source>

</li>

<li> Replace <tt>(INSERT FAQ TITLE)</tt> with the title of the FAQ to be displayed on the page. This may be a short version of the question or the question itself.</li>
<li> Replace <tt><INSERT QUESTION></tt> with the actual question.</li>
<li> Replace <tt><INSERT ANSWER></tt> with the actual answer.</li>
<li> Replace <tt><INSERT FAQ SECTION></tt> with the current FAQ section name. This category assignment determines where this wiki page will appear. Please use the following section names:</li>

{|class="prettytable sortable"

=Working on How Tos=
If you want to create a new How To
# Go to the [[Documentation/How_Tos | How Tos section]] and open the edit window.
# Identify the adequate subsection and enter the title of your How To as a link.
# Click '''Save Page''' to make the link visible.
# Click the link to your How To and start writing by using the rules of the [[Documentation/Dashboard/Help_Style_Guide | style guide]]. If you are not sure about how to implement the style guide, have a look at the Writer How To [[Documentation/How_Tos/Getting_a_Picture_into_the_Gallery | Getting a Picture Into the Gallery]].

{{Documentation/Note|Always put the licence link at the end of your article: Simply insert <tt><nowiki>{{PDL1}}</nowiki></tt>. }}

You can also create How Tos by writing a new page like <tt>Documentation/How Tos/''Page Name''</tt> with one or more specific categories. The newly created How To page will then be assigned to the corresponding How To sections. The available categories for that are the following:
* <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Documentation/How Tos/Installation]]</nowiki></tt>
* <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Documentation/How Tos/Writer]]</nowiki></tt>
* <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Documentation/How Tos/Impress]]</nowiki></tt>
* <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Documentation/How Tos/Calc]]</nowiki></tt>
* <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Documentation/How Tos/Database]]</nowiki></tt>

If you want to revise existing How Tos, watch for the label "This article needs to be checked for accuracy and style."
* Test whether the described procedures are still valid for the current version of OpenOffice.org,
* check whether the rules of the style guide are applied,
* check for grammar and spelling mistakes,
and make the necessary corrections in the edit window.

When you have finished, mark the page with the label "Checked for technical accuracy" as described in the [[Documentation/Dashboard/Wiki_Editing_Policy#List_of_Existing_Documentation_Templates | Templates]] section above, and click '''Save page'''.

Do not forget to notify [mailto:dev@documentation.openoffice.org dev@documentation.openoffice.org] about your work on the How Tos.

=Working on Guides=
Currently, there are the following guides on the wiki:
* [[Documentation/Administration_Guide|The Administration Guide]]
* [[Documentation/BASIC_Guide|The BASIC Programming Guide]]
* [[Documentation/Building_Guide|The Building Guide (OO.o from source)]]
* [[Documentation/DevGuide/OpenOffice.org_Developers_Guide|The Developer's Guide]]
* [[Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual|The User Guides for OpenOffice.org 2.x]]
* [[Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides|The User Guides for OpenOffice.org 3.x]]

If you want to work on the User Guides for OpenOffice.org please contact the [http://www.oooauthors.org OOoAuthors group].

There is some help available about [[Documentation/DevGuide/Contributing_to_the_Developers_Guide|Contributing to the Developer's Guide]] which may also be useful for the Administration Guide and the BASIC Programming Guide.

'''Sysop note:''' Pages in this category should be processed regularly by sysops, and removed, either by deletion or by removing the template, with an explanation in the action summary. Hence, this category should not be deleted, even if it's empty: it's ''supposed'' to be empty, most of the time.

Bonjour,

La licence originale est à cette page: [1]
http://hsqldb.org/web/hsqlLicense.html

Bonjour,
Pourais-tu mettre tes pages dans la rubrique FR de façon à ce que nous puissions les lier directement à la documentation francophone ? merci Sophie

Bonjour Sophie, et enchanté,
Excuses moi d'être débutant en matière de contribution, mais je vais essayer de trouver l'adresse exacte...
[2] http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Fr.openoffice.org c'est ici.

Cette page ci, par exemple ?
[3] http://fr.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?expandFolder=259&folderID=260
Là j'ai un problème... de débutant quand je me connecte (login) il m'envoie sur des pages "en"

En même temps si quelqu'un voit mieux que moi ce que tu veux dire, il peut les recopier depuis ces deux adresses:

Chapitre 2: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Image:Ch02_Problemes_SQL_fr.odt

Chapitre 6: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Image:Ch06_Tables_Texte_fr.odt

En laissant une trace ici pour garder ces deux adresses reliées.

Bonjour, désolée, c'est moi qui aurait dû être plus claire. Nous avons il y a peu de temps remanié le wiki pour que chaque langue ait sa catégorie.
L'adresse de départ pour le projet francophone est celle-ci http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/FR. Après le FR, tu peux créer toutes les pages que tu veux en français. Pour avoir un aperçu voici la catégorie http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Category:FR.
Si tu es d'accord je les déplacerai ce week dans la catégorie FR. Si tu veux discuter en direct avec moi, c'est sgauti@openoffice.org.
Et surtout, merci pour ton travail!

|}

Below is a list of features that are requested by users.
There is also, currently, a separate list for cool new [[FeatureSuggestions]].

== Calc: Simplified Graph Annotations ==
* Excel allows a chart to use "on the fly" data series. Instead of needing to specify a cell for a data series name, for example, you can put in the text. This is also useful when you need to put in goals to measure against. For example, x axis could be ={2005,2010} y could be ={500,500} for a line from 2005 to 2010 indicating a sales goal of 500 units. This way, you can clearly mark if you've met your target. There's no need to fill up a spreadsheet with this.
* Excel allows a chart to hide items from the legend. If the data series and the linear regression line are the same color, a good audience doesn't need it spelled out what the linear regression is and it can be safely hidden, reducing clutter and increasing readability of the chart.
* It's currently hard to identify which R^2 factor goes with which regression line. It would be useful to be able to have the text in the color of the regression line, or have the factor go next to the text in the legend, or have the text of the R^2 box specify which series it applies against, or ... You get the idea.
--[[User:Chrysrobyn|Chrysrobyn]] 13:18, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

== Advanced Cropping of pics==

Currently Openoffice lacks an easy, straightforward and visual way to crop pictures like MS Word 2007 does. Now you have to find the right option and crop it inserting numbers. Moreover, Word does not actually crop the pic, it just shows it cropped.
If Openoffice could make it simple to crop the view of pics, with the possibility of actually cropping the pic (thus saving space), it would be extremely useful!

== Disable Page Number on First Page Without Style Sheets ==

It's a convention on academic papers to begin pagination on the second page. Currently there is a workaround using style sheets, but it would be better to have a simple check box to "Disable page number on first page." Thanks.

== picture frame in draw ==
as I use draw kind like a dtp-programm, it would be useful to have a "picture frame" like in scribus to move and resize the picture inside the frame and let flow text around it.

== Change colour to grey range when black cartridge are used ==
Recently I had a printed document with black cartridge and it contains lot of graphs. I noticed that all colours are print as white, so all graphs was unreadable !!!!

So I think this will be great if Openoffice automatically ( with confirmation windows ) change all colours ( only for printing ) with different grey range and maybe with graphics background ( triangle, square, rectangle, rhombus, cross ... ).

This will be very useful if we have a very important report with no colour cartridge ( which happens very often )!

== Make sheet STABLE ! ==

For now, Openoffice use ugly bar and on Office one, they appear and disappear as where the pointer is. For example, if we have a numbering at one paragraph, the Bullets and Numbering bar appear ( that I personally hate that, very ugly ) and if we have merged it before with other bar at the top, the sheet move to the bottom a little bit. And when pointer move to an other part of the text, same stuff, the bar disappear and the sheet move a little bit to the top !

Why don't just anchor sheet at the centre ?????????????
It's very annoying me because this is like unstable state of this program !

Please, please, please, hear me !

== Option to Sync bibliography database with document ==
I had the following situation lately: I had edited several entries in the bibliography database (biblio.dbf), but without changing the identifier strings. When I created the bibliography index I expected the document to pull the current entries from the biblio.dbf file (via the identifier string). However it did not, but used some older entries that were saved in the document. Now I had to repeat all the changes I made to biblio.dbf for the document. That was not so bad ;-) But since I had split my thesis into multiple parts, with some bibliography entries appearing in several parts, I had to repeat the process even more often.
Therefore I suggest the bibliography database to be linked with the document in a way, that such problems be cicrumvented. For example: The user creates one (or more) bibliography database(s), sets which to use for each document (saved in the meta data) and then is able to make changes to biblio.dbf which are mirrored to the document (at the latest) when the bibliography index is created (as long as the identifier string stays the same).

== Default to only dictionary for new words ==

When I add a new word to the dictionary, I have to select which dictionary to add it to, even though there is only one. It would make the process less cumbersome if it would default to standard.dic if there is no other dictionary. Thanks. --[[User:Spade|Spade]] 09:18, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

== Allow to store a password with a database ==

I'm trying to use a PostgreSQL database to store references (so they can be used at multiple locations, what a concept!), but I don't want OOo to try to prompt for the password (it doesn't even seem able to do that on 3.0.1). There are other ways of securing the database; it is '''not''' the job of an office suite to dictate security policies. Plus, at least the Oasis Specification says you can store a database password with a "data pilot" so why not with a regular database? When it's implemented, the file format needs to be documented. Thanks.

== Merge wiki and main OOo site password databases ==

Given that Sun owns MySQL it shouldn't be that big a deal; users should not have to register twice to use all the facilities of "the OpenOffice.org site".

== EPUB export ==

Due to the growing market and availability of ebooks I would like to see an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epub EPUB] export feature. Should be not too hard to implement as this is a simple XML/HTML-based format.

:I'm writing a book on writing books for the Kindle and the two bummers I'm facing are that anchors tend to be absorbed into headers "<H1><A name="Chapter1"></A>Chapter One</H1>" and that the Table of Contents doesn't work in HTML mode. [[User:Hcobb|Hcobb]] 17:27, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

== Improve Notes ==
I've noticed that Notes in Writer are much nicer now (OO 3.0) with bubble graphics like MS Word. It would be really nice to extend a note to cover a RANGE of text not just one character location. For example, I'd like to use a Note to mark an '''entire''' paragraph as needing modification.
:Another request: The ability to reply to your own notes, as well as standard hotkeys to reveal/hide notes. [[User:Reil|Reil]] 21:47, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
:Another request: The ability to set the default font size of notes. Very useful for teaching. --[[User:Scroobious|Scroobious]] 05:26, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Indirectly associated to the Notes feature, there is the concept of "highliting with a marker". This could be implemented as an instance or mode of the Notes feature. The context is that of being able to save a highliting mask, along with commentary on the highlited excerpt. It would be useful for this functionality to be implemented in such a way that the highliting overlay and commentary would

1) be toggled on/off for show/hide of highliting (or for the more sophisticated use, toggle between 2 different "named" sets of highliting (should we call this functionality "excerpting") for purposes of comparing notes from different reviewers of the document;

2) be extractable and separately storable as a "named" set, for the purposes of leaving the original repository document unmodified; and

3) be a 2-way functionality (load from file & save to file) for all OpenOffice formats and, due to its ubiquitous nature for archival storage, PDF.

The commentary portion of the Notes functionality could be

1) anchored to same page, anchored to another page, or anchored to an indexed notes "bucket" page (akin to bibliographic listings);

2) toggled on/off for show/hide of the commentary (controlled separately from the highliting toggling); and

3) provide navigation from one note to the next, showing the corresponding except in highlited fashion.

While similarities exist between this functionality and the "revision" highliting functionality, the focus is very different and is not intended to be permanently incorporated into a file, put rather a dependent markup. This could be visualized by double-clicking on a .mup file which would include a reference to the archived ODT/PDF file, load up that source document, then apply the markup masking/functionality for reviewing/study. In this fashion, we need never fear the original file being modified (markup mode might be a read-only mode for the original document, with all periodic saves to the .mup work file).

== Improve update interface ==

Allow the removal of specific items from the ''Updates for extensions'' dialog.

As it currently stands if one unchecks an item the "Install" button becomes grayed out, leaving the users with only the "Cancel" option. This means that the next time OOo is launched, that the user is again prompted with "Updates to extensions are available" notice which is very annoying. Apple's OS X allows specific updates to be removed from consideration (i.e. not installed, but taken off the list), with users having the option to restore to the list of available updates those items they have previously removed.

== Add a multiple clipboard ==

A multiple clipboard is very convenient while write a long article. (I mean add a multiple copy and paste buffer, like MS Office word).
:second that.--[[User:Viceroy321|Viceroy321]] 13:49, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

== Changing the (display-)order of columns ==

It is far too complicated (possible at all?) to alter the ordering (I mean display-order eg. A,B,C -> C,A,B) of the columns in calc. This should be an easy to do task! Swapping the data of two columns does work sometimes, but requires creating a new column, cutting, pasting, and deleting of the old column - too complicated and creates problems with macros I assume (?)...

== Keep a row or a column visible ==

Sometimes you need to scan a spreadsheet but need to know what are the values of one row
or column, for example because it identifies the information on the columns or rows. Or because
you want to check, lets say, the data on rows 5 and 30 with the in the corresponding columns of the other rows.

Of course, you can hide the lines or columns that don't interest to you. But every time you move to another part of the spreadsheet you may need to re-hide the lines or columns.

It would be useful if when we right-click on a row number we had an option to "Keep it visible". A copy of the lines so selected would be kept above all other lines, may be with a different color to stress that they are a copy. These lines would be kept there, regardless were we go in the spreadsheet, making it much easier to compare them with other lines in the spreadsheet. A similar feature could be implemented for the columns.

== AUTOSAVE ==

Search 'Autosave' on your favorite search engine and you will see real writers want it.

It should save every word. Time based systems may lose a few paragraphs.

It may be a resource hog but it should be an option. Just warn the user.

It would definitely give OO and advantage over MS Word. they do not have this feature.

== Competitive Parity ==
# Increase/Decrease Font Size proportionally for whole text block.
#* There are two aspects of this. The basic aspect is to have commands that scale fonts for indented lists proportionally. Everything gets bigger or smaller. The other is to use this automatically to decrease all text size proportionally when adding another list item makes the list exceed the text box dimensions.
# Insert… Table in Impress
#* This would pop up a dialog to specify rows, columns, width (pixels/percent/auto) and then lay the table as an element of the page. Writer already supports tables like this.
#* This is being addressed as part of the accessibility work in ODF/ODP - Details to be published shortly.

== Button to enable/disable all "smart" features ==
This could be a button, much like and next to the AutoSpellcheck button, which in one click enables/disables all smart features.

I can't say how often I struggle with OpenOffice (or MS Word for that matter) being too smart - doing lists, numbering, applying formatting, creating hyperlinks when all I want is for it to do what I ask it to do - create lists when I select so, create hyperlinks when I tell it to. Sometimes, however it is good to utilize the automatic stuff as you can work with them when you know how they work.

What I propose is a button, much like the spell-check underlining button (which is by default visible in the toolbar) and which enables and disables all these "smart" features - all in one click. It could be called "WritingAids" (as where you can control this settings). It could also be automatically recommended to the user when OpenOffice automatically applies some formatting and the user undoes this, say the user writes a web-address presses space and the hyperlink is created and then the user undoes this thing.
:I very much second that. Smart features that (wrongly) second-guess what you do is perhaps the most annoying feature of OO.o--[[User:Viceroy321|Viceroy321]] 13:50, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

== Creative Commons ==
Nathan Yergler describes here http://wiki.creativecommons.org/OpenOfficeOrg_Addin, requirements and ideas for embedding Creative Commons license information in ODF documents. Malte Timmermann and Laurent Godard have described on the mailing list how this can be done as a component, perhaps using [[PyUNO]].

'''Looking for a volunteer!''''. Malte & Laurent will help and mentor.
::I think there is no reason to restrict that to CC. Make this an open container with several common licenses in there by default, as well as a standardised way to add licenses later.--[[User:Viceroy321|Viceroy321]] 13:51, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

== Charts ==

Integrate [http://www.jfree.org/ JFree]?

[[Category:Features]]

== Text & Formatting Control ==

1) When one links to another document, such as through a section, it's fine if another openoffice file; it also works with HTML...but if there is CSS or .js files then these aren't applied or displayed. The advantage, then, of linking is lost; and X/HTML + CSS/.js is incredibly useful for doing things that word-processors and other file formats just don't want to. It's also useful to be able to do markup for one body of text, as well as uniformly controlling the text and its styles, fonts, etc. across many different documents, for online work, as well as then being able to import that through linking and finish formatting for printing and/or book work. Though openoffice has its own styles features, it would be advantageous and very useful to support css and .js so that if those documents change, then the appearance when opened in a linked doc changes.

2) In word processors one can subscript a word, then superscript the next, but cannot place these words below and above one another; I've been trying to figure-out how to do this, and I bet it would be possible with a formatting hack in the XML. It would be extremely welcome to have this ability through a feature in the program, especially for those who work on interlinear texts and such, (and people who do so actually post different questions to the mailing list at times). For now, that's all.

'''Footnotes'''
3) I (and others) have the complain that the footnotes generated are inflexible; for instance, one cannot reposition the box to be a column, or at the sides of text (references, annotations, and etc.) at all. This should be possible with the XML underlying the docs, so why not in the program? (forum examples: [http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=51986 bible project], http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=discuss&msgNo=55452)

4) Unfortunately widely-known, probably easily-fixed, bugs in OOo seem never to get fixed for being "low" priority; many of which, however, are not. Here's a feature request in just such a position. When footnotes are created OpenOffice doesn't seem to have the capability of putting them on one line, but always starts a new line. But in academia some style manuals DEMAND single lines vs. using half the page for something so stupid. This "little" thing, whether bug, feature, or "request", can stop adoption in its tracks: and universities with a deal on software from Microsoft (and which offer students those deals) aren't opt for OpenOffice when those situations of styles arise; though I might be quite wrong since Word might not even be considered, but instead someone might opt for LaTex, but I'm guessing average Joe doesn't want to do that (for example, I study bio, and don't wish to spend tons of time in XML hacking). (forum examples: [http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=53603 1], [http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=46374&highlight=footnotes 2], etc.)

5) Another footnotes issue is that it appears impossible to insert a footnote inside a frame with text. ?

6) A good suggestion concerning multiple notes by a person is found here: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=17479 from which I excerpt a quote:

"I have a long document with over 200 footnotes (endnotes). Now, I have references in the text body like this:
... by Jorgenson et al. [1,2,3,4,5,6,7] ....

What I would like to have is:
... by Jorgenson et al. [1-7] ... "

== Formula Entry in Writer ==
Entering formulas in Writer may well have been ahead of its time and easy compared to alternatives a few years back, as many have claimed, but it is not well behind MS Office. MS Office 2007 has a simple, straightforward GUI for formula entry. Admittedly, the inherent complexities of formula entry still require a modicum of technical attention, but MS Office makes it simple enough that a completely inexperienced user could enter a moderately involved formula within a few minutes without any reference to help files. On the other hand, entering a formula in Writer, as it is currently implemented, requires familiarity with a rather technical entry syntax that is esoteric by comparison.

For myself, this is literally a "deal killer"; I would likely use OpenOffice dominantly or exclusively but for this one missing feature. Being a science major, I have to enter many formulas on a daily basis, often while listening to other important details of a lecture. It is simply not feasible to use OpenOffice in this context.

== Liberation Fonts ==
OpenOffice should install the Liberation Fonts and use them by default, since Arial, Courier and Times New Roman aren't "free" fonts.
::Yes. There are quite a number of free fonts out there, and OO.o is a great way of promoting their use. I believe some great fonts currently being freeware could also be made FOSS, if someone from OO.o would approach the authors. Having your font included as a default in a major office package is quite an incentive.--[[User:Viceroy321|Viceroy321]] 13:54, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

== File Associations ==
The latest version doesn't seem to support registering OpenOffice as the default program for MS Office documents and whatnot. There should be something in the install screen and preferences for this.

== Writer Table Formulas and Code/Macros==
I would really like to see table formulas in OpenOffice.org Writer improved so that they support all the same functions as cell formulas in Calc. I would really like to be able to use table formulas in Writer to make "smart" templates that can fill in parts of a document based on other information that has been entered.

An excellent extension of this idea would be better support for macros or code behind a document, similar to what Office supports where there are events and you can write functions to react to them and do useful work on the document. For example, I should be able to put a textbox on a document and an event should be fired when someone has typed in the textbox. Then my code could react to what was typed by changing values elsewhere in the document.

== Save embedded objects==
In the office I have to struggle with plenty of nasty Microsoft Office documents that tend to have many embedded file (zip files, wireshark traces, pdf files, other Office files...). I can open them whenever they are Office files themselves or plain text, but not otherwise. It would be great to have a right-click-and-save option in OpenOffice to be able to keep those files and open them latter with our chosen application.

== text in the margins ==
[[Image:Margin-text.png|thumb]]
well, the image says it all, really. i really would like to be able to add text into the margins, paragraph-wise, in order to give a quick summary of what is written in the paragraph. many books do this and it usually is a big time-saver when searching for a specific item in the text.--[[User:Viceroy321|Viceroy321]] 14:04, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

== headers/footers outside of page margins==
i would really like to see the possibility of entering negative numbers into "page style" > "header" (or "footer") > "left margin" (or "right margin"), so i can make my headers and footers wider than the page itself. my current workaround of just giving all the paragraphs an additional margin is not really the best solution.--[[User:Viceroy321|Viceroy321]] 14:04, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

== double lines in draw ==
i want a double (and triple) line in OO.o Draw.--[[User:Viceroy321|Viceroy321]] 18:00, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

=="inline" paragraphs==
i know this sounds a bit weird, but i want a paragraph style that makes it behave as if it wasn't a paragraph. CSS has "display: block;" and "display: inline;" and you can apply this to everything. something like that. Use case: In my table of contents i only want to display the first three levels as separate lines. everything below that, should just be a list "topicA (3), topicB (4), topicC (6), topicD (9),...." --[[User:Viceroy321|Viceroy321]] 18:04, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

== Ligatures, small caps & subscripts, superscripts ==
I’d like to request some more advanced font abilities. First: to add support for ligatures (some fonts look weird without using them), you know, ﬁ, ﬂ – everything the font supports. Second: to support true small capitals, if the font contains them. A button (like bold, italic) would be nice. Third: subscripts & superscripts, if scaled from the original numbers, look often too weak. If the font has its own characters for that, ti would be nice to utilize it. --[[User:Tomas.keb|Tomas.keb]] 12:27, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

== Open Recent interface improvement ==
I would like to see a drop down arrow similar to the one next to the "new document" icon on the toolbar to be added next to the "open document" icon on the toolbar that would bring up a list of all of the files in the "Recent Documents" list. I've seen this on some other applications, and it is a very efficient way of opening recent documents.--[[User:Melkevizth|Melkevizth]] 20:38, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

== Progress bar while updating the main document ==
We are working on a OOo Writer main document which includes over 300 sub-documents. The whole document is over 600 pages and 500 graphics. Opening the main document updates the links to all the included documents which takes several minutes, and OOo just show an empty window with a hourglass cursor. Having a nice progress bar would make it much more clear, that OOo Writer is still working.

--[[User:Tam|Tam]] 11:37, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

== The Mother of All Feature Requests ==

There should be a way for people to go to openoffice.org and contribute to a fund for the features they want implemented. I think they might have a voting system, but next to the voting buttons there should be a "contribute to this feature" button. That would probably get a lot more contributions.
[[User:Amulekii|Amulekii]] 16:10, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

== Word count for Impress ==
OpenOffice Impress should have the same word count functionality as Writer has. It is needed when you translate presentations, for example. (Nowadays, copying text from many separate text boxes to Writer can be very tedious. As far as I know, MS Office has this feature.) --[[User:Filipec|Filipec]] 09:05, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

== Search and replace ==
The global replace should never scroll to the end of the document. This is important when translating large amounts of text.

== Scroll through Autocomplete possibilities in Writer ==
When I frequently use a long word in various inflections, such as challenged/challenging, I don't want to have autocomplete write challenged, then go back and delete the last two characters, then type 'ing'. It would be great to have a feature where one hotkey scrolls through all words in the list that currently match, and a second hotkey can be set up to send the choice.

== Provide full text formatting capabilities such as Strikethrough within cells ==
Currently one can only apply certain text formatting options e.g. Strikethrough to the entire cell contents. Provide the ability to strikethrough only selected text within a cell.

Log Mac meeting 24th November 2006

TJFrazier: del bad links to "1" and "2"

Return to [[Mac_meetings_November_2006]] ?

Nov 24 22:21:55 paveljanik so let's start the meeting?

Nov 24 22:22:04 ericb2 jamesmckenzie: thank you

Nov 24 22:22:06 ericb2 yes

Nov 24 22:22:30 ericb2 Point 1: Welcome new devs /Aqua News

Nov 24 22:22:59 ericb2 a new dev contacted us, via Martin Hollmichell

Nov 24 22:23:21 ericb2 his name is Florian Rueckert (if I'm not wrong )

Nov 24 22:23:36 ericb2 he wrote me he will come on IRC, maybe later

Nov 24 22:23:53 ericb2 I have no news for aqua version

Nov 24 22:25:22 ericb2 Point 2 ?

Nov 24 22:25:34 ericb2 Point 2: Ability to build ooo Aqua, such that it runs out of the box (Shaun)

Nov 24 22:25:50 shaunmcdonald ah yes

Nov 24 22:26:31 shaunmcdonald Currently with the X11 version ooo will build an install disc image that will be installable and workable
for an end user

Nov 24 22:27:00 shaunmcdonald this currently is not the case with Aqua as a script needs to be run once ooo is installed

Nov 24 22:27:20 shaunmcdonald I would like to see this script to be run prior to the packaging process

Nov 24 22:27:49 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: I think it shoould be possible to not run this script at all

Nov 24 22:28:07 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: what has to be modified is located into scp2 and desktop

Nov 24 22:28:19 tino ericb2: Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame. Benjamin Franklin

Nov 24 22:28:24 tino Sorry!

Nov 24 22:29:00 shaunmcdonald that way we can automate the process of build ooo aqua to give an end user an install disc that will
allow ooo aqua to be installed and used via a double click on the .app icon to start

Nov 24 22:29:16 * ericb2 searching Pavel's script

Nov 24 22:29:26 shaunmcdonald how we produce the end result, doesn't really matter

Nov 24 22:29:52 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: better do clean work

Nov 24 22:30:27 shaunmcdonald if another method is better, then go for it and do a different way

Nov 24 22:30:40 shaunmcdonald all I'm worried about is the end result

Nov 24 22:31:05 ericb2 got it

Nov 24 22:31:17 shaunmcdonald the bit in the middle of how we get there is not important as long as it does the job

Nov 24 22:31:28 shaunmcdonald if it does the job well, then even better

Nov 24 22:31:32 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: excepted one symbolic link, everything can be done easely

Nov 24 22:31:48 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: the point is do clean changes

Nov 24 22:32:16 paveljanik I think obr wants to work on this and he has something in his mind already

Nov 24 22:32:33 shaunmcdonald how quickly can it be done?

Nov 24 22:33:53 * shaunmcdonald is just looking for timescales

Nov 24 22:34:02 paveljanik shaunmcdonald: depends ;-) It must be done in a way that does not break X11

Nov 24 22:34:18 shaunmcdonald paveljanik: that is a very good point

Nov 24 22:34:30 ericb2 paveljanik: so, the best way is to modify the tree in scp2

Nov 24 22:34:31 shaunmcdonald paveljanik: it can't break other platforms either ;-)

Nov 24 22:36:22 ericb2 the second point is the libsalsystools

Nov 24 22:38:51 paveljanik let's ask obr if he can prepare some "analyze" of the problem for the meeting.

Nov 24 22:39:30 ericb2 the point is already scheduled, but obr didn't confirm yet. Who can ask him to confirm ?

Nov 24 22:39:39 tino A good point, can we ask about the agenda for the meeting next week ;)

Nov 24 22:39:45 tino ericb2: I ask him!

Nov 24 22:40:09 ericb2 tino: thank you :-)

Nov 24 22:40:21 tino ericb2: And he will at least attend on Saturday noon if I am not wrong

Nov 24 22:40:45 ericb2 tino: ok. We will adapt for him

Nov 24 22:41:30 ericb2 other questions for point 2 ? shaunmcdonald ?

Nov 24 22:42:13 shaunmcdonald ericb2: I think that is all that would need to be done to get aqua to work from a buildbot

Nov 24 22:42:46 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: ok. I think so too,and this is a good step forward

Nov 24 22:43:12 ericb2 next point ?

Nov 24 22:43:20 ericb2 Point 3: Hamburg meeting preparation 2nd_Mac_porters_meeting

Nov 24 22:43:34 shaunmcdonald http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/2nd_Mac_porters_meeting

Nov 24 22:43:42 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: thank you :-)

Nov 24 22:44:38 ericb2 since today, Kai did a very interesting change, providing a timing for the meeting

Nov 24 22:45:08 ericb2 what Kai proposed is :

Nov 24 22:45:26 ericb2 Saturday 10:00 - 12:00

Nov 24 22:45:46 ericb2 12:00 -13:00 Sessions

Nov 24 22:46:03 ericb2 13:00 - 19:00 -> to be completed

Nov 24 22:46:29 ericb2 I contacted Florian Heckl, who confirmed he will present a (short) session about Native FilePicker

Nov 24 22:47:12 ericb2 from my side, in sessions, I'll start the meeting with an introduction, and I'll continue with a second (short session
too ) about native controls implementation

Nov 24 22:47:32 ericb2 other sessions are from cloph

Nov 24 22:48:28 ericb2 I contacted Yvan Barthelemy too, and I'll probably present shortly where he is,and why he is stalled

Nov 24 22:48:31 shaunmcdonald ericb2: when is lunch?

Nov 24 22:48:54 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: no lunch We are geeks ;-)

Nov 24 22:49:52 ericb2 tino : I'l present a more precise timing tomorrow

Nov 24 22:50:21 ericb2 curently, I propose sessions from 12:00 to 14:00

Nov 24 22:50:25 tino ericb2: Ok, no problem

Nov 24 22:51:42 shaunmcdonald ybart: we're on point 3 just now

Nov 24 22:51:44 tino 1. Short intro of everybody and a short description of what he is currently doing in the Mac port

Nov 24 22:51:56 ybart shaunmcdonald: ok, thanks

Nov 24 22:52:50 shaunmcdonald tino: ahh, the usual ice breaker ;-)

Nov 24 22:52:59 tino 2. Definition of the most important work areas in order to get to an alpha version and maybe some rough
assignment who takes ownership of which area

Nov 24 22:53:25 ericb2 tino: that's exactly what I had in mind

Nov 24 22:54:02 tino 3. If there is some interest I could present something about OOo debugging (basic using of Mac OS X debugging
facilities like gdb, etc.)

Nov 24 22:54:38 tino 4. A short introduction of how effectively to use the testtool (together with the guru - Jogi)

Nov 24 22:56:24 ericb2 tino: I think maybe your 3. could become 4. and 3. would be : other important work areas like native filepicker,
drag and drop, printing, native controls, mainly

Nov 24 22:56:26 tino A challenging agenda in the light of the little time I have currently but I think I can prepare something

Nov 24 22:56:30 shaunmcdonald has there been any test with testtool and aqua builds?

Nov 24 22:56:51 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: not yet, fonts issue mainly

Nov 24 22:57:04 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: e.g. file extensions are not recognized

Nov 24 22:57:08 tino ericb2: I don mind about the sequence

Nov 24 22:57:13 ericb2 tino: ok

Nov 24 22:57:26 tino ericb2: But Jogi will only attend on Sunday

Nov 24 22:57:31 shaunmcdonald ericb2: ok

Nov 24 22:57:33 ericb2 tino: I just wanted to introduce the meeting with 1 and 2

Nov 24 22:58:03 ericb2 tino: if I remember correctly, Jogi and Oliver will attend on sunday, correct ?

Nov 24 22:58:05 * cloph notes that he is listed on the meeting in hamburg page, but I'll probably not be able to attend it

Nov 24 22:58:05 tino So the introduction of the testtool could only be on Sunday - if there is interest in this topic at all

Nov 24 22:58:21 ericb2 cloph: :-/

Nov 24 22:58:26 tino ericb2: No I think Oliver will attend on Saturday!

Nov 24 22:58:30 ericb2 cloph: money problem ?

Nov 24 22:58:43 ericb2 tino: sorry : s/sunday/saturday/

Nov 24 22:58:49 cloph ericb2: Yes...

Nov 24 22:59:29 ericb2 cloph: maybe we could help you ?

Nov 24 22:59:56 jamesmckenzie tino: I'm having problems with testtool and incorrect errors. This might need to be discussed at the
meeting, unfortunately, I will not be attending.

Nov 24 23:00:49 ericb2 jamesmckenzie: did you already contact Joerg Sievers ?

Nov 24 23:01:00 tino jamesmckenzie: Yes I know that there is still an issue with the testtool - its on my long list of todos :(

Nov 24 23:01:42 jamesmckenzie ericb2: Both Maho and I are encountering them. I am going to start filing issues so that they can be
tracked.

Nov 24 23:01:59 cloph Since I'm only a "builder" and no "coder", I don't really know whether I can be of much help anyway... The configure
changes are rather minimal and a IRC is more than enough to discuss this :-)

Nov 24 23:02:15 ericb2 cloph: we are a team

Nov 24 23:03:38 paveljanik cloph: but anyway: it is important - build experience for newcomers was terrible in the past. it is better now,
but...

Nov 24 23:03:46 paveljanik thanks for your work!

Nov 24 23:03:58 * cloph doesn't even have a laptop and bringing the G5 would be quite some hassle :-) ...

Nov 24 23:04:05 paveljanik so many Macs there and we can't you iChat? ;-)

Nov 24 23:04:14 paveljanik s/you/use/

Nov 24 23:04:59 tino I would be interested in what personal goals or wishes (of the outcome of the meeting) everybody has

Nov 24 23:05:50 tino If you could choose say 3 things what would you like to have as an outcome, achievement etc?

Nov 24 23:06:14 shaunmcdonald tino: I expressed my main one in Point 2 of the meeting

Nov 24 23:06:48 ericb2 a lot for me : meet us for true, discuss about point very difficult to explain by mail or IRC, show code, write ideas
behind code after discussed e.g. with ssa , find informations for font sallayout implementation , learn gdb using OpenOffice.org

Nov 24 23:07:09 ericb2 hear what is doing Florian Heckl

Nov 24 23:07:23 tino shaunmcdonald: You mean improve configuration ....?

Nov 24 23:07:48 shaunmcdonald tino: that's a different point, more what cloph is doing

Nov 24 23:08:09 cloph (if you have problems with configure on mac, just file an issue and assign to me)

Nov 24 23:08:31 tino shaunmcdonald: Please say which 2. you are refering then

Nov 24 23:08:57 shaunmcdonald tino: from the agenda: Point 2: Ability to build ooo Aqua, such that it runs out of the box (Shaun)

Nov 24 23:08:58 paveljanik cloph: This is what I call "word". Yes - we need to hear more similar sentences ;-)

Nov 24 23:09:15 cloph :-)

Nov 24 23:09:35 tino shaunmcdonald: Ok

Nov 24 23:10:57 * shaunmcdonald remembers that HEAD no longer compiles again :-( Log http://termite.go-oo.org/MacPort1/builds/
19/step-compile/0 error in build_instsetoo_native due to some undefined symbols

Nov 24 23:12:23 tino ericb2: Do you have examples for points difficult to explain by mail...?

Nov 24 23:13:10 ericb2 tino: yes. I started a discussion with ssa about vcl, and the need to show some code is often needed. Very difficult
in a mail

Nov 24 23:13:30 ericb2 tino: like doing tests in runtime

Nov 24 23:13:51 ericb2 tino: e.g. ssa does perfectly now salnativewidgets, since he wrote the specs

Nov 24 23:14:05 tino ericb2: So you would like ssa to explain more about the concepts, implementation etc. of vcl?

Nov 24 23:14:06 ericb2 tino: and some dark points could be discussed

Nov 24 23:14:23 * shaunmcdonald can't wait for Leopard iChat ;-)

Nov 24 23:14:31 paveljanik shaunmcdonald: how to look at the end of the log?

Nov 24 23:14:43 tino shaunmcdonald: why? Some new fancy features?

Nov 24 23:14:43 ericb2 tino: some points, yes : e.g. links between textboxes and combo/list boxes

Nov 24 23:14:48 shaunmcdonald paveljanik: scroll to the bottom

Nov 24 23:15:09 ericb2 tino: relation between text and controls looks not obvious either

Nov 24 23:15:16 paveljanik shaunmcdonald: scroll to the end of build log which is 20MB large? ;-)

Nov 24 23:15:32 tino ericb2: Does ssa about your wish so that he maybe has a chance for at least some minimal prep?

Nov 24 23:15:41 shaunmcdonald tino: if I remember correctly you can share screens/show presentations/slideshows with other chat
members

Nov 24 23:15:45 tino ericb2: Are your sure he will attend?

Nov 24 23:15:55 tino shaunmcdonald: wow

Nov 24 23:16:13 shaunmcdonald paveljanik: sorry there is an issue with buildbot not giving an issue with tail since more to the new one

Nov 24 23:16:32 ericb2 tino: he wrote me he will try to come. I can't tell you more

Nov 24 23:17:05 tino ericb2: I will ask him directly on monday

Nov 24 23:17:07 shaunmcdonald paveljanik: mikeleib is away this week so have left a message or two for him to fix the config errors
one his return

Nov 24 23:17:16 ericb2 tino: thank you very much

Nov 24 23:18:30 shaunmcdonald tino: http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/ichat.html

Nov 24 23:18:38 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: leopard

Nov 24 23:18:39 * shaunmcdonald called screen sharing

Nov 24 23:19:07 shaunmcdonald ericb2: yep should help with collaboration if someone needs to show you something

Nov 24 23:19:39 shaunmcdonald ericb2: if you have the router setup right, you could try a program called spy

Nov 24 23:19:40 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: indeed : direct discussion is the best way for such problems

Nov 24 23:19:44 tino So my most important wish for the meeting is to get an overview of where we really are with the port currently and
what needs to be done in which sequence in order to come to an alpha version - structuring the work a little bit which is one of the most
difficult things in any non-trivial project!

Nov 24 23:20:30 shaunmcdonald tino: that appears to sum up the objective fairly

Nov 24 23:20:34 paveljanik hmm, I can now delete what I wrote in the meantime :-)

Nov 24 23:20:45 tino Work which better to achieve IMO when direct communication and interaction is possible

Nov 24 23:21:03 paveljanik I want to add that if we divide the work into tasks, we can make smaller tasks which are easier finished...

Nov 24 23:21:20 tino paveljanik: 100% agreement

Nov 24 23:21:41 ericb2 what is important, is : find missing informations, e.g. Yvan told me about printing

Nov 24 23:21:49 tino paveljanik: This is even important from a psychological POV.

Nov 24 23:22:03 tino paveljanik: So you have more success experiences

Nov 24 23:22:22 tino instead of constantly seeing a huge amount of work at once

Nov 24 23:22:57 jamesmckenzie tino: +1 for the piece by piece approach.

Nov 24 23:23:12 ericb2 tino: yes, sure, but people having the knowledge

Nov 24 23:23:15 ericb2 ooops

Nov 24 23:23:20 tino We have to work hard to achiev that in order to maximize our productivity and reach our goal

Nov 24 23:23:21 ericb2 not finished: -)

Nov 24 23:23:37 shaunmcdonald http://82.41.64.110:3031/ for whoever was wondering about spy and seeing remote desktops live

Nov 24 23:24:38 shaunmcdonald there is even a live option ;-)

Nov 24 23:25:20 cloph shaunmcdonald: in a stamp-like size....

Nov 24 23:25:35 shaunmcdonald cloph: small?

Nov 24 23:25:43 cloph Why not use vnc?

Nov 24 23:25:46 cloph shaunmcdonald: yes..

Nov 24 23:26:09 ericb2 other questions, suggestions for this point, or can we continue with the next one ?

Nov 24 23:26:35 shaunmcdonald cloph: you can use a browser instead of a vnc client that might not work ;-)

Nov 24 23:26:54 cloph :-)

Nov 24 23:27:23 ericb2 next point ?

Nov 24 23:28:16 shaunmcdonald Point 4: Create a structure dedicated to Mac port to receive donations

Nov 24 23:28:52 ericb2 Yes. We discussed recently about the opportunity to create an association to receive founds

Nov 24 23:29:17 ericb2 they are a lot of reasons to receive money, and spend it

Nov 24 23:30:02 ericb2 We searched between several possibilities :

Nov 24 23:30:34 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: can you describe us your idea using Apple store link please ?

Nov 24 23:30:44 shaunmcdonald ericb2: ok

Nov 24 23:30:59 shaunmcdonald we could become an apple store affiliate

Nov 24 23:31:21 shaunmcdonald we would have a link via tradedoubler to the apple store

Nov 24 23:31:51 shaunmcdonald we would be able to earn about 2.5% of each sale generated through people using this link

Nov 24 23:32:17 shaunmcdonald someone can take 15 days to complete the sale for us to get the commision

Nov 24 23:32:41 shaunmcdonald the commission would then be paid monthly a month in arrears

Nov 24 23:33:01 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: you proposed this solution to Louis, and what was the answer ?

Nov 24 23:33:02 shaunmcdonald louis doesn't like the idea

Nov 24 23:33:16 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: did he propose something else ?

Nov 24 23:33:24 shaunmcdonald as it is a link to a commercial companies' web site

Nov 24 23:33:56 shaunmcdonald he had suggested putting a link to a market place, but that probably wouldn't gain us any revenue

Nov 24 23:34:09 ericb2 thank you shaunmcdonald

Nov 24 23:34:28 ericb2 another solution can be put a google bar on our own blogs

Nov 24 23:34:38 jamesmckenzie ericb2: Has anyone looked at paypal?

Nov 24 23:35:23 ericb2 jamesmckenzie: paypal without a structure to receive money, and without pay taxes is useless

Nov 24 23:35:58 ericb2 so a simple solution is to create an " association " , following french laws

Nov 24 23:36:06 Fredv78 Hi, I think that tradedoubler and google adsense would need a structure too

Nov 24 23:36:13 shaunmcdonald http://contributing.openoffice.org/donate.html

Nov 24 23:36:30 shaunmcdonald ooo already uses paypal

Nov 24 23:36:32 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: there is no transparency with that

Nov 24 23:37:25 Fredv78 If you want people to give 'for the mac porting' it isn't a solution

Nov 24 23:37:36 ericb2 Fredv78: agreed

Nov 24 23:37:43 shaunmcdonald currently there is no way to specify a specific part of the ooo project to donate money to

Nov 24 23:38:24 Fredv78 shaunmcdonald: I think that eric's idea of creating a special structure for that purpose is the solution

Nov 24 23:38:56 tino Lads it was a long day for me (attended the German XPDays today). I'leave now and prepare something for the
meeting tomorrow evening. I will also look at the agend again and add what we have discussed

Nov 24 23:38:59 tino CU

Nov 24 23:39:00 jamesmckenzie ericb2: We are recognized as a not-for profit enterprise are we not?

Nov 24 23:39:00 shaunmcdonald Fredv78: is there a problem with doing this, in terms of the rest of the ooo project?

Nov 24 23:39:18 ericb2 jamesmckenzie: the structure I have in mind will, yes

Nov 24 23:39:27 jamesmckenzie tino: Bye! I've written Oscar.

Nov 24 23:39:43 ericb2 tino: bye

Nov 24 23:39:48 tino bye!

Nov 24 23:39:51 jamesmckenzie ericb2: Great. I thought that is were we wanted to go.

Nov 24 23:39:53 Fredv78 jamesmckenzie: the french 'association' is a non-for-profit structure

Nov 24 23:40:09 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: currently, Louis disagrees

Nov 24 23:40:27 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: paveljanik too if I'm not wrong

Nov 24 23:40:28 shaunmcdonald ericb2: thought that might be the case ;-)

Nov 24 23:40:30 jamesmckenzie Fredv78: This is a good idea. However, how would we get monies from France to say the UK?

Nov 24 23:40:54 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: ;-)

Nov 24 23:41:15 ericb2 jamesmckenzie: I think paypal allows that

Nov 24 23:41:24 ericb2 jamesmckenzie: but we have to verify

Nov 24 23:41:25 shaunmcdonald jamesmckenzie: or even in the other direction

Nov 24 23:41:35 Fredv78 ericb2: Louis disagrees ? Arnt there same kind of structures for other projects ? I have native lang projects in
mind

Nov 24 23:42:00 shaunmcdonald ericb2: would the that be allowed in the association structure?

Nov 24 23:42:10 Fredv78 ericb2: pavel too ? do you know why ?

Nov 24 23:42:12 jamesmckenzie ericb2: The point I was trying to make is if the association exists in France, will the UK recognize it as well
as Slovakia?

Nov 24 23:42:31 ericb2 Fredv78: I think Pavel will answer you, he's present

Nov 24 23:43:16 ericb2 jamesmckenzie: I must verify, but we could find a way for non EU residents with Team e.V e.g.

Nov 24 23:43:49 ericb2 at all : don't believe we will be rich :-)

Nov 24 23:43:53 Fredv78 jamesmckenzie: It's easy to buy a mac or things with a visa CB

Nov 24 23:43:56 jamesmckenzie ericb2: Just thoughts...

Nov 24 23:44:16 ericb2 I need a vote

Nov 24 23:44:31 ericb2 who disagrees ?

Nov 24 23:44:47 jamesmckenzie Fredv78: But are there customs duties to pay if a product is bought in one country but delivered to
another? Not that I need a new computer, but several team members do.

Nov 24 23:45:09 shaunmcdonald jamesmckenzie: this doesn't apply within the EU

Nov 24 23:45:18 * ismael_ (n=ismael@acces0769.res.insa-lyon.fr) has joined #ooo_macport

Nov 24 23:45:29 jamesmckenzie ismael_: Welcome.

Nov 24 23:45:35 shaunmcdonald jamesmckenzie: what happens if the funds are sent to another country and the computer would be
bought there?

Nov 24 23:45:36 ericb2 jamesmckenzie: we could let the guy pay in his own country, and send him the exact amount ?

Nov 24 23:45:46 ismael_ hi all

Nov 24 23:45:51 ericb2 ismael_: hello

Nov 24 23:46:04 jamesmckenzie ericb2: What if the individual could not afford to pay for the system?

Nov 24 23:46:20 shaunmcdonald jamesmckenzie: would we have to pay tax on the money going abroad?

Nov 24 23:46:22 ericb2 jamesmckenzie: sorry. Can you be more precise ?

Nov 24 23:46:44 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: the solution is certainly not perfect

Nov 24 23:46:51 shaunmcdonald jamesmckenzie: we are paying him to buy the machine

Nov 24 23:46:53 Fredv78 jamesmckenzie: I think that today, the problem is that there is no structure at all so no money at all

Nov 24 23:47:01 jamesmckenzie ericb2: Ok. Shaun gave me the information I needed. What we could do is send the monies to the STORE
and have the person pick it up.

Nov 24 23:47:32 shaunmcdonald jamesmckenzie: would that work for online stores?

Nov 24 23:48:03 Fredv78 jamesmckenzie: as it is an international project, we could have to pay taxes depending of the structure
location, but it would occure wherever is the strucure

Nov 24 23:48:08 jamesmckenzie Fredv78: I'm aware of this. What I wanted to clarify is: Would we buy the machine, license it to the
project and then ship it, or would we pay for a machine that the person would retain?

Nov 24 23:48:28 jamesmckenzie shaunmcdonald: It should. It's cash....

Nov 24 23:49:21 ericb2 again, I need a vote : who disagrees ?

Nov 24 23:49:34 shaunmcdonald ericb2: what are we voting for?

Nov 24 23:50:05 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: I first wnat to know if a lot of people present disagree, and why

Nov 24 23:50:06 * shaunmcdonald just needs to clarify

Nov 24 23:50:09 jamesmckenzie ericb2: If the machine remains a part of the project and funds are independently handled (I liked the idea
of Sophie...) +1

Nov 24 23:50:17 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: later, We'll ask on mac@porting list

Nov 24 23:50:26 shaunmcdonald ericb2: disagree with what?

Nov 24 23:50:35 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: and prepare a project for this structure

Nov 24 23:50:48 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: e.g. I know Louis and Pavel disagree

Nov 24 23:51:03 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: other, I don't know. And I don't decide alone

Nov 24 23:51:11 * shaunmcdonald thinks he needs more information on the specifics of the options to be able to decide

Nov 24 23:51:39 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: the point is not to decide, the point is who disagrees

Nov 24 23:51:51 ericb2 and why

Nov 24 23:51:55 paveljanik if the project needs to solve this issue for one subproject, it has to solve it in general, not that many times
how many sub-projects we as an OOo project have.

Nov 24 23:52:15 paveljanik so yes, I disagree with solving this particular issue for Mac port only.

Nov 24 23:52:19 ericb2 paveljanik: it will take months

Nov 24 23:52:26 ericb2 maybe more

Nov 24 23:52:41 Fredv78 Sorry, I have to go now - don't know if my 'vote' should be taken in account -my build isn't enen finished- but
i agree the idea of a light funding structure dedicated to the mac porting project

Nov 24 23:52:46 paveljanik sure, but it must happen. Clean solution.

Nov 24 23:54:16 ericb2 paveljanik: and full transparency

Nov 24 23:54:24 jamesmckenzie paveljanik: I agree. We cannot do this for one project at a time. However, if we are taking in monies for
this project, we need to be able to segregate this from the general OOo monies and be able to show that we spent it in accordance with the
applicable laws. If those laws are those of the United States, we will have to keep books that show we DID not make or produce a profit.

Nov 24 23:56:23 shaunmcdonald could we take this to the community council? so that there would be a structure for donating to
specific sub-projects

Nov 24 23:57:16 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: this is IMHO already refused

Nov 24 23:57:40 shaunmcdonald ericb2: is there a public record of this?

Nov 24 23:57:46 shaunmcdonald being refused

Nov 24 23:57:52 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: hmm

Nov 24 23:58:07 paveljanik I do not think it was ever refused.

Nov 24 23:58:19 ericb2 paveljanik: create a structure for Mac port ?

Nov 24 23:58:59 ericb2 paveljanik: if so, I'm very surprised

Nov 24 23:59:04 Fredv78 In my mind, to be efficient, we need to be fast and 'light'> The overall OOo project doesn't have a structure
dedicated to give to a particular project, so it woul'd be long and difficult to change something this way - according to me

Nov 24 23:59:12 Fredv78 Good night to all and thank you for all that you do

Nov 24 23:59:25 ericb2 Fredv78: cu !

Nov 24 23:59:42 * Fredv78 (n=Fred@82.228.21.87) has left #ooo_macport

Nov 25 00:01:13 ericb2 Next point ?

Nov 25 00:01:24 ericb2 Point 5: TestTool scripts - create a new script in CVS for Mac OS X - See [1] [2] (James & Shaun)

Nov 25 00:01:41 ericb2 1 is : http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=60281

Nov 25 00:01:46 shaunmcdonald ericb2: there has been an additon to one of the issues

Nov 25 00:01:48 IZBot issue 60281: qa DEFECT NEW testtool script doesn't run correctly on Mac OS X

Nov 25 00:01:53 ericb2 2 is : http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=70761

Nov 25 00:01:59 IZBot issue 70761: qa DEFECT NEW ooo_releasetest.sh doesn't work on MacOSX

Nov 25 00:02:24 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: what is the exact problem ? The script does not work ?

Nov 25 00:02:26 shaunmcdonald on issue 70762 by andreschnabel

Nov 25 00:02:30 IZBot framework DEFECT UNCONFIRMED Openoffice crashes while opening documents if temp folder is a junction
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=70762

Nov 25 00:02:34 shaunmcdonald ericb2: that's the idea

Nov 25 00:02:56 shaunmcdonald but we make it work on the mac and it doesn't work on other platforms such as linux

Nov 25 00:03:05 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: if I remember corectly, andre wrote the initial script, right ?

Nov 25 00:03:38 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: and you mean a specific mac script. Which shell is used ? bash ? perl ?

Nov 25 00:03:45 jamesmckenzie ericb2: If I apply the fixes, testtool will run. However several of the .bas scripts throw incorrect errors. I
have contacted Andre...

Nov 25 00:03:49 shaunmcdonald andreschnabel said that he would try to mac a non platform specific one, or if that fails create a mac
specific one in CVS

Nov 25 00:04:07 shaunmcdonald ericb2: I don't know who created it

Nov 25 00:04:17 ericb2 jamesmckenzie: ah, because of the contents, e.g. end of lines or so ?

Nov 25 00:04:19 shaunmcdonald ericb2: it is bash or sh

Nov 25 00:04:26 jamesmckenzie that is except 70762. I don't have a second machine to do the test with.

Nov 25 00:04:28 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: should work on Mac OS X

Nov 25 00:05:10 jamesmckenzie ericb2: I will send you my b_updt.res file so you can read through it. The MySQL ODBC test fails and
LDAP is not supported.

Nov 25 00:06:09 jamesmckenzie ericb2: You will need testtool or a reader to go through it. There were 9 errors and 32 warnings, none
are valid.

Nov 25 00:06:21 ericb2 jamesmckenzie: what does not work, MySQL, or the testtool ? ( i.e. for LDAP )

Nov 25 00:06:21 shaunmcdonald ericb2: see http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=60281 and comment by tbo on Apr 13
that explains one of the main problems that causes cross-platform incompatibility

Nov 25 00:06:25 IZBot issue 60281: qa DEFECT NEW testtool script doesn't run correctly on Mac OS X

Nov 25 00:07:47 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: strange ..

Nov 25 00:07:56 jamesmckenzie ericb2: LDAP is not supported for a database type on the Mac. Testtool detects MySQL ODBC as a non
valid type, but it is there. It may require installation of the appropriate driver and ODBC is not available for the Intel (someone want to
build it?)

Nov 25 00:08:33 shaunmcdonald ericb2: yep, which is why I'm suggesting a separate script for the mac as a fast workaround

Nov 25 00:09:09 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: jamesmckenzie can you please wrdescribe everything on the dedicated wiki page ? I created one a
day for QA ? This way , we'll be abel to list all issue relative to testtool

Nov 25 00:09:20 jamesmckenzie ericb2: The ooo_releasetest.sh, when modified per 70761, works.

Nov 25 00:09:21 shaunmcdonald ericb2: it appears that andre would be happy with this if there is no cross platform method

Nov 25 00:09:34 jamesmckenzie ericb2: URL?

Nov 25 00:10:14 ericb2 jamesmckenzie: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_%28_X11%29_Quality_Assurance

Nov 25 00:10:55 ericb2 jamesmckenzie: maybe add a point in http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/
List_of_OpenOffice.org_Mac_OS_X_issues_and_problems too

Nov 25 00:11:05 jamesmckenzie ericb2: Got it. I can put the information in the appropriate places. I think that I already worked on this
page.

Nov 25 00:11:06 * shaunmcdonald thinks we could use a if (os==mac) do ... else ... end if for bits that are platform specific

Nov 25 00:11:16 * ericb2 too

Nov 25 00:12:31 jamesmckenzie shaunmcdonald: I can look at the scripts. It appears they will need a major rework for the next version of
testtool, due out in January and will go production in February.

Nov 25 00:12:43 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: cut does have a lot of options

Nov 25 00:14:09 * shaunmcdonald sees that the issue that has a patch that works on mac, only has 3 platform specific bits

Nov 25 00:14:25 jamesmckenzie ericb2: ???? (cut)...

Nov 25 00:15:08 ericb2 jamesmckenzie: the command cut

Nov 25 00:15:34 ericb2 e.g : cut -d" " -f 1,3 ..etc

Nov 25 00:16:00 jamesmckenzie ericb2: That's the truth. cut is very flexible but you have to be careful not to cut too much B-)

Nov 25 00:17:13 ericb2 jamesmckenzie: what is the plan for coming 2.1 ?

Nov 25 00:17:42 * jamesmckenzie downloading m4 for the PPC for testtool runs

Nov 25 00:17:43 ericb2 jamesmckenzie: will TCM be used and manual tests done or ?

Nov 25 00:18:19 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: yes, the patch is simply not complete , if I'm not wrong

Nov 25 00:18:20 cloph m4? - but m5 is already available, isn't it?

Nov 25 00:18:32 jamesmckenzie ericb2: TCM includes automated tests. The effort is to see if the automated tests can replace the manual
tests. there are 155 L10N tests alone.

Nov 25 00:18:33 ericb2 cloph: m5 :-)

Nov 25 00:19:06 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: is the script used on windows too ?

Nov 25 00:19:10 jamesmckenzie cloph: rc1 is not complete yet. Plus, this is to see if the problems with testtool on the Intel repeat on the
PPC.

Nov 25 00:19:20 ericb2 shaunmcdonald: I know uname would help

Nov 25 00:19:56 * jamesmckenzie uname -s ==Darwin

Nov 25 00:20:24 ericb2 jamesmckenzie: works on Solaris and Linux, but I'm not sure on Windows

Nov 25 00:20:43 ericb2 jamesmckenzie: on FreeBSD too

Nov 25 00:20:48 jamesmckenzie uname will not work on Windows. But the scripts for Windows uses its own scripts.

Nov 25 00:21:13 ismael_ bye all

Nov 25 00:21:16 ericb2 jamesmckenzie: you ean they are separated ? So no problem with an if

Nov 25 00:21:26 ericb2 ismael_: bye. I'll post the complete log

Nov 25 00:21:36 jamesmckenzie ismael_: bye. Talk to you later.

Nov 25 00:21:45 ismael_ ericb2: and me, i will read it

Nov 25 00:22:23 ericb2 ismael_: ;-)

Nov 25 00:22:43 * ismael_ has quit ()

Nov 25 00:22:59 jamesmckenzie ericb2: Yes, there are separate directories for the Windows and UNIX full and release scripts. The basic
scripts (.bas) and included (.inc) files only address the usage of OpenOffice.org. I've run testtool on Windows as well as Mac OS X.

Nov 25 00:23:33 ericb2 jamesmckenzie: is the script only , responsive of the issue ?

Nov 25 00:24:37 * shaunmcdonald is currently taking a look at the script as used for 2.1, with the special checkout tag

Nov 25 00:25:13 jamesmckenzie ericb2: What the scripts do is run a full functional test or a release test set. They take about a full day to
run. Don't plan on using that system until the tests are complete. The problem is that the tests do not run properly on the Mac. I am
going to check to see if the problem is only on the Intel Mac or both platforms.

Nov 25 00:26:59 ericb2 jamesmckenzie: understood. So we need to repeat the test on several machines, for fiability

Nov 25 00:28:09 ericb2 ok, other points ?

Nov 25 00:30:42 ericb2 Last Point : Date and Time of the next meeting (Due to the Hamburg Meeting, this will not be 1 December 2006,
so probably 8 December 2006.)

Nov 25 00:31:06 ericb2 I propose next meeting on 8th December same hour

Nov 25 00:31:32 ericb2 anyone around ?

Nov 25 00:32:54 ericb2 ok, thanks a lot, and good night everyone

Talk:Wiki maintenance plan

2012-12-22T21:47:40Z

TJFrazier: Requesting "CheckUser" extension

The state wiki require some maintenance and an urgent upgrade. This page documents what needs to be done, and what should be done. There is a thread on dev (Wiki maintenance) where the decisions are made.

At the moment we have the following work list:

* Change LocalSettings.php to close for "create user" '''DONE'''
* Update UA- code for google-analyics '''DONE'''
* open for "create page" again '''DONE'''
* Check "nofollow" setting, to be sure it's on (True) '''DONE, added $wgNoFollowDomainExceptions and $wgNoFollowNsExceptions'''
* remove accounts older than a year WITHOUT any contributions '''DONE, removed 32527 accounts'''
* remove all accounts from the time of the spam period '''DONE, removed 65743 accounts'''
* testwiki.openoffice.org in DNS/ooo-wiki '''DONE, .htaccess is in place (wikitest/wikitest)

* testwiki, oooSkin is not working '''DONE'''
* testwiki, find new extensions: '''DONE'''
** extension FCKeditor is no longer supported and does not work (I am looking for a replacement)
** extension GoogleCoop does not work, and does not exist on mediawiki (thanks to Clayton I got a hint where to find it)
** extension LabeledSectionTransclusion does not offer a compat mode (needed due to DPL2 usage)
** extension MultiUpload no longer supported (there are no obvious replacement, I have to dig deeper)
** extension OOoIDLtags does not work (our own development, I need to change some core calls...wish I was a PHP specialist)
** extension PasswordReset no longer supported and does not work (not really needed so I will just remove it)
** extension StringFunctions no longer supported and are partly integrated in parserFunctions (We have to test that what we use is available)
** extension ToggleDisplay no longer supported, should be core functionality (we have to test that what we use is available)
* Convert all pages to UTF8 (mysql), '''DONE'''
** most pages are defined as latin1, but some have UTF8 content, this will not work after an update.
:: The fix for this is to pass the tables manually through the conversion process using "binary" as an intermediary from Latin1 to UTF-8. Note though that this only "needs" to be done on tables that are incorrectly types as Latin1 but actually contain UTF-8 data. Not all tables in the OOoWiki dB have this issue.
UPDATE table_name SET col_name = CONVERT(CONVERT(CONVERT(col_name USING latin1) USING binary) USING utf8);
:: Another way to do this (and possibly a more effective solution since it can be done during the MWiki upgrade) is:
mysqldump -h DB_HOST -u DB_USER -p DB_PASSWORD --opt --quote-names --skip-set-charset --default-character-set=latin1 DB_NAME > DB_NAME-dump.sql
mysql -h DB_HOST -u DB_USER -p DB_PASSWORD --default-character-set=utf8 DB_NAME < DB_NAME-dump.sql
:: (source: http://blog.hno3.org/2010/04/22/fixing-double-encoded-utf-8-data-in-mysql/ )
* Discuss on whether to add anti-spam measures for the currenct MW version. '''DONE'''
** Search for extension to prevent spammers create user '''DONE'''
* open for create user '''DONE'''
** this task caused concern, so it will be discussed again
** Decide on anti-spam measures for current MW version, install and set them, ''then'' open for create user.
* have people testing test '''DONE'''
* find solution to "math" extension '''DONE'''
* all changes are properly documented in SVN '''DONE'''
* Install [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/CheckUser CheckUser] extension to fight spammers.<br />

* Clean database, for "deleted" pages, unused files.
* repair "broken redirect", "double redirect", "non categorized pages"
* Copy production db, and upgrade it
* copy test to production.
* Assemble all files and inform community/infra about further action

TJFrazier: /* Redlinks */ new section

==Top level category==
Hi, Adailton,

First, thanks a lot for all the maintenance work you have been doing; it's good stuff.

You are correct in observing that the [[:Category:MainIndex]] will remain un-categorized, but such is the fate of the topmost category! It's the same on Wikipedia, where Category:Contents belongs to no category.

The idea here is to prevent category-linkage loops, to avoid confusing the bots. These would normally process categories recursively. If you've done any recursive programming, you can see how a closed loop could lead to infinite recursion.

Please keep up the good work! --[[User:TJFrazier|TJ]] ([[User_talk:TJFrazier|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/TJFrazier|Contribs]]) 14:38, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

== Template HowTos ==

If you edit [[Documentation/How_Tos]] you will see that most of the HowTo entries are gathered automatically by the <nowiki><DPL></nowiki> feature, which lists all the pages in a category. However, the Templates HowTos are not automated, and they should be. This means going to each entry, changing the category from doc/howto to doc/howto/templates, then creating that category (and categorizing it in doc/howto). Then add the automatic stuff to use the new category. There are some (at least one) pages in [[:Category:Templates]] that should be included, too.

If any of this sounds like something you'd like to do, please do. Otherwise, I'll plod along at it. --[[User:TJFrazier|TJ]] ([[User_talk:TJFrazier|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/TJFrazier|Contribs]]) 21:30, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Documentation/FAQ/General/How to know if a user is subscribed to a mailing list

2012-12-11T10:06:21Z

TJFrazier: update old ML address for graduation to TLP, + l.c.e.

{{DISPLAYTITLE:How to know if a user is subscribed to a mailing list}}

<section begin="question" />'''How to know if a user is subscribed to a mailing list'''<section end="question" />

<section begin="answer" />On the mailing lists, all Apache OpenOffice users are allowed to post their questions. However, if a user is not subscribed to the list, the user will not see any of the answers that are returned to the list only.<br>

So it may be a good idea to include the user's address as a cc (carbon copy) in the answer. (There are discussions whether to do this or not, whether to allow or forbid unsubscribed users to post, and so on, but that is not the topic of this FAQ)<br>

If you want to include the unsubscribed user address as a cc, you need to know which user is not subscribed.<br>

The mailing list adds a special header to the posts of unsubscribed users. It goes like this for the users list:<br>

Delivered-to: moderator for users@openoffice.apache.org

You can use this information to add a filter that scans the mail header and flags it with a special tag. Using Thunderbird mail reader, you can flag all posts of unsubscribed users to appear in a blue color, for example.

The following steps are valid for Thunderbird 15.0.1 on Windows.

<span style="background-color: #FF0000">'''CAUTION:''' The steps are valid, but due to a [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678322 bug in Tbird] the filter won't find or flag the messages.</span>

#In Thunderbird, choose Tools - Message Filters.
#Click New to create a new filter.
#Enter a name for the new filter, for example "not subscribed".
#Next, you would assemble a filter line that says "If the field Delivered-to contains the text "moderator" then tag the message as "To Do" (which would turn it blue). Unfortunately, the field Delivered-to doesn't exist in the initial list. We need to add it to the list first:
#Open the first drop-down list and select Customize.
#In the Customize Headers dialog, enter the Delivered-to header and click Add, then OK.
#Now you can select Delivered-to. Enter the word moderator to the text box at the right.
#Down at "Perform these actions", select Tag Message, then select To Do from the next drop-down list.

Now all messages by users that are not subscribed will be shown in blue. If you want to answer their question, you can add their address as cc.

TJFrazier: /* Sysop */ new section

==Tbird FAQ==
Hi, KNMcKenna,

Thanks for updating the "moderated ML" FAQ, but ... AFAIK, Tbird hasn't fixed the [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678322 bug]. When there are two Delivered-To tags, Tb will only see the first one; hence, the filtering will usually fail.

:Hi TJFrazier;

:Sorry about that. I was aware of the bug, but I thought it only applied to Tbird as an NNTP news reader (that is how I read the lists whenever possible). Would it be better to mark it as obsolete, or add some cautionary wording about Tbird?

:[[User:KNMcKenna|KNMcKenna]] 14:16, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Keith

Excuse my language, but not mastered the English language.
