openoffice|ooffice|office instead soffice?
Hi
I remember that some time ago started a discuss about the change of
binary name "soffice" (and its others names - scalc, sdraw, etc) by
other that not *s*office, and I not remember the "final of this
novel".
Is possible? IMO, i (as newbie) haven't idea. Is interesting? IMHO, is
necessary!
Some good soul can give me a light about this question? ;-)
Best,
Claudio

Thanks Andrea and RGB.
I think that the RGB's suggestion is the better approach for us after
4.0 release, including his suggestion to use "aoo" (very short!). ;-)
Anyway, i see that is a consensus this question and that need attention soon.

Claudio

If legacy procedures are the main problem, what about a "transition
period"? If I understand it right, the "aliases" are just scripts that run
the right binary, is it possible to have more than one alias? If yes, let's
say that during 4.x life cycle we have "soffice" AND "aoo", both launching
the program, and then on 5.0 we drop "soffice". Does something like that
makes sense or is just more a trouble than a solution?

It is a fact that "soffice" has been outdated for about 10 years. But
previous discussions on the topics showed that, while it would be
feasible to rename the alias, there are documented procedures that still
rely on the name "soffice" when they must launch/connect to OpenOffice.
I can't be more precise at the moment, but if you need further details I
may dig a bit.

Andrea.
