Dear Mr. Rob,

1. Just have a look at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com
where new ideas for Ubuntu is discussed. Is there a similar facility for
AOO?

2. You have already seen this
http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/contributor/vkadal/ideas/

AOO can be split into its parts like the Word Processor, Spreadsheet and
Impress. Not every body uses all the three. So users can upgrade the
portion office suite, the want to upgrade instead of complete upgrade.
Check the posibilty of implementing this

With Warm Regards

Hi Kadal,
I'm glad you are contributing! But I do want to alert you to a few things that you may have missed. First, this list, like virtually all the Apache OpenOffice lists, is a public list. For that reason, we urge caution when putting out private information, like phone numbers (hint).

Second, this, like other lists, is a community lists: it's a mail list that is read and responded to by many, not just any one single individual, though it may seem that way at times :-)

The custom--not codified but pretty much accepted--is that if a person is named, then others on the list who could very ably reply, don't; they wait until the named person replies.

So, to keep the conversation expanded and active, the better tactic is to use:

* All
* [Name], et al., or [Name], etc. or [Name], *
or just, what most of us end up using, "Hi"

Cheers and welcome again,

Louis

We don't have our own system for doing this, but we used something
called Google Moderator to collect and rate ideas last year.

You can see here the 944 ideas from 1,312 users:

When we did our brainstorming the idea of having smaller, incremental
update installs came up as well.   It is being investigated.  One
complexity is that there are many upgrade paths.  You can upgrade from
version 3.4.1 to 4.0, but also 3.4.0 to 4.0 or even 3.3 or 3.2 to 4.0.
 So if we do an incremental update, we might want to focus on the most
common upgrade path, likely an upgrade from the immediate predecessor
version.
