Thanks for the note. Yes, it does sound that different tools are needed depending on the field of study. There should almost be a mailist dedicated to LibO use for academia where we could collect the data needed to make LibO a great tool for academia
This list comes from my experience (When I wrote my dissertation in the humanities), I hope this is appropriate: * Bibliographic Tools. http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Bibliographic/OOoBib_Functional_Requirements http://openoffice.2283327.n4.nabble.com/JabRef-OpenOffice-integration-td2813042.html#a2813042 In addition to the bibliography tools. * Improvements to the Alphabetical Indexes. http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/71959/Alphabetical_Index.pdf Moreover, many contracts require that authors act as their own indexers. e.g. http://www.cambridge.org/aus/information/aca_index.htm * Improvements to the footnotes. e.g. http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=23997 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=29680 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=18326 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=13308 http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=62243 * Improvements to the Table of Contents. e.g. http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=27377 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=90841 * "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style" e.g. http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=46757 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=34199 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=43220 This option is very popular with users of MsWord. * The Holy Grail of the writers: Outline View. http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3959 What is your opinion?
