[tdf-discuss] Are we in the right way?

Hi Everyone,

I want only to open a positive (constructive) talk, discuss.

I think we all have to point to quality by the following means:

- all documents (Open Documents, PDFs or real print) yielded by 
LibreOffice have to be near perfection;

- priority bugs have to be valuated with the previous mean in mind;

- all LibreOffice generated documents all over the world are the sign 
and the face of our quality;

- if wrong documents are linked to LibreOffice in People's mind we are 
putting our time and efforts away through the window;

- only with document quality, we will be growing at enterprise side in 
trust, confidence and reliance too;

- here in Italy, PDF/A-1a file format, e.g., is the standard way (file 
format) to give back information to Public Administrations (e.g. Central 
Trade Offices, ...): if professionals or enterprise cannot do that with 
LibreOffice they don't adopt it. Full stop. And we couldn't work with 
them to grow in LibreOffice adoption and, of course, TDF doesn't grow 
all over the minds, in the streets, on many countries and in the related 
healthy and sound business;

- I'm seeing many regressions in these days that I thought have been 
definitively fixed, many regarding "document quality": I think it isn't 
enough to fix it again, but we ought to ask ourselves why these 
regressions occur, what are we mistaking, what could we improving in the 
whole process, in the workflows;

- are we sure, once more, that all regressions fixed are than 
forward-ported to 3.5.x branch or I can aspect to a "new" related 
regression when I'll try to use the future 3.5.x release?

- are someone interested in make quality always lower, someway 
boycotting LibreOffice and its diffusion, spread? Are regression 
somewhat, and also, linked to this? These are weak hypothesis, but I 
cannot fall silence about them anymore;

- I'm an Italian Computer Engineer and I'm part of the Venice Engineer 
Professional Association ("Ordine degli Ingengneri di Venezia") to whom 
I want to make adopting both OpenDocument file format and LibreOffice to 
deal with that file format, but at the moment (3.4.3) I still cannot. 
When will I be able to? At 3.4.4 time?

My 2 euros ;-)

Carlo
