I wasn't looking, or thinking about AOO for a few months - missed the

The old one was for product ideas.  The new one was for questions.  It
seemed like a good idea to keep these distinct.

Anyway, it is the top vote getter question there alright...


Let me know if you see any other questions that should be answered.
You may notice that no single iPad/Android question was in the top 10,
though there were several of them that were in the top 20.  So combing
the votes on those gave me an excuse to bump into into the winners
circle.  I might do the same for the Windows 8 support questions --
again, several of them where votes could be combined.

so far, so good...and sorry I can't really help with 7, 8, or 10



Oddly, I can't actually get the csv export from google on the proper
question page - remote services, try back again in 2 minutes please ;)

Right - I've taken the csv export, sucked into Calc, removed the
author/location columns completely, saved as ODS and imported that into
Google Docs.
Also added a column which subtracts, minus votes, and so yes getting a
single question ranking is trivial.


Google Moderator does that automatically.  That is part of their
popularity ranking.  They might take some other factors into account,
such as how recently a question was asked.  An older question had more
time to get up votes, so some normalization seems desirable.  For
purposes of the blog post I'm using the Google ordering rather than
devising my own metric.


Any reason, now that the author name/location is excised, not to share
this
raw data for reading. I was about to include the URL here, thought I'd
ask
to be sure no one minds.


We had the URL on the front page of our website for weeks.  So it is
hardly a state secret.  I'll add a link to the blog post as well.

Hey Rob,

Looking at the blog - I read it that the question abut LibO and AOO is
the
number one asked question, is that what it say?

I'm looking at the google site and sorting by popularity under general
questions and get:
"Most of the times I deal with middle eastern languages. when I open a
DOCX, DOC or PPTX, PPT file, the text changes from RTL to LTR and vice
versa. no matter the file is in middle eastern language or latin.
please
fix it."


You are looking at the wrong Google Moderator session.  Try this one:
http://www.google.com/moderator/#16/e=2033e8

So, I just downloaded the stats as a csv file, don't see yet how to
get
the
top questions by vote, haven't really looked yet..by any chance to you
already have this in a neat SS that you could share,


You should be able to export to a CSV file if you find that more
convenient.  But the default sort order is by popularity, so picking
out the top questions is trivial, once you are looking at the right
page.

-Rob


Thanks,

Drew

OK.  See if the revised answer is good.

Revised text is very good.


<snip

Is there anything in the current text that suggests blame?

No, Rob, there is not, nor was there; I'm sorry if it was picked up
so.
  My comment was intended as general policy that we should not
attribute
blame in any direction; I think we are all well aware how any such
might be
picked up by pro-active supporters of other office suites and a
seemingly
innocent statement of fact escalated into a vicious slanging match,
with
increasing ill-feeling on both sides.  If the AOO project is to
proceed
(and hopefully, heal historic breaches) I think we all need to be
careful
to avoid adverse criticism of others involved in another but similar
project.
