Bug ID: 169121
Summary: Replace 'Company' with 'Organization' in User Data
dialog (and in code)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: needsUXEval
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Blocks: 107636
Our User Data dialog has a field named 'Company'.
This is inappropriate, as it presumes that organizational affiliation is always
to a (commercial) company. The label should be changed to 'Organization', which
is more general: Companies are organizations, as are foundations, unions,
associations, clubs and other entities.
So, let's change that field name - change the label, and also the corresponding
naming in the code for consistency. Have a look:
https://github.com/search?q=repo%3ALibreOffice%2Fcore company&type=code
* SfxDocumentMetaData
* SvtUserOptions
* include files such as strings.hrc and dbui.hrc
* UserDataPart
Also, field names used in some examples.
Note that this is a matter of socio-political significance as well: LibreOffice
exists as a proof that not everything needs to happen within companies, and not
all organizations have to be companies. So why are we catering to the opposite
assumption?
