It's useful to be able to read commit diffs. AIUI OpenOffice docs are zipped so diffs aren't generated by SVN/Git etc. Also if the documentation source is all text-based then it's a lot easier to do searches and scripted edits (e.g. to fix common typos) On 14 November 2016 at 19:54, Manfred Mo

Again this is not the world we occupy. There is no litmus test for who can join our lists and participate. Safety remains a priority that needs to be addressed- not for the majority, but for those occasional cases where it can and does take place here. Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 14, 2016,

Please forgive my ignorance on the matter, but isn't this a prestigious Open Source software Foundation? For such top engineers you think you would have less safety concerns. Perhaps this is the Linux foundation's influence on the ASF? Perhaps Schneier can comment on your seeming "Culture of Fear

I took a leave of absence from the ASF for over a year (my previous email on this thread was one of my first since returning) precisely because the treatment I got on these mailing lists was so deleterious for my mental health that I had to take a break, for my safety. Positioning *war* as the can

I have used all those as well and my preference still sits with asciidoc. Mostly because I have a larger choice of quality output. If I have the choice overall and write more complex stuff on my own I would probably go back to LaTeX ;-) manfred Martin Desruisseaux wrote on 2016-11-14 11:16:

Switching from Asciidoc to OpenOffice seems like a recipe for disaster to me. Asciidoc (or asciidoctor) is very capable for PDF creation and is used in publishing companies like OReilly. And as you mentioned you can use your version control system nicely. With OpenOffice you would loose the ab

Thanks Niclas, Openhub has most of what I was thinking. It’s a case of not knowing what was out there. Thanks so much for the link. There is a little more I would like to see with this. But this is a big help.Now, I know that it can & has been done, I can add what I need or use as is.

Hi Niclas, I’m not sure I wanted anyone to jump up and down as If I discovered water on Mars ☺. This is not a new concept or idea. I simply haven’t seen it being published and thought it would be a nice thing. Of course, just because I haven’t seen it, doesn’t make it innovative and, of cour

Trust me, I was not offended by your request, more "surprised" and somewhat "so what do you want from us". And maybe I should have dug up http://www.openhub.com that provides these kind of metrics, and I know of one other effort as well, but can't find the link (possibly not public yet). I am just
