Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] timing, Paralympics

Hi :)
Ahh, it's good to know someone that is kinda in the BoD is here.  If i was a member i would vote in 
favour of Sophie just for that if nothing else but there are plenty other good reasons to vote for 
her too imo.  Similarly with Jean although most of the reasons are different.  

The wiki-page for bug-reporting is probably not perfect and could do with some editing to make it 
easier to understand.  It does get the job done though.  Top marks to whoever wrote it.  

A resource that is often over-looked is "people".  There is likely to be  lot of other people that 
follow the Paralympics that had no interest in watching the corporate-sponsored Olympics earlier in 
August.  Even people not following it might be vaguely aware of it.  It's a good time to make 
people on other lists aware of issues within Libra Office.  As confirmed by Sophie i'm not a good 
man for that task.  

Regards from
Tom :)

First, paralympics unfortunately won't have any influence on our resources. I hope that you have 
enough confidence in us to trust that if we don't look at something right when we are aware of it, 
it's not because of lack of interest. We try to manage our resources for the best for all our 
users, but unfortunately we are also quite short here.

Second, we don't ignore or disagree with what you said because of you, it's not personal, but 
sometimes you give your opinion on something
you have no idea about. Because most of us are reading a lot of lists, are doing a lot in the 
project, we just ignore what you said (i.e because it's not a real answer) or sometimes we may over 
react because we have lost some precious time reading one of your mail and it didn't bring any 
added value for us. We are not right, you are not wrong, we both (you and us) need to think before 
replying. Your reply will be read, but this time may be taken from others in the community who may 
be in more needs (and I hope that my English is enough to explain that it's not against you at all.)

The board has nothing to do here. The board is here to manage the foundation (administration, 
expenses, etc...) and eventually conflicts that may appear in the community. The request from Alex 
should be directed to the QA list because he his willing to bring some attention on a special area 
of the product, however this area belongs to the QA subproject, and may be he should be sent to the 
wiki for more information on how to fill a bug.

Kind regards
Sophie
