Yes, they are. Michael Meeks disected the Windows installer and posted
information about it just recently. Stop pretending you know what
people do when you don't.

I see a thread on the discuss@TDF mailing list (NOT the LO development
list) in which lots of people, but no code-contributing developer
participated. And from that you can deduce what people are actually
working on? Congratulation to your prophetic abilities!

Perhaps because she said it in the developer list?

You did see the part by Michael about the correlation between whining
and the motivation to actually work on things?

And sometimes it is the only way to get into peoples virtual or physical
kill files. I know I stopped reading mails from you as the mostly
contained non-constructive whining, demanding and something that is very
close to insulting. If that is what you call collaborating...

That is a great contribution and very welcome. Thank you.

http://www.documentfoundation.org/develop/ has a whole section called
"Filing bugs"

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org contains a link to "Information about
reporting bugs" as the third sentence on the main page.

If there are better ways on how to link to the bug tracker, feel free to
suggest them.

Until then, I propose to bring constructive criticism rather than
insults (even if you'd call it provocation). It tends to win more
hearts.
