Wow, what a genuinely polite reply! Do you behave like this at home
or at work?

Hi Christoph,

at the very least, your above comment carries quite a bit of what you
were complaining about others. Let's all try to be nice & friendly.

Just to put some perspective to the original request, the LibreOffice
project tried pretty hard, from day one, to avoid creating
barriers. Therefore the default, visceral reaction to any such request to
erect walls will be a 'no' (or a 'no, why?' if you're lucky).

As such, with the responses that you got, you see that you're
challenging a culture here. So even if your request has merit, expect
more work & convincing necessary than a simple email. People are like
that.

In other words, I and the friendly people who donated from their
backups want to help you to fix YOUR bugs.

This is much appreciated!

We are no beggars who want you to solve our non-existing problems
but do like what DLP/LibreOffice is doing and want to support
it. Most people who sent me their test files probably don't use
LibreOffice (yet), and if they do, they certainly don't need its
graphics/DTP import filters. They do know, however, that other
projects like Inkscape and Scribus use them.

Ok, point taken.

A suggestion from my side would be to grant DLP hackers "Developer"
status on Scribus's bugtracker (bugs.scribus.net) for DTP and vector
formats, so I can upload the test files over there as "Private". As
"Developers" they would have access to the test files. The status
would only be granted if one of the DLP leads (e.g. Fridrich Štrba
or David Tardon) can confirm that the person is indeed an active DLP
developer.

That to me sounds like a nice, quick, no-brainer solution to the
problem. :)

Cheers,

-- Thorsten
