Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LO 3.5 - Can't see page margins in Writer

Hi :)
+1
Regina gives good advice even if it's not always what you want to hear.  In general i find that 
acting on Regina's advice gets the job done.  

Almost everyone else gets side-tracked from time-to-time.  Some more than others.  Regina has been 
criticised quite a lot in the last few days and i think quite unfairly.  She is not paid to give 
advice and help people.  I don't think anyone here is.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi Jean-Francois,

well, but it's true - *someone* would need to carry the discussion
to the relevant list, see below. I would be very surprised if this
is different in any other free software project of this size.

If you want the devs to actually work on code, instead of reading
emails all day (mind that, typically, the core developer list has
some 1000+ postings alone per month), it has to be like this.
Someone would need to mine for the bits of developer-relevant
information among sometimes rather general discussions, distill it
down to actionable content, and bring it to the right place -
ux-advise for the question at hand.

If you're really passionate about this topic, it could be you -
isn't it always better to be part of the solution, rather than part
of the problem? ;)

Cheers,
