AbiWord Weekly News #116

AbiWord Weekly News #116, (2002, week 44, released 2002.11.04)

Welcome to this updated issue 116 of the AbiWord Weekly News.

The AWN loses and gains this week as a major issue was brought to my attention. TEMPORARILY lost are the Flushed bugs and QA helpers. Experimenting with Flushed to get the correct developer has left it temporarily disabled. You see, the problem is that it is REMARKABLY difficult to accurately uncover who made the last state change to a bug without actually reading the long list. This is bad, and I consider it a flaw in bugzilla. More importantly, had the AWN a bug report, this would be marked critical. This week's gain was the nifty Patch Prize and its winner. I've decided not to state the winner until that section, but congratulations to you.

As for AbiLand, if HEAD could talk, it would sing, as it currently possesses the ability to work with tables...in MS Word format. This was done, of course, as needed function by the contributor, ArVee. ArVee's next biggest project is importing Excel files as document objects. We Rock.

Also, just as interesting, AbiWord gains YAH, yet another hacker. Some people contribute money, others contribute code. Mike Peters (yes, another Mike) recently gained some spare hobby time to assist AbiDevelopment, and the first thing he did was fix bug 3888, a gtk2 issue involving selection, opacity and other things I nolonger remember. I look forward to tracking another developer's weekly improvements.

Finally, though many don't know it, I said if I was past 6am ET ever again, I'd start releasing the AWN on Sundays. Though this is actually a coincidence, I now have to get up a bit earlier on Mondays, so, the AWN will move Sunday. Self fulfilling prophecy?

Final note, Mark owes the AbiFund $20, and he better pay up soon. Speaking of money, the financial contributions section has undergone change.... You can now track the AbiFund.

DISCLAIMER: It should be generally noted that anything said before the "In this issue:" line is purely editorial. Especially after a second week of angering people in the open source community. Issue #115's rant wasn't directed to the open source community as much as certain members of slashdot that often claim great personal consideration, when, ultimately the read it one more time say, "Someone else will do it for me." Based on the small numbers of personal emails asking how to donate (yea, though it be at the bottom of every AWN), I feel that it has been sufficiently effective. As for the KWord cracks, I was trying a more Steve Jobs like experiment, hoping to get a more direct rivalry between KWord and AbiWord, which Dom didn't care much for, along with a few others. The right fan can make the schnitzle splatter far, but I guess it takes a team effort. Foolish of me to think hacking could be just like a sport...especially when their are teams, fans, allegiances, jokes, art, culture, heros and occasional direct competition. Or maybe it's simply that GNOME is now and has always been superior to KDE, when not morally, then by features, adaptivity and the dozens of other reasons...yeah, must be hard having to work on an interface that wastes too much time on copying others and too little time on innovation and human interface. I really shouldn't pick on them, though--that's like telling King Kong he's having a bad hair day...while he's busy falling off the Empire State Building.*

*Disclaimer: Hmm, looks like that went into a mini editorial. Gee, I do hope I haven't opened any cans of any thing. Perhaps just complaints from the soft skinned is all....

Whoops, looks like dropped my favourite gauntlet; could you get that for me?

Discussions

Traffic on the developer mailing list has settled at about 200-400 postings per week.

This week, big schnitzle announcement:

PayPal update :

A very nice and polite woman named Heather from PayPal called my home number this morning in order to resolve this dispute between AbiWord and PayPal. She emailed me 2 affidavits that I must sign, notarize, and then mail via post back to the PayPal headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska. The $581 will be credited to my account immediately thereafter. This means that within one working week the AbiWord Fund will have its $581 back, less the cost of postage and a notary's fee. All in all, that isn't so bad. To the folks at PayPal, I applaud you for doing the right thing, even if it took a while to do it. In my eyes, I feel that your company has redeemed itself. I only pray that your company handles all future complaints with the due-diligence that they deserve. To all of those who have written letters of support to both me and PayPal on my behalf, I thank you. I think that if nothing else, we've helped raise some awareness in the general community. At the very least, we've gotten our money back :) Thanks, Dom --- *) The PayPal documents were multi-page MS Word documents. AbiWord opened and printed both copies (paper output in my hands) before OpenOffice even loaded. Abi's versions look better, to boot. *) Omaha is also the US city where Nyorp, our "little BSD server that could" resides.

This week, interesting topics on the developer list included:

UPDATED: AbiWord Weekly News #115 (2002, week 43) released : In case you don't read/subscribe to either list, the last AWN had an update covering the AbiFund and bugs. I apologize to any and all developers who have failed to receive their due credit.
msword table import : Ruud Vring, aka ArVee, has done in the near impossible--in less than a month of development, MSWord tables have been brought to AbiWord. The KWord group must be a bunch of pussies...
Help stepping through objects in a document : Dr William Bland asks the intrepid hackers how AbiWord threads together those documents in an almost fun and easy to edit way. Certainly interesting to those who are curious about things like... "Why does it take two binaries to run the ant-laden application," or, "What is the air velocity of an unladen swallow?"
Announce: Weekly Patch Prize : Thanks to the generous Abi-Users, PayPal haters, PayPal loyalists, Dot-Heads for a Difference, whack-jobs that regularly read The Register and whomever else likes to share money with us, Dom is able to afford re-instating the Weekly Patch Prize. So, anyone interested in a POW now?
AbiWord 1.0.3 on RH8 : For three weeks, I've noticed a mention by some that AbiWord 1.0.3 has a unique series of problems on RH8. It became noticable at one point that I filed Bug 4222 to keep watch. After a return confirmation, I decided, haha, to file Bug 77102 at Red Hat. A lone response I got was a NOTABUG because this wasn't an issue with 1.0.2. My explaination and request for re-consideration went unanswered. If only the GPL applied to configuration options.
commit: win32 native status bar : Jordi does the whole "Native Thang" for the Win32 Status Bar, which was almost a POW. No screenshots, but it is worth mentioning, none the less.
Closed state in Bugzilla? : David Chart wants to know if anyone's taking care of moving verified to closed. He points out that there are several legions of bugs still awaiting closing...including #1.
Encoding issues : Christian has noticed that there is a small issue with working with encoding (i.e. Unicode vs. Everyone else). As would be expected, a small holywar/stress-releiving exercise ensues with Andrew on a rant. Mr. i18n is just a beginning!
Intro : Mike Peters, a name I hope to report more of in the future, asks the proper way to create diffs for AbiWord. Mike is a long-time-user first-time-commiter who wants to use some of his newly acquired free time to hack at AbiWord. Dom requests the results of cvs diff -u > patchfile be sent as an email attachment, just in case you're curious. Also in case your curious, his first commit was: Fix for Bug 3888: "Fixes 3888 - The gtk2 colour selector shouldn't have opacity setting."

This week, interesting topics on the user list included:

AbiWord questions I cannot answer myself : Rich Shepard makes it to my RH8 bug (UNCONFIRMED to NEW, which may have to goto RH-general) and has a font question that just screams "Documentation is for Sucka's and Chumps, Turkey!" The A-Team was great, wasn't it?
Spell Check Won't Work : Phil Dibowitz has issues with spell checking that come down to a documentation issue. By the way, AbiWord can use ispell and aspell, but defaults with pspell on Debian and ispell in general 1.0.x. There, now it's documented.

This week, interesting topics outside of Abidom included:

FootNotes: Re: AbiWord Weekly News #115 : No one in particular thinks that the AbiHackers are wasting their time with MSWord. Lots of good reasons, but they seem completely unaware that an influential Abi-User works at Microsoft. Why else do you think they're building Office 11 documents around XML formats. Yup, that's the reason...hoo yeah....
FootNotes: Re: AbiWord Announcement: Weekly Patch Prize : No one in particular isn't pleased with that whole Prize Patch concept. Thoughts of merchandising parade about while I suggest paying for POWs.
Slashdot: Abiword's PayPal Donation Fund Robbed : You know ever geek and nutjob knows the bad news when slashdot has it up. As expected, lots of (mostly crap) posts about never using PayPal again and Dom is bad at making passwords. The only really valid point being, "Why was the money kept in a PayPal account?" I did ask Dom if he was considering putting it elsewhere; he said something to the effect of, "Yes, I did consider that."
Slashdot: Slashback: Epson, AbiWord, Justification : Slashdot informs everyone that life got better...twice...in the same slashback. Slashdot informs everyone that life got better...twice...in the same slashback.

Weekly Prize Patch

And the very first award goes to...

ArVee!
Hi Folks, Dom and I are pleased to announce the first patch prize winner - ArVee for his seminal work in getting Tables imported from MS Word files. Kword have spent 2 years trying to do this and ArVee succed in less than 3 weeks :-) With this code in place we can improve the MSWord Table importer until it matches our RTF and native *.abw support. The close runner-up this week was beisi for substantial improvements to the sdw importer. We had lots of great commits this week - lets get lots this week in time for release 1.1.1 ArVee, please contact Dom at doml@appligent.com to arrange the receipt of your prize. Thanks folks, keep those patches and commits coming :-) Cheers Martin

POWs

The concept of a "Project Of the Week" is to single out tasks of major interest that outside developers might be interested in providing assistance to. Until a "best way" of listing POWs come to mind, they shall be listed in a short description. Any user interested is welcome to assist in tackling these POWs. If you know someone who's interested, you can link directly to a POW, in order, they're pow3 (at the top) through pow1 (at the bottom). Reminder to developers, I can't post them if you don't submit them. Additionally, feel free to announce if one of these is finished (in case you don't mention it on the list or in the cvs) Also, what a great way to get money from Dom!

Name: Style and/or Diction Plugins (bug 3281) (do either/or or both!)
Description: build a plugin to allow Abiword to check style and diction
Advertisement: me got no grammar fixer, help mes can't you?
Recommended Outline: Create a plugin for AbiWord that allows the checking of style and diction. The source code for the gnu style and diction tools is available here: http://www.gnu.org/software/diction/diction.html
As a prototype you might be able to hack something using the AbiCmd plugin to wrap the style and diction tools. The AikSaurus (Thesaurus) plugin should also be a helpful guide.
When you get the basics working you could try to get Abiword to display green squiggle underlines to mark errors, or otherwise work on a good user interface.
Comments: A great way to start playing with the AbiSource
System: Any OS will be fine.
Challenge level: ***.. 3 stars out of 5
Current Hero: The mastery of Kung Fu has yet to appear.

Name: Fix Windows printing boogs (bug 3239)
Description: Tackle some or more of the various bugs that cause issues in attempting to print under Windows
Advertisement: ????????????????????????????? (no, that's really the ad!)
Recommended Outline: You must become magical to know how to fix this.
Comments: "The problem is that printing on Windows is broken with several brand of printer drivers (see dependent bugs). It appears that with standard PostScript driver it does not happen. It appears also that version 0.9.6 had less problems than 1.0.1 so we might find out where the regression is bu diffing.
"Please, be sure to read all the bug reports. Even partial fix are accepted.
"Fixes must be done against STABLE tree and possibly ported to HEAD (the later can be done as a second step)."
This comes from Hub
Notice: This may already have been fixed with the libiconv upgrade, stay tuned!
System: Windows
Challenge level: ****. 4 stars out of 5
Current Hero: Not one MoFo yet has had the Huevos for this POW

Name: More Windows Maintainers
Description: Jordi could always use help
Advertisement: Help free people from the oppression of MSWord today!
Recommended Outline: You must become magical to know how to fix this.
Comments: Wouldn't be a bad idea to start with the printing bug...

Release HackDown

This is an AbiWord Weekly News original concept: The Release Hackdown. In the table below, you can watch what bugs are being fixed in preparation for the very next release. Check the key at the bottom to understand formatting.

No pressure, guys, I'm sure only 2000 or so people will be watching to see what you do weekly. That breaks down to about 285 people daily and 12 people hourly, so, it's like being peeked at once every five minutes, literally. "Isn't that veird!?"
