[15:31] Oliver-Rainer Wittmann: Hi Thorsten

[15:32] John Haug: Hello

[15:32] Oliver-Rainer Wittmann: Hi John

[15:33] Patrick Durusau: Hi Oliver!

[15:34] Peter Rakyta- MultiRacio Ltd.: Hi there!

[15:34] Svante Schubert: Hi

[15:40] Oliver-Rainer Wittmann: Peter: If you have a certain change to the code base, it can be discussed in the corresponding communities. If consensus, all will benefit.

[15:40] Svante Schubert: Discussing Peter's extension and problem with automatic styles

[15:41] Svante Schubert: No, automatic style names should NOT be used, instead properties will be added explicitly to the operation

[15:45] Svante Schubert: OT an old story --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_transformation

[15:46] Svante Schubert: If you are working on the third paragraph, it is like: "modify paragraph 3"
if this op is waiting to be wired to a server, but meanwhile you receive another operation of a different user to the same document "insert new paragraph 2"
than you have to insert the new paragraph first, but you still want to adapt the same paragraph, but as a new one was inserted before, it is no longer the 3rd, but the 4th
In another eye-opener example to me was:
Imagine someone is inserting three paragraphs with a, b, c in a sequence
insert a @1
insert b @2
insert c @3
but it would be the same document, if the user starts with c and puts b before and finally a at the very beginning
insert c @1
insert b @1
insert a @1
So, you may find a rule, that when switching two operations in this sequence, and they one is before or at the same position, the position will be adapted

[15:53] Oliver-Rainer Wittmann: thx and bye

[15:53] Svante Schubert: byebye
