[16:43] Svante Schubert: Before we start the abstract of the paper:

[16:43] Svante Schubert: ABSTRACT
This work-in-progress report shows how the run-time complexity of handling file change can be reduced dramatically by defining the changes beforehand at design time.
Related change scenarios such as versioning, change-tracking, undo/redo, real-time collaboration and file merge are getting easy to handle, when the changes of the file format are being defined.
The following paper shows the principle design steps and change behavior run-time on the example of an office file format, the OpenDocument format (ODF), which is currently under ongoing specification by the subcomittee of the OASIS ODF standardization committee.

[16:48] Svante Schubert: At position 1 we add an "A"

[16:48] Svante Schubert: At position 2 we add an "B"

[16:48] Svante Schubert: At position 3 we add an "C"

[16:49] Svante Schubert: the same document can to be achieved by

[16:49] Svante Schubert: At position 1 we add an "C"

[16:49] Svante Schubert: At position 1 we add an "B"

[16:49] Svante Schubert: At position 1 we add an "A"

[16:49] Svante Schubert: Bot have the same result

[16:49] Svante Schubert: Bot have the same result

[16:49] Svante Schubert: two lists of operations that are equal

[16:49] Svante Schubert: and can be transformed to each other by using OT (operational transformation)

[16:50] Oliver-Rainer Wittmann: equivalent instead of equal. right?

[16:50] Svante Schubert: yes

[16:51] Svante Schubert: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office-comment/201407/msg00003.html

[16:59] Svante Schubert: Oliver: Explained the issue

[16:59] Svante Schubert: Oliver: Will create a new issue and state what he had explained

[17:00] Svante Schubert: Oliver: Will ask Dennis for further feed-back on the second part

[17:01] Svante Schubert: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office-comment/201406/msg00003.html

https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office-comment/201407/msg00001.html

[17:10] Svante Schubert: ".. 0,125. So far so good. Now I want the extra 3rd digit only to be displayed when actually used"

[17:10] Svante Schubert: ^^

[17:11] Svante Schubert: A missing display option of number in ODF

[17:11] Svante Schubert: I would say, out-of-our change-tracking scope
