Title: OO version for editors (2.0 or 1.1.5)

 

If we agree that we should all use the same version, then I would say the question boils down to whether we should use 1.1.5 or 2.0.  I'm always in favor of using the latest version as long as it's stable.

I have been using 1.1.4.

 

I care about a stable version that I do not need to chase bugs. If 1.1.5 is stable enough, I see no reason why we should not move to that.

I think we should all use the same version of OO. There may be no issues with using different versions but using the same version removes one source of potential problems.

 

I don't really care if we use 1.1.5 or if we use 2.0. I'm willing to upgrade to 2.0 if/when the other editors so the same. Its not like I have to pay for an upgrade license or anything . . .

Hi editors,

I made a detailed pass over the document this weekend to fix up editorial issues.  I tried to limit myself explicitly to issues I deemed editorial, and will send around a red line doc showing the diffs so that the editors can agree to the changes before I submit them. 

The point of this mail is that when I tried to do the diff to send it out right now, I was unable to do so effectively because I apparently have a newer version of Open Office installed than the rest of you. OO 2.0 [1] was released in October, and I was curious what the editors thought about upgrading to the newly released version. 

In the meantime, I'm currently installing the 1.1.5 version that Gil mentioned he is using so that I can produce the aforementioned diff. 

This is just a general pulse check: What versions are editors using now, and what do the editors think about upgrading to the 2.0 version of Open Office?

Cheers,
Steve
