LibreOffice SI-GUI Release 4.0.3.5

For everyone, who thinks, that this release is a minor one (4.0.3.4 -> 4.0.3.5) is definitely wrong. I am very excited to announce this new version, because of a few things:

• All languages are updated (Some languages were behind with the last releases)
• All the l10n  work has been done within 24h – Congrats
• Very much user feedback has been built-in
• A shiny new UI is in
• A lot of ( really, you can hardly imagine how much work it was in fact….)

Special thanks to Pedro Lino for all the suggestions, which finally made the UI looking  the way it is now and for all the bugs he submitted so quickly.

Please have a look at the new UI :

So, please try it now

LibreOffice Server Install GUI – New UI – Follow up

Hi and thank you for all the positive feedback I continued developing the new UI and, because of your feedback, the “Download any LibreOffice version” option will not be hidden in the download menu, but get a place in the main UI. ( I am currently working on that functionality ) Anyway, here is a gallery, which shows 3 pics this time.

The first is the ancient one from current stable release, the second is the first draft and now follows the second draft Any opinions? [Sorry, text on screenshots is in German...]

Better UI for SI GUI

Hi,

I am really active over the last few weeks and I am really proud of all the feedback I got in the vote for features. So, before I am able to implement new exciting features, I have to do some work in the background. One part is dev-like (For those, who are interested: Make the download part reuseable….) and, because of the lack of space for new buttons a “new” UI. I really appreciate early feedback, so please compare the two pictures and tell me your opinion. One note, right now, then the pictures . The only thing which drops down is “Download”. You will understand, if you have a look at the pictures….

PS: I am sorry for the German UI, of course other languages are available. Currently translations to English, German, French, Spanish, Slovenian, Danish, Portuguese, Hebrew and Dutch are available. Your language missing? Comment, if you are willing to translate

LibreOffice Server Install GUI – Vote for feature

Hi,

In the last post, I asked you, what you want to have. I am going to try to implement every proposal with more than 5 votes. Feel free to keep commenting, what you want to have. It might find its way in the survey

LibreOffice SI GUI – Call for feature proposals

UPDATE: voting is online now

A lot has been done during the last year. Currently this program has many exciting features, like

• Manager for all installed LibreOffice versions
• The ability to download 4 different up-to-date versions of LibreOffice
• Locating and helping to edit the bootstrap.ini file
• Translated in many languages

These features work really fine for Windows XP to Windows 8 and I really would like to add features. (Please click here to get to the LibreOffice ServerInstall GUI homepage) This post is to collect ideas, which features should be added. I am going to make a list of all possibilities right here. With all of the entries (which seems to be proper enhancements) I am going to make a poll. (Coming in a later post). So please comment, if your enhancement idea is not in the list yet:

• Adding possibility to download any version of LibreOffice
• Adding possibility to download any version of OpenOffice
• Adding possibility to download debug master build
• <Your idea might be here soon>

Sorry for no updates

Hi everyone,

It has been a reasonably long time since my last post, but there are a lot of things going on.

Beside of a Windows only game I am working for, LibreOffice Server Install GUI got continuous improvements. Currently the source of LibreOffice Server Install GUI is hosted at both, GitHub and LibreOffice repositories. It is planned not to host the binaries at the freehoster they are hosted currently in the near future. I really hope, that there are no access problems then.

BTW: During the next few months I am going to publish a so called “Fachbereichsarbeit” (pre-scientific paper) about OpenSource. I hope you like this paper, although it is written in German…

Something different now:

Does anyone of you know a service for a telephone conference for free and as open as possible? I only know the following ones:

• Google Hangouts
• Skype
• Teamspeak
• Jitsi
• http://conversat.io/ + https://next.andbang.com/ later on??
• Mumble
