4. Informal notes from 21 October 2024
Francis: Michael reported that the public sign-up to the comment list doesn't work. There is no acknowledgement that the person signing-up has been subscribed.
Regina Henschel: Subject: Carol has fallen, Svante is absent, Francis, can you lead the call? It just happened about 10 minutes ago so I want to keep a watch on her
Francis: We reviewed the information from the Excel team here: issues.oasis-open.org/browse/...
Regina Henschel: German Excel: =SUM(MUNIT({1\2}))
Regina Henschel: resolves in German to =SUM({{1}\{1\0;0\1}})
Francis: Regina: This is strange...
Francis: Strange, and a moving target, as the Excel team will probably change the behaviour. Can we standardize on this basis?
Francis: Regina: We at least need to do a comparison of several implementations, including LibreOffice, Gnumeric and Excel.
Regina Henschel: and Google spreadsheets.
Francis: A "test suite" is needed. There is already material in the related JIRA issues.
Francis: I'll write to Kelly about the sign-up problems reported by Michael.
Michael Stahl: email of the person who tried to sign up for comments: mikekaganski@hotmail.com
Francis: I must request leave of absence for two meetings: 28/10 and 4/11.
Francis: Michael and Alfred both request leave of absence for the meeting on 28/10.
Francis: informal meeting adjourned 16:47 UTC.
Regarding OFFICE-4166, not noted above, but Regina I think agreed to do some work on tests to compare the behaviour of LibreOffice, Gnumeric, Excel and Google Sheets.
We also wished you and Carol the best, a speedy recovery for Carol, and hope you'll be back in action for the next meeting. However, please note that both Michael and I will definitely be absent on Oct 28th, and I will be absent on Nov 4th. Alfred may additionally be absent on Oct 28th, so I suspect next week's meeting will be just between you, Svante and Regina.
5. Kelly's response on comment subscription:

6. Kelly's response on editing the homepage (sent to me and not the group):
Regarding the new page you are looking for, I don't believe this exact functionality exists to create an entirely new page. This homepage works off of the idea of linking to other places in the workspace or to external sources.
A few other potential solutions come to mind:
- We could move content in document/file format to the 'documents' folder in the 'workspace' tab
- We could shift material to a GitHub repository. Our options for this differ depending on the intended user (TC member vs. general public)
- We could find some other way to structure the homepage depending on what you are looking to accomplish
7. Review ODF homepage for content (not layout)
*As per our discussion last week, I have reworked the email addresses to
be read, what about URLs in links?
8. Adjournment
Hope everyone is at the start of a great week!
