Post-Installation Observations

Changed Desktop

Image Added

Observations

• The previous, OpenOffice.org 3.3 icon has been removed.
• The new icon identifies OpenOffice.org 3.4.
• The tool-tip for the 3.4 icon contains the name of the product, its version, and credits Oracle.

Issues/Migration

• The development builds should not replace existing non-development builds.
  • TODO: Capture the bugzilla already created about this.
• The Apache OpenOffice builds should not automatically replace any existing installations of releases from other projects with their different licenses and deployment processes.
• The Apache OpenOffice installation must be careful what previously-installed material is relied upon because of language, user preference, and osmosis of incompatibly-licensed work.

Variations

• TODO: Review the installation in the Start Menu
• TODO: Review the installation in the Windows file system
  • Verify both FAT and NTFS
• TODO: Review the installation in the Windows Registry

First-Run and Main Page

Image Added

Observations

• This is the main page of the overall application, reached by the desktop icon.
• The ODF-grey icons/insignias are used.
• The OpenOffice.org logo and version 3 is used (instead of 3.4).
• The gull button with shadow works
• The tool tip for one of the bottom symbols is shown

Issues/Migration

• It seems straightforward to replace the OpenOffice.org logo and version with the Apache OpenOffice replacement.
• The button is nice to preserve.
• The ODF-grey icons are misleading, since what is opened is not a document of fixed format, but an application that can produce varieties in their classes of formats

Variations

• Colored icons/insignias are being proposed.
• TODO: Link to the discussion of icons and of logos on this wiki
• TODO: Include some images on the contrasting use of the ODF-grey in the icon discussion, to illustrate the different ways the icons and their variations show up.

About Dialog

Image Added

Observations

• The main application screen has the OpenOffice.org icon and the ODF-grey icons for launching the individual applications.
• The Help | About dialog has the following product and version aspects:
  • The OpenOffice.org text and gull icon is present
  • The identified stage is version "3", not version "3.4"
  • The gull button with shadow works
  • The version is identified as OpenOffice.org 3.4.0
  • The build number does not advance
  • A Copyright notice reflecting Oracle and its affiliates (with start and end dates) is shown. There is no indication, in this case, that only some rights are reserved and there is an available license.
  • There is an Oracle identification and linking to a web page of credits to contributors.

Issues/Migration

• Action is required with regard to the credits.
• The Oracle claim needs to be replaced by the similar Apache one that avoids copyright notice.
  • Whether the Oracle copyright needs to be reflected somewhere, it should be in linked material perhaps
  • There needs to be linkage to license and readme/release-note information
  • The About panel is an ideal place to introduce the incubating logo and also the Apache Incubator Project feather and link, perhaps at the bottom of the text panel.

Variations

• TODO Explore the remainder of the Help menu for version and producer/product dependencies.
• TODO Check out the accessibility support
  • The installation process and different stages
  • The main page and its tool-tips and dialogs – dh:2011-12-27T03:41Z
