Hi :)
Just one thing.  LO is not particularly small and it's definitely not new.  The original code was 
called Star Office and was developed around a decade or so ago.  After a couple of years Sun took 
it on and called it OpenOffice.org and then TDF took the code and called it LibreOffice.  So there 
are probably chunks of the code and ways of doing things that date back to the last century!  Hence 
why you still see references to "soffice" if you look in your task-manager or systems processes.  

Now that a lot of the old irrelevant comments and stuff have been almost cleaned out (allegedly) it 
might be possible to focus more on streamlining and using more modern approaches in some areas.  It 
should definitely be easier to find your way around the code and i think that is going to have some 
big impacts on the effectiveness of any work done by the devs.  The Pita stuff is nearly done.  
Time for some fun!  (or have i got it wrong again?)
Regards from
Tom :)

This is a very interesting information. I am not really surprised by the ration indicated here. 
I exepcte finding the cause of a bug takes much more time than final fix. I am grateful to the 
dev because I know myself how difficult it is to find a bug in a complicated SW.

Question: What means:
- bot lists
-FDO
In IRC (chat client) we have automatic robots that routinely (ten's of times a day) say what 
patches have been submitted to gerrit (the service we use to keep our code). Every time a patch is 
submitted the robot (bot) spits out an automated message saying that a person (with a name) has 
submitted a patch and explains what that patch does.

FDO = free desktop . org (f d o). Ans is where you can report bugs pertaining to the libreoffice 
project. If you want to see a list of confirmed bugs look here -- you'll see immediately how 
overwhelmed a small project can get:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&list_id=147729&product=LibreOffice&query_format=advanced&order=opendate%2Cchangeddate%2Cbug_status%2Cpriority%2Cassigned_to%2Cbug_id&limit=0

That is 3,956 bugs and climbing (there are an additional 1,200 or so that are reported but not 
confirmed yet...the QA team confirms the bugs so developers can focus on coding)


Regards,
Joel
