Its been a while since I last volunteered contributions to #libreoffice #writer, but I have been a contributor for a decade or so allowing me to know it will be in dire straits without this bunch: Caolan, mst, Miklos and sberg -- not just for their code, but also for their hearts and souls serving and growing Writer for multiple decades, bringing it from the shaky StarOffice origins to the trusty workhorse it became.

I guess @erAck can say the same about #Calc now without e.g. @kohei .

Thank you, Caolán!

Dear Caolán, Thank you for all the hard work for the project. It’s hard to find a piece of code you didn’y touch and improved! The total number of commits above 36 000 (yes, 36 * 1000) is impressive, you were one of the “core” top 10 contributors. Many of them resolved countless Coverity and OSS-Fuzzer and crash-testing findings, driving LibreOffice code quality to new heights. You was the face of Huge internal re-factorings: did the most of the work to elevate the UI code to a todays st...

Is Wayland soon feature complete? By feature complete I mean that 99% of use cases are covered, surpassing X11 in terms of requirements to a windowing system.

The XDG-Session-Management-Protocol [1] has been merged. Color management and HDR support has been improved. Zones protocol for multi window applications has been merged. What about #accessibility ?

Do you use touchpad gestures (e.g. three-finger swipes to switch apps, four-finger swipes to open a specific window) on a laptop?

Yes, I love them.

It has been about a year since I started work on Solitaire, over that time I learned how to use #GTK, Rust, and gtk-rs. I also worked with others in the #GNOME community, and it has been a great learning experience.
I am excited to announce that Solitaire is now on #Flathub!
Here's what I changed right before release:
• Made cards get unhighlighted upon a move
• Fixed a bug where cards would be off-center

You can get Solitaire at https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.gitlab.wwarner.Solitaire
