[New: openFATE 309565] Hacking Apache FOP (learn some java)

Feature added by: Juergen Weigert (jnweiger) Feature #309565, revision 1 Title: Hacking Apache FOP (learn some java) Requested by: Juergen Weigert (jnweiger) Description: Apache FOP is a great docbook to PDF renderer. Doc-team has found some strange limitations, some of them appear trivial to fix. E.g. some text simply does not appear on the cover. Unfortunatly, FOP is written in Java, and I have never looked at java code before. I'd like to create a development and debugging environment for FOP. Is there anybody interested to guide me into the world of Java, and join me in picking some of the low hanging fruits there? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309565

Feature added by: Cristea Bogdan (Bogdanc23) Feature #310910, revision 1 Title: Free Student Management System inclusion Education Li-f-e: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Cristea Bogdan (bogdanc23) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: FreeSMS is a small project aimed at ensuring students management for individual teachers and small schools/universities. With respect to other student management systems it has less functionality, its main goal being simplicity and usability. I think this feature is already included by openSUSE Life, not sure if the latest version is included. A better description of the FreeSMS features should be made, since FreeSMS has been recently updated. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310910

[New: openFATE 310069] run yast2 second stage config in ncurses or VGA mode

Feature added by: Bernhard Wiedemann (bmwiedemann) Feature #310069, revision 1 Title: run yast2 second stage config in ncurses or VGA mode openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Bernhard Wiedemann (bmwiedemann) Description: Note: This feature request is intended for 11.3+1 but this option was unavailable in the list. With 11.2 default installs, I have observed 3-4 installs and 2-3 of those ended with a black screen where yast2 second stage configuration should have been. The actual reasons for the black screens differed. One had an ATI graphics driver crash and another used the maximum possible resolution (1600x1200), which the CRT-monitor could not handle. However, from a user perspective, this all came out to the same awful experience - a non-working system that is giving no hint to what might be wrong. Also, before this second stage configuration finished, many of the normal methods to debug and amend such problems can not be used. e.g. adding a "3" for a different runlevel does not work and the user-password is not set (only root). So my suggestion to better the experience is to start out in ncurses or safe VGA mode and at some point (e.g. at end of configuration) prompt the user "I am now trying the $DRIVER graphics driver which might not work. Old settings will be restored in 15 seconds. If you encounter problems, check http://en.opensuse.org/SDB/Graphics/$DRIVER for help [OK] [Cancel]" Of course, it could be argued, that X11-autodetection and drivers should work and bugzilla be involved, but this would not improve the general user-experience for the cases where something breaks anyway. Often quality is not about how well something works, but how well something fails. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310069
