As I recall the majority of the OpenOffice team went to Libre, that isn't the point I'm making here.

Yes, just like you can clone draw.io and run that forever. Except, until you can't.

Like last week when Safari 16 broke any use of the command key on Macs and we received 5+ reports per hour until it was fixed.

I'm not quite sure why everyone feels OS means you'll have the app forever. This isn't true in my experience.

Adobe can buy the company that is supplying the devs for penpot the same way it bought Figma.

Sure the source can be reused, but you think another collection of individuals will come along and host the project in the same way?

You think the codebase would be developed/maintained at all if all the original devs left? History says otherwise, from the examples I've seen.

Isn't it "i18n"?

We put all the translations in a spreadsheet, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FoYdyEraEQuWofzbYCDP.... We didn't like the idea of storing in any more complex than a csv file.

All changes are shown to us in a diff before we merge, the csv is then downloaded and the i18n files created automatically after we merge the branch.

We've never had a single instance of abuse in over 10 years.

draw.io | Templates person | 100% remote | https://app.diagrams.net/?mode=device

We're a funded, open source project, looking for someone to make a coherent set of diagram templates (https://app.diagrams.net/?mode=device , click new ).

This isn't a technical role. Might suit someone looking for a low pressure, low complexity role. You'll need a reasonable eye for design.

You'll need to be a independent worker. We'll say "take the current ~200 templates to 1k+ , make them useful to people, look good and be coherent as an overall set". You'll say ok and start on a plan to implement that.

Could be done part-time or full-time. If you get to 1k templates, then go to 2k, 10k if it floats your boat. Apply [email protected]

The joke is more that "you have amazing eyes" more means "you have beautiful eyes", at least in British English. "you have excellent eyes" would be how I'd comment on someone's eyesight.

And that's wrong because the units are outdated?...

Depends whether you tried to sell a license to the software, or the copyright to the software. The later you can't do, the buyer would have a fraud case against you.

The former is fine, as long as the license is the one that the software is publicly licensed under.

Maybe you should launch a fork of it for medical diagramming :).
